Notes about Recipes in this book

Stir-fried green chicken curry (Pat kiowan gai)
- lucywayman on July 31, 2011
  
  This is delicious and quick to make, especially if you make the curry paste in advance.
Lamb biryani
- Aly2503 on September 03, 2011
  
  Easy to cook dish that teenagers and adults all enjoy. Goes well with the Katchkamba Salad that Rick recommends. I substitute more sultanas for the dried plums that I have never been able to find.
Chicken salad with Chinese cabbage, bean sprouts and Vietnamese mint (Ga xe phay)
- kmattingly on June 12, 2012
  
  I've also made this without the chicken and it is still delicous
Stir-fried minced beef with lemongrass, chilli and roasted rice rolled in lettuce leaves (Laab neua)
- kmattingly on June 12, 2012
  
  A favourite in our household, especially with the kids. A bit messy but who cares.
Hainanese chicken rice (Khao man gai)
- kmattingly on June 12, 2012
  
  A beautiful lightly flavoured chicken dish. The broth served on the side so little amounts can be added to the rice and chicken throughout the meal is a lovely touch. My daughter's ask for this dish very regularly.
Duck braised in spiced orange juice (Vit nau cam)
- FJT on June 16, 2012
  
  Easy to make with no particularly exotic ingredients. The spiced orange sauce is beautiful and the duck so soft. Will definitely be making this again and again.
Slow-cooked pork with ginger, chilli and sweet soy sauce (Babi kecap)
- FJT on July 01, 2012
  
  Another very simple but fantastic dish. Packed with flavour. This is going to become a staple dish in this house!
Amy's spicy nyonya chicken
- FJT on September 02, 2012
  
  So easy to make and packed full of flavour. I couldn't get dried kashmiri chillies so I used dried jalapeño flakes instead - worked well. My spice paste was quite fiery, so I added some coconut milk at the end as suggested in the intro to the recipe. Will definitely make this again!

Publishers Text

"Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey" is an ambitious journey, avoiding the beaten track and tourist hot-spots, in search of the authentic food of Southeast Asia. In this accompanying book to the major BBC series, Rick shares his favourite recipes and some well-known classic dishes inspired by the fragrant ingredients and recipes he sampled from local chefs, family-run restaurants, street vendors and market stalls. In Cambodia, Rick learns how to make a national dish Samlor kako, a stir-fried pork and vegetable soup flavoured with an array of spices; in Vietnam he is shown the best recipe for Pho Bo, a Vietnamese beef noodle soup; and, in Thailand, Rick tries Geng Leuong Sai Gung Lai Sai Bua, a yellow curry made with prawns and lotus shoots that you won't find outside the country. "Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey" includes over 150 new recipes from Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Bali, each complemented by Rick's colourful anecdotes from the trip and beautiful on-location photography. This is a visually-stunning culinary tribute to Southeast Asian cooking that evokes the magic of bustling markets, the sizzle of oil and the aromatic steam from a Far Eastern kitchen.
