Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Stir-fried rice cakes with zucchini, mushrooms, and XO sauce

    • Yildiz100 on May 15, 2019

      Total fail for me-calls for way too much veg to fit into my largest pan so everything was flabby with veg coated in rice starch. Rice cakes were inedibly soggy. My pan was very large-anything larger than mine would not heat evenly on home stoves so the only thing I can think is that this was developed for a restaurant kitchen. Note: I used store bought XO sauce, so can't assess quality of the XO recipe.

  • Yuzu kosho zucchini noodles with pan-fried tofu

    • mjes on September 02, 2021

      Yes, I have been a yuzu kosho fan for several years -- my pantry always has both the red and the green variety in stock. Here the yuzu kosho is combined with tahini to make a sauce for the zucchini and tofu. The resulting dish has a distinctly Japanese flavor but has a more melded flavor than many Japanese vegetable recipes. I liked this.

  • Sweet chili lime chicken

    • sgmensing on January 22, 2021

      Doubled the sauce and added bok choy...served over rice.

      Doubled the sauce and added bok choy at the end. Served over rice. PF Changs...eat your heart out!

  • Vegan nam prik pao

    • christineakiyoshi on March 29, 2020

      I made a Tom Kha Ramen soup from another cookbook and wanted to spice it up a bit. Made this recipe and WOW does it have a kick! We added a tablespoon of this to the soup and for the ones that were brave, just a little more. It was perfect! Does make a huge batch, so you may want to halve the recipe if you have a small household.

  • Mushroom and tofu udon with yuzu kosho

    • christineakiyoshi on September 04, 2020

      This is a tasty dish with a citrus punch. Would use less udon in the future because it is a heavy noodle and makes the water pretty starchy. Will make again.

  • Mapo tofu ramen (Mabo ramen)

    • christineakiyoshi on October 13, 2020

      We are vegan so substituted tofu for pork. We cook it in a way that it resembles the texture of ground meat. Also used veggie broth instead of chicken broth. This is very good. The broth is pretty thick, so if you want a thinner broth, reduce cornstarch.

  • Hot and sour cabbage

    • SKidd on November 13, 2023

      Fast, pretty easy and tasty as a side dish.

  • Sichuan-style peanut noodles

    • SKidd on October 12, 2022

      Good recipe and you can sub veggies you have on hand. I usually cut back the sauce on this, it makes more than you need (but then again, the sauce is delicious and can be used on other things!

  • Thai zucchini, yellow squash, and eggplant curry

    • SKidd on July 30, 2023

      Fast and uses up a lot of garden veggies. Very flexible, I added some green beans.
