Enjoy the second adventure in this colorful series of how the Kang brothers discovered some of China's most amazing inventions! This revised edition includes a new bilingual translation in simplified Chinese.

The Kang boys love having food fights. One day they have to help their mother make her famous dumplings. It's time for the annual cooking contest, and Mama Kang is expected to win. But it doesn't take the boys long before they begin playing with the dough, and soon... oh no! Now there's no time to prepare the dumplings. The only thing the Kangs can bring to the contest are "mian tiao," or flour strips.

Will the boys' new dish wow the judges? Or will the Kang boys find themselves in hot water?
