Review

On his way home from work one night in the war-ravaged city of Osaka, Japan, Momofuku Ando encounters a long line of poor, starving people each waiting for a small portion of soup. Deciding world peace is only attainable when the hungry are fed, Momofuku sets out to create a tasty, nutritious, and affordable soup that can be made in minutes. Vibrantly illustrated, Andrea Wang’s lighthearted retelling of the story behind instant ramen will demonstrate to children that ingenuity, hard work, and perseverance can make a difference in the world.
