More Descriptionacclaimed chefMing Tsai has long been an expert at bringing the flavors of East and West together in delicious ways. Now, he's come up
with a way to bring those complex flavors to the weeknight dinner table with an innovative shortcut technique that makes sophisticated
Asian fare as easy as 1-2-3.
Using a time-honored chefs trick of the trade, Ming shows how a single "mother recipe" can be the flavorful base for 3 entirely different
dishes, allowing the home cook to prep once and eat three times with little additional effort. For example, Ming's Hoisin-Lime Sauce can
be used to make Grilled Hoisin-Lime BBQ Chicken, Hoisin-Roasted Duck with Sweet Potatoes, or Asian Sloppy Joes, depending on the
whim of the chef. More than 2 dozen unique sauces, flavored oils, chutneys, relishes, and vinaigrettes are the starting point for a multitude
of easy one-dish wonders, most ready in less than 30 minutes and using just a handful of additional ingredients.
The sauces aren't only versatile - they make cooking an incredible East Meets West-style dinner truly easy. After making Cuny-Ginger
Oil, one only needs to stir-fry it with chicken, onions, zucchini, and chicken broth to create a flavorful dinner. Fillets of cod with a quick
breadcrumb crust, combined with Ming's Spicy Mango Salsa and cilantro, make a sophisticated meal. Most condiments can keep in the
fridge for several weeks, so they can be used for a wide variety of dishes. Other tempting recipes include Grilled Portobello Sandwich with
Roasted Pepper-Lemongrass Sambal, Grilled Asian Pesto Shrimp and Radicchio, and Marinated Tomato Salad with Sesame-Crusted Goat
Cheese.
With color photographs, cooking tips, and plenty of quick ideas, SIMPLY MING is a groundbreaking approach to cooking Ming's
exceptional food.
