Foolproof Asian Cookery

Step by step to everyone's favorite recipes from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.

In this book, Ken Mom expands our culinary horizons with the food of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. The increasing popularity of Indian, Chinese and Thai food has led many of us to explore further afield, and here Ken brings us 40 simple, healthy and delicious dishes from the Far East.

The cuisines of these countries are characterized by a variety of flavours and cooking techniques: the fresh, sweet and sour flavours of Indonesia [Hot and Sour Indonesian Prawns); the fragrant curries (Malaysian Fish Curry) and spicy grilled meats of Malaysia; the fast fusion food of Singapore (Fragrant Singapore-style Prawn Curry); and the delicate and aromatic cooking of Vietnam (Fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls). From curries to stir-fries to satays, there is something for every occasion, whether you're cooking for a group of friends (Singapore Classic Laksa), or want a tasty one-pot vegetarian meal (Malaysian Curry Mee).

All the recipes use readily available ingredients and have clear, step-by-step instructions, complete with colour photographs to illustrate every stage. With a menu planner and a guide to essential ingredients and equipment, this book will set you on your own exciting culinary adventure.
