foremost interpreter of East-West cuisine in America today," and the
appreciative diners at Blue Ginger, Ming's celebrated restaurant in Wellesley,
Massachusetts, and fans of his top-rated Food Network show, East Meets West with
Ming Tsai, agree. Now, in his first cookbook, Ming shares the technique and
philosophy behind his exciting cross-cultural fare.
The key, Ming explains, is retaining a healthy respect for the traditions of
each cuisine so that diverse elements can be combined in a harmonious way. His
trademark Foie Gras and Morel Shu Mai, for example, elevates a traditional yet
simple Asian preparation with a luxuriously sophisticated Western ingredient and
transforms a humble dish into truly elegant fare. Prosciutto and Asian Pear Maki
is a playful reinterpretation of a Japanese favorite, while Classic Roast
Chicken with Sticky Rice Stuffing gives the holiday staple a savory new spin.
The result is food that's inventive yet not trendy, complex in flavor but
surprisingly easy to prepare.
In chapters devoted to Soups; Dim Sum (irresistible starters and bite-sized
party fare); Rice and Noodles; Seafood; Birds; Meat; Sides; Oils, Dips and
Seasonings; and Desserts, Ming proves again and again how delicious the coming
together of East and West can be: Gingered Beef with Leeks and Asparagus, Hoisin-Marinated
Chicken with Napa Slaw, Asian Gazpacho with Cilantro-Jicama Cream, and
Wok-Flashed Salt and Pepper Shrimp are all quick and straightforward
preparations that provide big flavors in every bite. And when it's time to pull
out allthe stops, a chapter dedicated to Over-the-Top recipes will guide home
cooks through an array of showstopping dishes that dazzle with innovative
techniques and presentations. Beverage suggestions accompany each recipe to
complete the dining experience.
Filled with Ming's tips for working with unfamiliar ingredients and
preparations, Blue Ginger is an outstanding introduction to the pleasures of
East-West cooking. |
