But there is still a great mystique about Chinese food, to the extent that its preparation is mostly left to the Chinese. In this book Kenneth H. C. Lo dispels that mystique and shows how some of the Oriental world's most succu lent and delicious meals can be readily prepared in any American kitchen. Nearly all Chinese dishes can be prepared from ingredients available in ordinary grocery stores and supermarkets. Furthermore, Chinese food can be cooked quickly and easily. The methods of cooking most often employed by Chinese chefs are quick, ~ stir~fry, which is almost instantaneous, and Long~simmer, which usually requires very little preparation, though the dishes must remain in the oven or steamer (or double boiler) over a period of time, thus allowing them to be served together with the instant quick~fry dishes. Kenneth Lo has selected recipes from wide~ranging regional, classical and metropolitan sources, and they are set out with great clarity and in the simplest terms. The recipes are not only easy but fun to follow, and they produce impressive results. Readers will enjoy surprising family and friends with delicacies such as Green Jade Soup, Peking Duck, Fu Yung Cauliflower, Drunken Shrimps, and many other dishes more exciting than the conventional Chinese foods familiar to Americans. Along with the recipes are attractive suggestions for menu~planning and serving.…
