Description:
When a New Yorker writes an Asian cookbook, the result is likely to be highly individualistic. In Pan-Asian Express, Barbara Witt clearly expresses personal preferences and offers advice, along with more than 100 recipes. In many instances, both differ markedly from those of other well-respected cooks, particularly where she appears to recommend convenience foods like frozen dumplings. Witt also suggests using liquid smoke in Beef Chow Fun when home cooks singe the bean sprouts in a hot dry wok to duplicate the effect restaurants get from using extra high heat. Pan-Asian Express is a handy, modestly-priced cookbook offering comfortable, middle-of-the-road fusion dishes like Sake-To-Me Chicken Salad and Pacific Steak and Fries. Without using illustrations, Witt gives outstanding directions for making Chinese won tons and Philippine lumpia. There are also useful sections on stir-frying and crisp-frying techniques. Recipes avoid ingredients that may be difficult to obtain, such as lemongrass, dried shrimp, and holy basil.
