Fermenting in the Lunar New Year  / Copenhagen, Denmark

A collaboration with Lan Xin Foo, owner of Foo Ferments, a fermentation lab and community space in Copenhagen. Recipes were drawn from our childhood memories of celebrating Lunar New Year in Singapore and Los Angeles. Ingredients highlighted Copenhagen’s spring foraged ingredients and Foo’s in-house ferments (including Denmark’s first, and only, soy sauce).
