OMAHA FOOD DAY
Rain or shine we made our way to the 2019 Omaha Food Day in historic downtown Omaha. We were honored to be invited to demo a unique dish in the Big Garden and CHI Gather Mobile Teaching Kitchen. We decided to showcase our ability to reduce food waste by using 'scraps' in our recipe. Check out this beautiful dish: Ginger-Soy Soba 'Scrap' Noodle featuring carrot tops and leftover Soba Noodles.
