An exhilarating and idiosyncratic exploration of Taiwanese food in all its complexity and deliciousness, with 75 recipes.
Eric Sze, a New York City restaurateur, travels back to Taiwan to understand identity and culture. These dishes he grew up eating in Taipei show an inadvertent fusion of food, from imports like xiao long bao and shrimp fried rice that have become part of the culture, to his mom’s distinctly Chinese Taiwanese Lunar New Year spread. Discover the beloved staples of Taiwanese street food like popcorn chicken, fried noodles, gua bao, and more. Recipes are accompanied by essays on specific stand-out dishes and ingredients, plus special features like a choose-your-own scallion pancake feature, and Taipei itineraries that are spread throughout.
