I don't remember for sure where I saw a list of recommended new cookbooks.. it might have been in an email from Fine Cooking, but I picked out half a dozen or so and had Charlie narrow it down to two. The one that we have tries so far is called Night + Market. The first one was not very good. This one was better. Charlie went to a Korean store today and brought back some cucumber kimchi and kimbob which we had with rice and the chicken deep fried with tempura batter.
The tempura batter was not from the book. I made it with a cup of flour, two teaspoons of cornstarch, salt and 1 1/2 C. of cold club soda. The sauce was made with two teaspoons of cornstarch and enough water to make a slurry, heated with 1/4 C fish sauce, 1/4 C. white vinegar, 1/4 C. orange juice, 3/4 C. sweet orange marmalade, and a pinch of salt. The recipe said to garnish it with green onion slices, orange zest and roasted chili powder which I forgot to do.
