Ching's Chinese Food Made Easy: 100 Simple, Healthy Recipes from Easy-to-find Ingredients
With her BBC TV series, Chinese Food Made Easy, Ching reinvented Chinese cooking. This runaway bestselling cookbook is packed with her most popular recipes from the show as well as a wide range of simple, healthy and utterly delicious recipes that she cooks for her family and friends. Learn to cook those firm favourites from Chinese take-away menus, such as Singapore-style Noodles and Chicken and Cashew Nut Stir-fry, as well as authentic Chinese recipes with fresh modern twists, such as Kung Po Prawns or Sichuan Crispy Chilli Pork.
Chinese Food Made Easy begins with some of the most familiar dishes from a Chinese takeaway menu - Sweet & Sour Prawns, Chicken with Cashew Nuts, Chop Suey and Cantonese Vegetable Stir Fry, each with Ching's special and imaginative twist. Later we explore spicy Szechuan food: Noodles, Dumplings and Dim sum; Seafood; Fast Food; Desserts and finally Celebratory Food, where Ching presents a complete banquet of dishes to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
Anyone who has read Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu will find much that is familiar in this book. They will also find much that is strikingly new and different, so much so that one doubts very much that this book could have been written by Lao Tzu (always supposing that such a person actually existed).
