In this fun, hands-on class, you will be guided step-by-step in recreating this popular noodle soup dish, renowned for its rich broth, abundance of noodles and endless toppings!

You will then learn how to balance flavors to create your ramen broth and the addition of various vegetables. You will learn to make your very own homemade ramen noodles from scratch and pair your noodles with a Chicken Miso Ramen Broth.
Cook your noodles and add all the extras that make this deliciously authentic dish! Once you have created your Ramen sensations, you can have fun customizing your bowl with a variety of traditional garnishes and toppings before enjoying your creation with your new found foodie friends!
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don't already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who's happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are not included in the ticket price. Classes are intended for adults 18+.
