[.ca] Everyday Asian: From Soups to Noodles, from Barbecues to ... (ISBN 0060084669)

Quick and easy asian meals are delicious:
If you lived in NY about 10 years ago and spent time in the West Village, you probably ate at Marnie's Noodle Shop and loved it, watching them cook simple, brightly flavored noodle dishes behind the small counter, and then, best of all, eating the yummy results. Now I know these dishes are even easier to recreate at home than I suspected. Using minimal ingredients for maximum flavor, I was amazed at how easy and tasty these recipes are. It's not "classical" asian cooking--ingredients and techniques are simplified, but to great effect. I've tried some dumbed-down asian recipes and been very disappointed, but not here. After the first meal I cooked from the book, Korean Beef Noodles, my husband started jotting down a business plan for opening a noodle shop. A great Sesame Noodle recipe is included, along with soups, salads, appetizers, and entrees like Chinese Red Cooked Beef Stew and Salmon with Tomato and Garam Masala. I've recommended this book to my brother in law, a great cook, and he is in love with it. I just cooked the Burmese Chicken Curry tonight and it was amazing. Thank you, Marnie!!!!
