Let’s celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!

What  better way to celebrate this heritage than with Asian and Pacific Islander-themed meals? From noodle bowls to Dole Whips at Capt. Cook’s to Ube Pianono or Korean Bulgogi hot dogs at Disney Springs, there are all kinds of tasty meals and treats for you to try. And we have a recipe for another meal that was inspired by a restaurant in Magic Kingdom — you can make it at home!

Thanks to our friends over at D23, we have this recipe for the Plant-based Perkins Thai Noodles. This dish is inspired by an old secret-menu item from Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom. Let’s make them!
