Modern Asian Kitchen: Essential and Easy Recipes for Ramen, Dumplings, Dim Sum, Stir-Fries, Rice Bowls, Pho, Bibimbaps, and More
The New Asian Cooking is bolder and more assertive, less fussy and more casual. With these easy-to-shop-for, quick-to-cook recipes, you can try--and will fall in love with--this trending style right in your own kitchen. Heaped on big plates, Sichuan beef and broccoli and Indian chicken tikka masala are timeless comfort foods, to be sure, but there's a brand-new style of Asian cooking that's giving them a run for their money. It's more about grazing through small plates than sinking into one big one. It's more about pan-Asian fusions--"third culture" foods, the cooking of the Asian diaspora--than about each culture's oldest traditions. It's more plant-forward than meat-centered. It's irreverent and fun and incredibly delicious. And it's all captured in Modern Asian Kitchen. Kat Lieu--the blogger and online personality who presides over the Subtle Asian Baking corner of the enormously popular Subtle Asian Traits online community, and who is the author of Modern Asian Baking at Home--serves up more than 80 inventive recipes for:
- Vibrant vegetable dishes like Sichuan-style fish-fragrant eggplant and umami-packed braised shiitake mushrooms
- Quick noodle dishes for super-easy lunches
- Quick-fix matcha ramen bowls and simple miso soups
- Dim sum, with tricks and food hacks like rice-paper shrimp dumplings
- Street-food favorites like Taiwanese popcorn chicken in the air fryer
- Customizable bibimbap bowls for busy-weeknight dinners
- Southeast Asian favorites like cold-papaya salads, streaming hot phos, and spring rolls with surprising things inside and punchy chile-crisp coatings on the outside
The recipes also include:
- Umami-Packed Spiral Cucumber Salad
- Sumptuous Siu Mai and Easy Dim Sum
- Melty Cheesecake Bao
- Tony's Spicy Cumin Skewers
- Crispy Crackling Roast Pork
- Clay Pot Taiwanese Three-Cup Chicken
- Mapo Tofu and Veggies
- Pandan Tres Leches with a Kaya Drizzle
Whether you are cooking a family-style feast of a dozen exciting dishes for the sharing table, or you just want a simple and hearty one-bowl meal at the end of a busy workday (or a quick meal when you work from home), you will find a lifetime of tasty ideas in the pages of Modern Asian Kitchen. -

Ocean's Godori
Becky Chambers meets Firefly in this big-hearted Korean space opera debut about a disgraced space pilot struggling to find her place while fighting to protect the people she loves.
"A thrilling, transportive ride from a powerful and evocative new voice." --Lena Waithe, Rishi Rajani, and Naomi Funabashi, Hillman Grad Books Ocean Yoon has never felt very Korean, even if she is descended from a long line of haenyeo, Jeju Island's beloved female divers. She doesn't like soju, constantly misses cultural references, and despite her love of the game, people still say that she doesn't play Hwatu like a Korean. Ocean's also persona non grata at the Alliance, Korea's solar system-dominating space agency, since a mission went awry and she earned a reputation for being a little too quick with her gun. When her best friend, Teo, second son of the Anand Tech empire, is framed for murdering his family, Ocean and her misfit crewmates are pushed to the forefront of a high-stakes ideological conflict. But dodging bullets and winning space chases may be the easiest part of what comes next. A thrilling adventure across the solar that delivers hyperkinetic action sequences and irresistible will-they-won't-they romance alongside its nuanced exploration of colonialism and capitalism, Ocean's Godori ultimately asks: What do we owe our past? How do we navigate our present while honoring the complicated facets of our identity? What can our future hold? -

And more mysterious events follow: Holes in the backyard spit up letters penned by her grandmother; a visiting aunt arrives with snakes in her belly; a brother tests the possibility of flight. All the while, Daughter is falling for Ben, a neighborhood girl with strange powers of her own.
