FIELD TRIP: Discovering Asian food at United Noodles grocery store

Did you know that Minnesota's largest Asian grocery store is tucked into an industrial park off Minnehaha Ave. in Minneapolis?


We headed over to United Noodles as part of our FIAR study of "Grandfather's Journey" by Allen Say, upon the recommendation of a friend who is originally from Japan. Walking through the store gave us a fascinating glimpse into another culture via their food. Well, into many cultures as United Noodles has products from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Hawaii and more. Their cafe inside the store serves ramen, BBQ pork, house made kombucha and creative weekly specials.





The family-owned and operated supermarket has been serving the community for more than 40 years.
 
We brought home a pile of fantastic products, including a bunch of gluten-free noodles. Oh, and bubbles for bubble tea! Plus I had to get Barley Tea after drinking it at a friend's house. (See post here on our Japanese Lunch.)

And then we started cooking. First up on our Menu were spring rolls!
