The 5-Minute Japanese Noodles Cookbook

Calling all noodle lovers! Learn to prepare a delicious and satisfying bowl of noodles in less time than it takes to order takeout!

Etsuko Ichise is a woman on a mission—her motto is: Delicious and easy-to-prepare homestyle cooking! She shows you how to make simple, homestyle noodles that are incredibly flavourful and healthy, yet take only minutes to prepare. Her recipes are light, tasty, and healthy thanks to the use of fresh seasonal ingredients purchased at your local supermarket.

And, you will never have to make the same noodles twice! Her mix-and-match ingredients and toppings use chicken, beef, pork, bacon, tofu, eggs, and vegetables—whatever you have in the fridge. Each recipe has multiple variations and extra toppings for flavour and complexity—green onions, grated cheese, corn kernels, roasted peanuts, shredded nori, grated ginger, toasted sesame, bean sprouts, or chilli oil... to name just a few!
