Delivers! Feb 04, 2010
By Peter Lawrence Canning
I have only made three of the dishes from this book so far, but each one I've cooked would have easily been worth its price. I whipped up a batch of "Vietnamese Quick Chicken Pho" and enjoyed this light and perky version of a classic Vietnam favorite. No, it was not the interstellar barritone beef broth version you might get from a place which specializes in simmering it for many hours, but it went together fast and had a bright balanced flavor with some deep notes which belied its speedy construction. I next woked up a batch of "Ants Climbing A Tree"-the bean thread staple from China with bits of pork which evoke its unusual name. I don't care what it's called; I call it tasty. Finally, I built the "Cold Sesame Noodles, Sichuan Style" which produced a deep nutty flavor rolling over my taste buds hinting ginger, scallion, garlic, pepper heat, and creaminess from the tahini-fascinating. As a home cook, I see many recipes to be a relationship where time and effort produce better taste. I am amazed at the profoundly delicious tastes of these dishes for such little time and effort. I've only actually tried three so far, but if this keeps up, I'm in trouble-the good kind!

Easy Asian Noodles Jun 11, 2010
By Carolyn K. Calloway
"Carol Calloway"
There are so many recipes in here that it is impossible to pick a favorite. I am working on that but each recipe that I try, I change my favorite. This is an excellent introduction to Asian noodle making and easy to understand. Everyone should try this one.

 Depends upon what you mean by easy! Mar 28, 2011
By Ms Winston
I was disappointed to see that most of the dishes require many more ingredients than my modest pantry currently holds -- several called for more than 20 ingredients, which is not my idea of "easy" cooking. However, there are many positive aspects of this book, including detailed information on the types of Asian noodles, cooking tools, and ingredients. There are many beautiful full-page color photographs so you can see what the dish should look like when served. In my opinion this is a book more for an intermediate home cook who may already have many of the ingredients and tools, rather than for a beginner in either cooking in general or preparing Asian food.
