Favorite Recipes

I know how hard it is to navigate through a cookbook and I’m not surprised that many friends have asked me for my favorite recipes from the book. All the recipes play an important part in bringing the cookbook together as a whole but there are some dishes that have become regulars in my cooking repertoire.

So if you don’t know where to start, here’s a list of recipes I like aside from the usual popular suspects. I’ve also asterisked the super easy recipes for the Asian cooking novice who is just getting their feet wet.
