Ready for a culinary adventure? In the latest episode of "Like in China," host Pablo Coppari sits down with Karina Gao, a Chinese immigrant who arrived in Buenos Aires at age nine. Her story is all about adapting to a new language, embracing Argentine traditions, and never giving up on the dumplings she grew up loving. 🥟✨
Fast-forward to today, Karina runs her own kitchen venture, Gao, where she serves pan-fried dumplings, Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste), and other family recipes. Imagine biting into a crispy-bottomed dumpling with just a hint of chimichurri spice – that’s her signature twist, blending two culinary worlds in every bite. 🌶️🤝
Karina believes food is more than flavor; it’s a bridge between cultures. Whether you’re a digital nomad coding in Bangalore or a startup founder in Jakarta, her journey shows how food can spark conversations and create community. It’s like sharing your favorite street food recipe on Instagram and finding a global fam who gets your vibe. 🌍💬
So, grab your chopsticks (or fork!) and tune in to "Like in China." Let Karina’s story inspire your next kitchen experiment – because great food reminds us we’re all connected, one delicious dish at a time. 😋🍽️
