About The Book
Born in Hong Kong but raised in Buncrana, County Donegal, Kwanghi Chan says that his food isn't fully authentically Chinese, but neither is he. His book, WOK, is the first Irish-Chinese cookbook to be published. The recipes include some of Kwanghi's favourites, from the meals he grew up with, which kept him in touch with his Asian heritage, and the food he cooks at home now with his family. You'll also find some of the fusion flavours that Kwanghi loves from dishes influenced by his travels to Asia; from the flavours of the street food vendors to refined three-star Cantonese dishes. Broken down into nine sections - dumplings, street food, rice, beef, pork, chicken, seafood, vegetarian, and sweet - with three recipes in each section, Kwanghi is bringing Asian food to a wider Irish audience.
