My Asian Kitchen

My Asian Kitchen (Affiliate Link) is a new cookbook by Jennifer Joyce. This is the third stop on our Global Culinary Cookbook Tour. Our first stop was Lands of the Curry Leaf which was followed by a visit to Hong Kong Food City.

Does this sound familiar? Growing up in America, Jennifer’s Asian food experiences were limited to Americanized Chinese food items such as chop suey and egg rolls. It wasn’t until she began traveling to Asia that she learned of the amazing deliciousness of authentic Asian cooking. There she became acquainted with dishes like khao soi gai, karaage fried chicken, pho, potsticker dumplings and ramen. She not only fell for the hot-salty-sour punch but for the many textures. At each meal it was hard to decide between blistering curries and pillow soft bao so she kept coming back for more.

Vibrant food with bold clean tastes

And when she returned home she tried her hand at conquering her favorites by balancing flavors and learning new techniques. My Asian Kitchen is the result of many years of experiments and delicious discoveries. It doesn’t take a magician to create these dishes, just the solid guidance of someone like Jennifer Joyce and the right ingredients.

Health Benefits

We love Asian food because it is mouthwateringly delicious, but there are also real health benefits as well. All of the fermented ingredients like miso, soy, bean paste, black vinegar, fish sauce and gochujang, are made by fermenting rice, anchovies or soya beans. Not only do these key components intensify flavor but at the same time they strengthen our immune and digestive systems. Fermentations and umami lie at the heart of Asian cooking and are responsible for its addictiveness.

A modern Asian cookbook 

Now, Jennifer Joyce shows how easy it is to create zingy, fresh, healthy Asian flavours at home. From grilled sticky skewers and steak tacos, salads, rice bowls and dumplings, to prawn katsu bao and miso-glazed ribs, My Asian Kitchen is an adventure in the dazzling diversity of modern Asian cooking.

Jennifer’s exquisitely simple recipes for bao buns, pho, sushi, poke bowls, gyoza, ramen and kimchi give you a  no-nonsense explanation of ingredients, hand-drawn diagrams and beautiful photographs are all you need to start cooking in your very own Asian Kitchen.
