Oven Temperature Guide
When using convection ovens, the outside
of the food cooks more quickly than the
inside. As a general rule, set the oven
temperature 15-20 °C lower than the
temperature indicated in the recipe,
or refer to your oven manual.

N
oodle and snack dishes have long been a part of Asia’s culinary
landscape. Stroll down any street in Asia and you’ll almost certainly
find food stands, restaurants and food courts packed with cus-
tomers feasting not just on main courses but also on an almost infinite variety
of other mouthwatering noodle and snack dishes.
Noodles and snacks are an important part of Asian homestyle cooking also,
because these dishes are easy to prepare and fast to cook, and are perfect for a
quick meal or for entertaining guests. They give the host a chance to offer hos-
pitality with a range of delicious treats that, while not intended as a full meal,
are substantial dishes in their own right, as the collection of noodle and snack
recipes in this book will show.
Noodles play a pivotal role as a food in almost every Asian cuisine and
each one has its own takes on the noodle theme. Although rice is the mainstay
at the Asian table, rice flour, egg or mung bean noodles are just as widespread.
Asian cooks have created numerous delectable dishes—from fast stir-fries and
healthful salads to invigorating soups and delicate spring rolls or satays.
The noodle recipes in this book are filling, yet easy to prepare, and the sheer
variety of dishes on offer mean that you’ll be spoilt for choice. Choose from
recipes which use a variety of noodles—rice sticks, bean thread and wheat—
and are prepared in different ways. Soups, sauces and stir-fries—with an array
of main ingredients that include beef, chicken and shrimp to name just a few,
offer a delightful array of tastes ranging from sweet to tangy to spicy.
Asian snacks however, are not limited to just noodles, as anyone familiar
with Asian food will tell you. The snack recipes in this volume can be served to
complement noodle dishes or other main courses. Choose from delicious
wraps and rolls, delectable fritters, scrumptious breads and grilled meats with
their accompanying dipping sauces.
Whether you’re entertaining friends, simply want a quick meal at home or
even looking to pack a picnic basket, you can’t go wrong with this delicious
selection of noodle and snack recipes!
