Create and savor the classic Asian dishes you know and love, discover new favorites, and have fun with modern takes full of Asian flavor.
Encompassing the food traditions of Japan, China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea, and Malaysia, My Asian Kitchen equips you with the cooking knowledge you need to push your understanding of flavors and master your favorite dishes at home.

- Comforting soups, including Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup and Kimchi and Tofu Soup
- Bao, dumplings, and wontons, including Braised Pork Belly with Spring Onions and Crushed Peanuts Bao, Chicken and Shiitake Gyoza with Miso Lemon Dipping Sauce, and Thai Shumai Dumplings
- Healthy salads such as Crispy Spiced Tofu Veggie Bowl with Ponzu Dressing and Apple Salad with Miso Maple Dressing
- Asian-inspired desserts, including Devil's Food Cake with Matcha Icing and Chili Chocolate Nut Bark with Coconut
- And more!
Recipes are simplified, with shortcuts where appropriate, but not at the expense of sacrificing flavor. There are even drawings and guides throughout the book to help you tackle difficult tasks such as folding your own dumplings, achieving the perfect grill technique, or personalizing your ramen and donabe hot pots. From Grilled Eggplant with Sweet Soy and Lime Dressing and Pork Skewers with Palm Sugar Glaze and Jaew to Adobo Chicken and Miso-Glazed Ribs, My Asian Kitchen is an adventure in the dazzling diversity of modern Asian cooking.
