If you've ever cooked pasta, you can make impressive (yet amazingly easy) Asian noodle dishes--with Asian food expert Helen Chen as your guide
"I've always joked with my Italian-American sister-in-law, Barbara, that pasta originally came from China to Italy via Marco Polo. Apocryphal or not, noodles have been and remain a major staple in Asian cuisine. Whether they're stir-fried, boiled, pan-fried, served in soup, or tossed with a sauce, they can be enjoyed anytime throughout the day--breakfast, lunch, light dinner, or midnight snack. For most Asians, noodles conjure up thoughts of home, comfort, and good food."--Helen Chen
