Many of the cuisines of China, South-east Asia and India are characterized by two things: cooking in a wok - or its close cousin the karahi or Balti pan - and the use of a harmonious balance of fresh ingredients, spices and other exotic flavourings. Newcomers to cooking in a wok will find it does not take long to master the art - whether stir-frying, braising, deep-frying or steaming - and will be amazed at how easy and quick it is. Hot Wok Cookbook is a superb collection of fast-cooking recipes that can be served still sizzling from the pan. Five chapters cover every kind of meal and occasion: Starters and Snacks, Fish and Shellfish Dishes, Meat and Poultry Dishes, Vegetables and Vegetarian Dishes, and Noodle and Rice Dishes.
