An Unusual Recipe for Handmade Noodles from 1969 | From Book to Cook #04

Описание: In 1967, the Singapore government launched the Eat More Wheat campaign to reduce the import of rice, because it was expensive compared to wheat. Award-winning cookbook author and culinary instructor Christopher Tan tells us about the campaign and makes a unique milk noodle soup dish from a 1969 cookbook, which was published in conjunction with the campaign.

This video is part of "From Book to Cook", a brand new cooking show on Singapore’s old recipes found in the National Library collection. In every episode, our librarian-host Paddy Ong and a guest cook will make a dish or two from a vintage recipe. What happens when you put a librarian in the kitchen, armed with traditional kitchen tools and recipes from the past? Catch the series to find out!
