Back from The Story of Chopsticks, the Kang brothers are in for another culinary misadventure in The Story of Noodles by Ying Chang Compestine, illus. by YongSheng Xuan. When they fool around instead of following their mother's instructions on making dumplings for the village cooking contest, they inadvertently invent a new food. A recipe for sauce and author's note on the history of noodles close the volume.
