4.5 stars

I am somewhat surprised that more people
haven't heard of this cookbook.

It is really is the definitive cookbook on
all types of Asian noodle recipes.

Approximately 150 different recipes.
From China, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and
Japan. Also a small section of vegetarian recipes.

For various reasons, I am somewhat interested
in noodle recipes. I consider this one of the 30
best cookbooks that I have seen in my life.

This is mainly a meat oriented noodle book. I was despairing until the last chapter which has vegetarian recipes. Dishes are by type of noodle and Asian region.
