Customer Reviews

This is my favorite cookbook

We moved away from NY and my favorite noodle place to the midwest (no noodle place). I saw this cookbook and immediately had pangs of nostalgia. I got it more for sentimental reasons than in hopes that I would use it much. I sat down to read it and learned a ton about noodles, and realized that I could do this. I use is all the time. Great, easy recipes. I read a review that complained about the pad thai, but I love it. Every pad thai is different; has its own personality. This one may not be the one you are used to, but it has a ton of character. I love visiting my (one) local asian store to stock up on noodles and ingredients. Get this book! I wow my dinner guests and always get requests for recipes. A great gift.

A great, quick-cook cookbook

It's not the exact thing you'd get in an Asian restaurant, but who cares? These are great, very simple recipes. You'll need some of the Asian cooking basics (fish sauce, chili sauce, rice vinegar) and occasionally a few more exotic things, but, if you're cooking Asian, you've probably got most of these things in your cupboard already.My wife and I absolutely love Asian cooking but we both work full-time, so it's sometime hard to find the time to cook good stuff. This cookbook is full of wonderful, flavorful recipes that don't take too long to make.The sauces section in the back of the book is more than worth having this. We make the sauces, keep them in the fridge, and just put them over rice for lunch or dinner. Great, great stuff.

Healthy, healthy, fast, fast, fast!

The recipes in this book are 'tres facile' (VERY EASY) and very fast! My experience with these recipes is that it takes more time to read the recipe than prepare it! Excellent for working parents on the go. The recipes are healthy and delicious. I gave a book to each of my friends who enjoy cooking (and eating).

excellent, excellent, excellent!

This is the only cookbook I own in which none of the recipes have disappointed me! Every recipe is delicious, easy to prepare and the book itself is presented beautifully. If you love noodles, this book is an absolute must buy!

Yum!!

I'll bet these noodle dishes would make good leftovers, but my husband and I have never failed to clean our plates when we've made a meal from Asian Noodles. The recipes are relatively simple, yet full of flavor and surprisingly diverse for a cookbook based around a single ingredient. This book in now a weeknight favorite or anytime when we want a good dinner but don't have a lot of time to cook.
