This review is from: 30 Minute Asian Meals: 250 Quick, Tasty & Healthy Recipes From Around Asia (Paperback)

Asian food is often noted for its involved time preparation which keeps many a home cook from experimenting with it - but with 30-MINUTE ASIAN MEALS in hand, you can put together an Asian dinner as quickly as any other cuisine. The cooking strategy is based on how long it takes to prepare rice - so the entire dish is ready at the same time. From quick preparation tips to a range of dishes from across Asia, from China to Thailand and Indonesia, chapters pack in maps, black and white photos, and easy instructions perfect for newcomers to Asian cuisine.
