We are lucky because both of our Moms are great cooks. They are the kind of moms who cook food that friends and relatives pull you aside later to say, “Your Mom’s food is sooooooo good!”
Every family has some cherished recipes that get handed down from one generation to the next, and we want our family recipes and food stories to be remembered. That is why we have collected some of our favorite dishes into Noodle Taco. It’s our way of sharing what we learned from our mothers to future generations.
The recipes might change over time as the availability of ingredients change, but the feeling of eating them persists. The love that is felt through eating a favorite homecooked meal stays with you.
In the end, Noodle Taco is a love letter to our mothers that we are now passing on to you, dear reader. We hope that reading our stories and recipes will inspire you to spread homecooked love to your loved ones for years to come.
NOODLE TACO is a Taiwanese-Mexican-American culinary adventure that shares the cherished family recipes and stories passed down from our mothers to the next generation. It is a valentine to our mothers and all the good food they nourished us with over the years. We wanted to spread the love that they embedded in these delicious dishes to people all over the world. That is why we wrote it. Includes recipes for wontons, pork chop noodles, flour tortillas, tamales, and more.
