Here are three things we love about Ming Tsai:1. He comes out of the kitchen (sometimes) at Blue Ginger in Wellesley and sits at his own bar for a drink.
2. He learned to cook in a whole new way when his own children developed food allergies.
3. He talks to people -- regular people, famous people -- but keeps coming back to us regular folks.
Which is why, perhaps, he's decided to open a noodle bar for lunchtime service in the lounge of Blue Ginger, effective March 30. He'll do his own spin on regular-folks food like classic Ramen and stir-fried noodles but they'll be that much better.
Think Spicy Pork Miso Ramen.
And Garlic Miso Ramen.
And Yakisoba Stir Fried Noodles.
Mmmhm.
As for what to drink?
Check out Ming's own suggestions for wine, beer and cocktails to pair with his food.
Whether you have something with your noodle lunch (and why wouldn't you?), or if you come back for dinner and have it then, you will never be at a loss for just the right drink.

If you're at a tasting of red and white wines, and you know you're going to be tasting a lot of high-acid Rieslings (like those from Germany or New Zealand), drink the reds first. Otherwise the acidity from the Rieslings, if you drink those first, will send the tartness of the red wines through the roof.
