You do not have to train at a culinary art school to learn how to cook delicious Asian wok dishes. In fact, all you actually need to do is to gather up your ingredients, prepare them ahead, and fire up that wok so you can stir fry them to perfection.
Of course, it does take some practice to really get the kind of textures and flavors that suit your personal taste, but with these recipes you will find the learning process to be quite smooth and even enjoyable.
From these 50 wok dishes you can choose whichever dish to prepare for your meal of the day, including:
Vegetable Dishes
Maybe you are craving for Thailand’s Pahk Boong Fai Daeng, a simple spicy spinach dish. Or perhaps you are in the mood for the Asian fusion Channa Dal and Chinese Flowering Cabbage. Better yet, stir fry a variety of vegetable dishes with your wok for a full on array of sides.
Noodle and Rice Dishes
When you think wok cooking, images of succulent noodles and aromatic rice immediately enter your mind. You have so much to choose from, such as Malaysian Hot Egg Noodles, Hong Kong Lo Mein, or Chinese-Style Breakfast Fried Rice.
Fish and Seafood Dishes
If you are a fan of savory prawns, tender fish, or simmering scallops, then look no further than what is in store for you here. Try the Soba Noodles and Scallops in Dashi Broth, Halibut in Tau Cheo Sauce, or Prawn Laksa for a rich and hearty wok cooked seafood feast.
Meat Dishes
Finally, for some tender and seasoned beef, pork, and chicken, whip out your wok to stir fry Sichuan Pork, Sweet and Sour Chicken, or Thai Musaman Beef Curry. The variety will keep your taste buds from getting bored for days!
So, if you’ve got a wok in the kitchen, all you have to do is start!
I enjoyed this book. I have tried the simple ones. I love the Chicken ones. Now I will say I can't find some ingredients in my town so I couldn't make some. I have been going through this book for a while. I know most people don't rate recipes books, but I fill if authors take time to give their time to give us food they like, then I can give an honest review. Recommend to 10 yrs old and older. Enjoyed and still trying more of this book. Gina Clabo
Good book with recipes in it. I love this kinds of food. Most of the recipes are abit more harder for me to make as in the book because so many of the ingredients I dont have and would have to purchase to make certain recipes. If it turns out I dont care for the recipe I would have spend money on items needed and only use abit of the product. I did keep some of the easier recipes . Thanks
You had some good recipes in this book. Several of them I had to look for for a long time. Worked in a Chinese restaurant for 10 years but never got some of the names of some of the things they would eat when we got off. Thank you
