"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Red-Cooked Eggs

 

Ingredients

6 eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup dark soy sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tsp sesame oil
1 hoisin sauce
1 oyster sauce



 

Preparation

In a pot, cover the eggs with cold water; bring to a boil, then
simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat, cool the eggs under cold
running water, and shell them. In a pan, combine the brown sugar, soy
sauce, chicken broth, and sesame oil. Heat the mixture, stirring to
dissolve the brown sugar. Add the eggs. Simmer, covered for 1 hour.
The liquid should cover the eggs, but if it does not, baste
frequently. Turn off the heat and let the eggs stand in the another
hour, turning them from time to time, to ensure even coloring. Serve
cut into halves or quarters, with dipping sauce. Makes 6 to 8
appetizer servings. DIPPING SAUCE: In bowl, combine equal parts of
the hoisin sauce and oyster sauce.
