Simply Ming: Easy Techniques for East-Meets-West Meals

Description

As the chef and owner of the acclaimed Blue Ginger restaurant in Wellesley,
Massachusetts, and an Emmy award-winning television personality, Ming Tsai has
become the standard-bearer of East-West cuisine, the innovative blending of
Eastern flavors and techniques with Western ingredients and presentations.
Now, in Simply Ming, he presents a breakthrough technique for bringing East-
West flair to everyday cooking, making it possible to transform a handful of
fresh ingredients into a delicious meal in a matter of minutes. The genius of
Simply Ming is a versatile array of master recipes—intensely flavored sauces,
pestos, salsas, dressings, rubs, and more that eliminate much of the last-
minute prep work. So sophisticated dishes such as Tea-Rubbed Salmon with
Steamed Scallion-Lemon Rice, Grilled Miso-Citrus Scallop Lollipops, and Green
Peppercorn Beef Tenderloin with Vinegar-Glazed Leeks can be on the table in
less than 30 minutes. Even casual dishes such as spaghetti, burgers, fried
calamari, and chicken wings get a boost of East-West excitement in Ming’s
creative hands, becoming Asian Pesto Turkey Spaghetti, Salmon Burger with
Tomato-Kaffir Lime Salsa, Blue Ginger Crispy Calamari, and Soy-Dijon Chicken
Wings. This is food that is simple enough to serve on a weeknight, but special
enough to share with guests. And desserts get the Simply Ming treatment, too,
with tempting ways to transform basic shortbread dough, chocolate ganache, and
crème anglaise into a range of show-stopping finales. Filled with color
photographs that motivate and inspire, beverage suggestions to complement each
dish, and helpful tips for cooking with unfamiliar ingredients, Simply Ming
makes the excitement and innovation of East-West cooking easily accessible to
all home cooks. Read more
