Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Sichuan dry-fried long beans

    • Jiggalicious on September 12, 2012

      I really enjoy this recipe. The texture of the long beans and the spiciness of the pork are a great combination. A simple meal that I've made rather frequently and have had consistent results.

Now, in one classic volume, acclaimed chef and restaurateur Bruce Cost removes the home cook's frustration with this in-depth, illustrated guide to the wide variety of ingredients used in Asian cooking.

From fresh herbs and Asian oils to exotic types of seafood and specialty meat cuts -- and over 100 creative and inspiring recipes -- no item in the repertoire of the Asian cook is missed. With the help of Asian Ingredients, Thai Green Curry Noodles with Beef and Chinese Chives, Sichuan Sesame-Chicken Salad with Garlic and White Pepper, and Shrimp in Ginger-Tamarind Sauce will soon be available in a home near you!
