Having lived across several Southeast Asian countries—including Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan—for over a decade, I fell in love with the bold flavors and fragrant spices that define the region’s cooking. Many of these dishes share the same balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy notes that I also value in Korean food.
In this collection, you’ll find approachable recipes inspired by my travels and kitchen memories throughout Southeast Asia—from refreshing Thai beef salad, Vietnamese chicken salad to comforting Cape Malay chicken curry.
Each dish reflects my hands-on experience exploring markets, tasting street food, and learning from local cooks—brought to you with the same care and authenticity I bring to every Korean recipe on Beyond Kimchee.
This book has 75 classic Korean recipes that everyone can easily make at home. You will also find numerous Korean cooking techniques and tips to help you create authentic dishes.
