About the series:
The Very Asian Guide series was started by award-winning journalist Michelle Li, who started a global movement of unity with the viral hashtag #veryasian after she received a racist voicemail in response to her sharing on-air the Korean foods she eats. The Very Asian series is a celebration of food and culture inspired by this moment.
