January 7th: Soba Noodles and Stuffed Bing
January 7th: Soba Noodles and Stuffed Bing
1/7 at 6:30pm EST: Nashville chef Colby Rasavong will teach you how to make soba noodles from scratch, to be served warm in a shiitake tea. Also on the menu is bing stuffed with potato and cheese.
Did you ever think you would be learning how to make soba noodles? When Chef Rasavong suggested we make a warm soba noodle dish, my brain didn’t even consider the possibility that we would be making our own soba noodles. But cooking outside of your comfort zone is what these classes are all about. Anything involving dough – including December’s shortbread cookie class – is way outside of my comfort zone.
So what else are we doing in this class? Well, we are doubling down on dough. We will also be making bing dough, and filling the bing with potato and cheese.
Potato and cheese stuffed bing. We will cook them in a skillet in class.
