Anyone who has
travelled in Asia knows that, no matter the country, the
noodle reigns supreme: noodle dishes are eaten as full meals,
light meals, or snacks at all hours of the day and night, and
can be found from the temples of haute cuisine to the most
informal of street vendors. In Noodles Every Day,
Asian cuisine expert Corinne Trang presents more than 70
tempting, easy-to-prepare noodle recipes that bring the wide
range of the delicious flavors of Asia to the discerning home
cook.
You'll discover
such great delights as the Vietnamese rice noodle soup known
as pho, Thailand’s mee krob (a sweet and crispy
fried rice vermicelli) and pad Thai, Korean stir-fried
cellophane noodles, known as chap chae, and Japanese
soba. Of course, the noodles don't stop there. Try
Udon with Braised Sweet and Spicy Beef Short Ribs or
Egg Noodles with Wonton Soup and Asian Greens. Soba
with Grilled Asparagus and Sea Scallops with Sweet Miso Sauce
is a wonderful summer treat. Stir-Fried Rice Sticks with
Tamarind Sauce, Dried Shrimp, Tofu, Sprouts, and Eggs are
deliciously tangy. Spicy Sweet Potato Noodles and Kimchi
Stew is a Korean favorite. And nothing is more fun than
some Fried Crab and Pork Spring Rolls.
Chapters are
organized by type of noodle: Wheat, Egg, Buckwheat, Rice, and
Cellophane, followed by a section on Buns, Dumplings, and
Spring Rolls. Noodles Every Day includes details on
basic Asian ingredients plus information on simple equipment
you need and easy techniques to master to ensure each dish
comes out perfect every time. Mail Order Sources even help
cooks find unusual ingredients, but the emphasis here is on
simple – if you can cook spaghetti, you can cook any of the
noodle dishes in Noodles Every Day!
