  Red curry with red sweet peppers, snow peas and tofu Other, and more, vegetables; yellow chile paste when I found out too late that the red had gone missing in my refrigerator; excellent template: delicious!

  Pickled cabbage I've been looking for a recipe for pickled cabbage that I've had in 2 restaurants, one Chinese, one Taiwanese. This is the closest yet, and very good. Some chiles in the pickling brine would be even closed, and why not?

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Red curry with winter vegetables and cashews

  • lean1 on April 01, 2020

    I like this recipe. I used carrots and sweet potatoes and a small amount of curry paste.

• Red curry with eggplant and sweet peppers

  • anu_luke20 on April 25, 2026

    This recipe needed to be tweaked quite a bit. I sauteed onion, ginger and garlic as well as the eggplant and bell pepper. I removed these from the pan and then followed the recipe as directed. I added a little less water/ broth and it was still very watery and simmered for much longer than in recipe. Also added a 1/3 more curry paste and fresh squeezed lime juice as it was somewhat bland. Finally, also added air fried tofu and garnished with chopped cilantro and green onion. With all these modifications, it was tasty.

• Oyster mushrooms with red sweet peppers and ginger

  • anu_luke20 on May 02, 2026

    4.5. Made with king oyster mushroom, which obviously was a big difference. Also, used sauce recipe attached. Was delicious, though would make with regular mushrooms next time.

• Mushrooms and tofu with fresh mint

  • jenburkholder on May 25, 2024

    This was good, quite mild. Not sure I'd repeat but I enjoyed eating it well enough.

• Chinese cabbage with black pepper and garlic

  • captious on October 03, 2013

    This recipe turned out well. It’s simple but made a tasty, warming side dish alongside scrambled eggs.

• Five-spice hard-boiled eggs in sweet soy stew

  • wester on December 19, 2011

    This was good and easy to make. Fragrant but not hot at all. However, the serving size was completely off. The recipe as given feeds 3 (with rice and a salad), not 6 and certainly not 8.

• Rice noodles with eggs, broccoli, and dark sweet soy sauce

  • hmckimmey on February 16, 2026

    used chinese broccoli instead of broccoli and dark soy sauce with brown sugar, this is delicious
