Noodler Puts Three Million Noodle Soup Recipes and Tips on Your IPhone
iOS: If you love noodle soup, you’ll love Noodler, the “noodle soup oracle.” This app makes sure you never run out of idea for your next bowl of ramen or other noodle soups.
Check with the oracle and you will receive a random bowl. You can update for a different offer, or view step-by-step instructions. The app also offers basic noodle soup making tips and covers a wide range of noodle types including buckwheat soba, egg noodles, glass noodles, and instant ramen.
While you can’t find a specific noodle soup, browse all 3 million choices, or find bowls by type of noodle, you can add the recipes to your favorites. The randomness of the soup offerings is part of the app’s charm.
The app was created by Michelle Hums, who trained at the French Culinary Institute but grew up on her Cantonese mother’s noodle soups.
Update: I previously noted that Noodler is not free (iTunes had $ 0.99 at the time of this writing), but Hume told me that it is currently free to download.
