Ken Hom's Quick Wok: The Fastest Food in the East

The recipes in this book are simple and zappy, which means it is a book that you open, then march straight to the kitchen and put to work. Ken Hom is a masterly cook, and it is extraordinary to see how far he has travelled over the last two decades in his quest to demystify Chinese cooking for folk with an appetite and a wok. Our favourite so far? Pork and oyster sauce noodles
