Simply Ming: Easy Techniques for East-Meets-West Meals  by Arthur Boehm
Acclaimed chef Ming Tsai has long been an expert at bringing the flavours of East and West together. Now he brings those complex flavours to the weeknight dinner table with an innovative shortcut technique. Using a time-honoured chefs' trick of the trade, Ming shows how a single "mother recipe" can be the flavourful base for 3 entirely different dishes, allowing the home cook to prep once and eat three times with little additional effort. For example, Ming's Hoisin-Lime Sauce can be used to make Grilled Hoisin-Lime BBQ Chicken, Hoisin-Roasted Duck with Sweet Potatoes, or Asian Sloppy Joes. More than 2 dozen unique sauces, chutneys, relishes and vinaigrettes are the starting point for a multitude of dishes.
