The Story of Noodles

(3) K-3 Illustrated by YongSheng Xuan. After a mishap in the kitchen sends dough flying everywhere, the Kang brothers try to salvage their mother's cooking-contest entry by cutting the dough into long, thin strips. The boys' culinary creation wows the judges and the local children, who are eager to taste the mian tiao, or noodles. Bold images, reminiscent of traditional Chinese cut-paper designs, illustrate this original tale.
