Notes about Recipes in this book

• Dandan noodles

  • helskitchenvt on July 06, 2016

    Tastier than any dandan noodles I've had before or since (granted, I've never actually visited any part of Asia) - but you really do need to get all the particular ingredients, not just substitute whatever sort-of-close items might be in your cupboard. On the other hand, I've now started stocking basic Chinese ingredients and my cooking is much better for it. Add shrimp on top for a particularly good dish.

• Issan-style pork (Laab)

    This is probably due to the quality of my ingredients but the paste could have used a little more oomph and the stringy lemongrass pieces were a little yucky. That said, with a few adjustments, the flavors could be good.

• Clay pot mushroom risotto

  • meggan on January 27, 2022

    This was really good with matta Rosa rice.

• Indonesian fried rice (Nasi goreng)

  • meggan on May 04, 2016

    Good but I thought the rice/sauce ratio was a little off. Next time I will use 4 or 4.5 cups of rice.
