Now, in his first cookbook, Ming shares the technique and philosophy behind his exciting cross-cultural fare. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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 all the 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFilled with Ming's tips for working with unfamiliar ingredients and preparations, Blue Ginger is an outstanding introduction to the pleasures of East-West cooking.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Clarkson Potter","offers":[{"title":"Blue Ginger: East Meets West Cooking with Ming Tsai | Ming Tsai | Hardcover | 9780609605301 | Used: Like New | Cooking 1701529 (temp: 25)","offer_id":48880876781720,"sku":"1701529","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61Qh6mC30AL.jpg?v=1776377353","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/blue-ginger-east-meets-west-cooking-with-ming-tsai","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
