In this adorable picture book for fans of Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao
and Bilal Cooks Daal, Hiro aspires to make a bowl of ramen as
delicious as his dad's--and runs into some surprises on his first
attempt!
Hiro loves ramen. Every Sunday, Hiro's dad makes delicious, perfect
ramen for dinner, using a recipe passed down from his dad. There's nori
seaweed, briny like the ocean; nitamago egg, the yolk golden like the
sun; and chashu pork so tender, it melts in your mouth. Yum!
Hiro's dream is to make his own perfect bowl, and he's sure he can do it
after watching his dad and taking notes. But when he gets started,
things don't go according to plan. The seaweed crumbles! The eggs slip
through his fingers! The pork falls apart! Hiro is worried he'll never
be a real ramen chef...but thanks to his father's wise advice and his
own creativity, Hiro discovers that every person's perfect bowl of ramen
is unique.
