Everybody loves fried chicken.

Whether it’s Korean Fire Chicken, Vietnamese Butter Wings, or Japanese Karaage, nothing surpasses the unique twists and flavours that cooks in East and Southeast Asia have brought to fried chicken.

Kung Pao and Beyond showcases 60 crisp, crunchy and spicy recipes that take this humble fast food to a whole new level. Susan Jung offers up mouth-watering recipes to satisfy everyone, so that you can enjoy fried chicken at home whenever the craving strikes.

Using the humble chicken as a blank canvas, Susan Jung’s cookbook is a heartfelt ode to all the luscious spices and flavors of East and Southeast Asia. The recipes draw from her heritage, extensive travels, and impressive network of chef friends from around the world. I’m already bookmarking a bunch of them to make for dinner parties and movie nights.
