Ming Tsai, Chef/Owner of the world-renowned East/West bistro, Blue Ginger, Emmy award winning host of the Food Network’s East Meets West and Ming’s Quest, and author of two cookbooks, "Blue Ginger" and "Simply Ming", invites television viewers back into his kitchen with his newest cooking show, Simply Ming, on public television. Produced by WGBH Boston and Ming East-West, LLC.,

Simply Ming centers around a varied selection of master recipes- intensely flavored sauces, pestos, salsas, dressings, rubs, and more that can be made in advance and then used during the week to prepare tasty and exciting dishes quickly- often in 30 minutes or less!

Each episode features one master recipe along with 2-3 dishes that can made with this base. Ming will visit Chinatown, local farms, and markets each week to teach viewers about Asian ingredients, cooking techniques, and to offer tips when ingredient shopping. Ming will be joined back in his kitchen with a guest chef who will use Ming’s master recipe to make a few dishes of his own- guest chefs include Jasper White, Todd English, Ken Oringer, Francois Payard, and his parents, Steve & Iris Tsai. Finally, each show will conclude with a sampling of the dishes and recommended beverage pairings, with Ming explaining what to look for when matching wines with that day’s dishes.
