    Rolls, Rolls and More Rolls

    What they lack in edges, they make up for with fantastic flavor. This week’s episode of Dim Sum and Then Some covers the coveted DIY food of our youth - the roll. We talk about the many forms of the egg roll (some of them even made with actual egg!) and our collective suckiness at wrapping spring rolls. Or maybe just Kevin. Either way, you’re in for a treat!

    Instant Noodles

    If this wasn’t a major part of your diet growing up, then I don’t even want to talk to you. This week, we’re talking about the wonder-food and pit some of the best ramen-producing nations in the world against each other for noodle supremacy.

    Soup

    When does a soup become a stew? Is a noodle soup still a soup? These are the hard-hitting questions we tackle as we dive deep into our memory banks to recall the corn soups, bone broths and rice noodles that our parents made for us as kids.

    Boba

    You've seen it, you've heard of it - maybe you've even tasted it before. Yes, this episode is all about BOBA. We talk about our first encounters with the drink, our go-to orders, and discover what the word actually means. Hint: It's a body part - and probably not the one you're thinking of.
