River’s End Restaurant at Nantahala Outdoor Center is once more serving its legendary Sherpa rice dish after locals and visitors alike begged them to bring it back.
Sherpa rice has been a staple on the menu since NOC’s beginning, and it’s hard to find anything like it in the South. Inspired by their travels in Nepal, NOC co-founders Aurelia and Payson Kennedy created the original recipe, featuring a medley of rice, beans, lentils and stir-fried vegetables with soy-ginger sauce.
With dropping temperatures calling for comfort food, now is the time to stop by and try it.
