91. Noodle Bible by Jacki Passmore


BOOK REVIEW: Noodle Bible by Jacki Passmore

Being Asians, noodles happen to be everybody’s favourite food! From kids to the elderly, we are used to noodles making their appearance on the dinner table, in both instant and fresh forms. With the variety of instant noodles in the market, Maggi to IbuMie, as well as freshly handmade noodles in artisan shops, noodles are the go-to carbs when you just want a no-rice day.

A bowl of noodles is the ultimate convenience food. Noodles are inexpensive, easy to cook, remarkably versatile – and they’re healthy too. For thousands of years a staple of nearly every Asian culture, they are now an essential ingredient in most western kitchens.

This book is packed with recipes – fragrant broths, hearty hawker-style dishes, one-pot meals and cool favourites such as chilled soba noodles. As well, there are tips on cooking and storing noodles, preparing basic stocks and sauces, and ideas for elegant concoctions such as noodle baskets for special occasions.


Since little, I have LOVED my noodles and am still LOVING them, be they instant or fresh. It’s just the feeling when the smooth noodles slide into your mouth when you slurp them and the lip-smacking sounds that follow. It is quite a sensation and a pleasure when eating noodles. If you want to feel that euphoric noodle addiction I have, grab this book and head over to the stove for noodle dishes galore!
