How can I more stress you about the wonderful property of a bowl full of steaming noodles? If you are reading this blog you are probably from some foreign (and civilized, food wise at laest) country where noodles are a daily dish.
But in Italy are still some kind of rare. Sure, we have our own version of the Asian noodles, non the less to say, Italian noodles. But sometimes I feel the urge of a nice bowl of Asian noodles, sweet & sour, spicy, crunchy Asian noodles…
