@ Japanese Culinary Center learning all about Ramen

I'm the biggest fan of Ramen (or Japanese noodle in broth) and I could not miss JCC's Ramen workshop where you learn everything about well none other than.. Ramen. 

This is a five part series and I went to the first one. The chef talked about the different aroma oils that could go into ramen to give it a flavor boost. My favorite was the scallion oil with chicken broth. Check out the cool dropper they used to put the oil in. Great idea!

Grab your free Korean Food from Taste of Korea NYC food truck.

As I was walking in midtown manhattan during lunch hour, and I heard someone yell, "Free korean food!", so my tummy gravitated towards the voice and a nice korean lady in front of a food truck motioned me to get in line if I wanted a free soy sauce and sesame oiled marinated pork, otherwise known as L.A Galbi. MARINATED PORK? KOREAN FOOD?FREE? why not! I got in line that had only 5 people ahead of me.

While waiting in line, the nice korean lady proceeded to tell me that the organizer, Taste of Korea NYC, was the brainchild of Korea's first lady who wanted to bring more awareness of Korean food to the New York community. Every day for a month, the food truck parks during lunch hour in a midtown or downtown location and offers free food to hungry new yorkers.

Before I got my Galbi, the lady passed me a booklet, a kind of guide to various korean restaurants in New York. At the back of the booklet were coupons that I could use at the various korean restaurants. : )))) I know what kind of food I'll be eating for the next month!
