Easy to make wok recipes. The dishes are not as spicy as you might think, but made 3 or 4 and half turned out good.Clear concise directions.

I have a wok and every now and then I take it out of the cupboard and make a stir fry. I got this book out of the library for more wok recipes. I'm a vegetarian, so I'm not interested in any of the meat recipes. But there are quite a few soup and vegetable recipes in the cookbook which make it worthwhile to try. I haven't made any yet.

Wok cookbook, with pretty simple recipes, and a lot of different types of recipes, not just stir fry but also some soups, and noodle recipes. Haven't made anything yet, but it looks good, nice pictures
