Let’s be clear – when I say ‘Asian’, I mean ‘Asian-inspired’. I have no classical training in Eastern cuisine, or any cuisine for that matter. I’m just a white girl who’s experimented enough in the kitchen to compile a ‘Top 5′ list.
If you are new to Asian cooking and are wondering where to start, I suggest stocking your pantry/refrigerator with the following ingredients: garlic, ginger root, cilantro, basil, scallions, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Sriracha, vegetable oil, sesame oil, sesame seeds, coconut milk, creamy peanut butter, yellow curry powder, store-bought wonton skins/egg roll wrappers and fresh noodles. Then if you can get your hands on a wok and learn to take good care of it, you’re really in business.
So in no particular order:
1. Fried Carrot & Coconut Pockets

Thank you, CS!
the pork dish looks awesome! I have a few favorites: seared tuna with wasabi, tofu in sticky sauce and stir fryes.
