Did you know that Airbnb offers “experiences” as well as boarding? You can find hikes and bikes, art walks, cooking, brewing and art classes just to name a few.
My oldest daughter’s misfortune of a knee injury turned into my first “Airbnb Experience” taking her place in a Ramen Making cooking class. I’d never thought about making my own, but have enjoyed authentic ramen (that was not made from a solid lightweight pack that coasts $.99 for 10.)
The Story of Ramen is taught by an ex-techie who has embraced his foodie inner Asian soul. It was fun learning the basics and techniques and then enjoying our (not so hard) work combined with his enormous amount of prep! Truly the best ramen I’ve had and a fun experience with my younger daughter.
Some of what I learned can be applied to pasta making, since we learned how to use those Kitchenaid attachments and how to properly prepare the dough. I may get real ambitious and try to do the whole deal, broth and pork to noodles, for a Ramen dinner party. Manville, our techie-foodie instructor, followed up with the recipes and most of the how-tos.
