In QUICK & EASY CHINESE Asian cuisine expert Nancie McDermott brings her ever-warm invitation to cooks everywhere,
introducing Chinese ingredients and techniques with flawless grace. As the rise of Asian markets makes specialty items more readily available

weekday meals and flavorful menus for festive occasions. QUICK & EASY CHINESE covers all occasions with chapters organized by main ingredient
(Appetizers & Snacks, Soups, Chicken & Eggs,

Noodles, and more), and menu suggestions for events
like Birthday Feast, Dumpling Party, and Picnic Basket. Prepare and savor Kung Pao Chicken, Mu Shu Pork, Grilled Ginger Shrimp with Sweet-and-Sour Dipping Sauce, and
