  Like pasta, noodles are a versatile food. They are quick, cheap and go with savoury, spicy and even sweet sources. They come in a variety of styles - hearty wholewheat noodles, broad rice sticks, the familiar Chinese noodles and the delicate Vietnamese angel-hair vermicelli - all of which are now increasingly available in most shops. They can be served in soup - as in Grandma's American chicken noodle soup or the delicately spiced and fragrant Japanese noodle broth; fried - whether heaped with mounds of stir-fried vegetables or fiery with spices and seafood, as in Singapore fried noodles; or stuffed - Chinese won ton and Middle European stuffed noodles are equally easy and delicious to make. The Noodle Cookbook concentrates solely on noodles, so the reader no longer needs to leaf through three or four books on regional cooking to find a suitable recipe. It provides ideas for anyone on a budget, and for lovers of Eastern food who find most recipes too intimidating for beginners. And for those in a hurry, most of the recipes in this book are ready to eat in ten minutes or less.
