Description

Everyone knows that a wok is perfect for tossing together a quick stir-fry, but the humble wok is capable of much more. Curries, soups, dumplings, steamed fish and deep-fried morsels are just some of the dishes in The Essential Wok Cookbook as well as stir-fries. Many of the traditional wok favourites from Southeast Asia and China are here, right next to traditional Indian and Japanese recipes that have been cleverly adapted to the wok. With a glossary of quintessential ingredients, information on tools and methods as well as special spreads on curry pastes, flavoured rice, accompaniments and yum cha, this book will inspire anyone to get the wok out of the cupboard and start cooking.
