This book is a lively collection of 100 main-dish recipes from all over Asia--from China and Japan to Indonesia and Thailand and to lesser known regions--and features either traditional recipes with a twist, or new inventions with authentic Asian taste. The recipes are all designed to work in American kitchens with minimum preparation. Exciting meals can be made in minutes, providing a welcome alternative to the usual fare. In order to simplify and speed up the cooking process, the book features an introductory section on how to stock your pantry with Asian condiments, information on techniques and equipment, and each recipe will be accompanied by serving suggestions, as well as ideas for dressing them up for company.
