Cook the Book: Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges
Posted by Ed Levine, November 12, 2007 at 1:08 PM
In a culinary world filled with people cooking "con-fusion" food it's good to be reminded how good fusion cooking can be in the right chef's hands. Jean-Georges Vongerichten is not only the seminal Asian-French fusion chef, he is also inarguably the best. Exhibit A for this thesis is this week's Cook the Book tome, Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges. Included in the book are 175 recipes, including some of Jean-George's signature dishes from Vong and Spice Market.
Thanks to the good folks at Broadway Books we're giving away five (5) copies of Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges. Just tell us what your favorite Asian noodle or rice dish is.
Winners will be chosen at random from among the comments. You have until 3 p.m. ET Saturday, November 17, to comment. The standard contest rules apply.

korean Bibimbob with an egg and lots of chili sauce.
Mike5534 at 1:57PM on 11/12/07
i have different favorites if i'm eating out or making myself. but if i'm making myself i'd say udon noodles with flank steak. basic marinade includes soy, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar and then i change it based on whats in my fridge.
ceforrester at 2:01PM on 11/12/07
I second the bibimbap...the rice gets nice and crusty on the bottom. mmm....

gosh, i love all noodles and rice dishes, almost. bibimbap, pho, are two of my favorites; just a good old bowl of Chinese soup noodles (esp. homemade or hand-pulled noodles) is lovely as well.

There was a chicken and ginger hot pot from a restaurant I used to live near that was awesome. That's probably the one I'd pick if I had to.

Soba - cold with dipping sauce and sliced cucumber on hot days, in a steaming bowl of broth when it's colder.
Nicholas H at 2:54PM on 11/12/07
beef chow fun with gravy - thick rice noodles with beef and chinese greens covered with a thick brown gravy. preferably from a chinese cafe (cha chan tang) with a steaming cup of coffee milk tea. ;)
riceandwheat at 3:03PM on 11/12/07
Hard to decide offhand -- Singapore noodles would be a good choice but I have to choose Cold Noodles with Sesame Paste!
Stushi at 3:05PM on 11/12/07

Pad Thai is up there, of course, joined by cold sesame soba noodle salads, and glass noodles with shrimp and a light chili-lime dressing.

dna90048 at 7:00PM on 11/12/07
since we're going with the asian theme, roast duck chow fun for the noodles (close win over singapore mai fun and pho), and for rice, I guess without giving it too much thought, any variety of bibim bap.
seyo at 7:02PM on 11/12/07
Hu Tieu Nam Vang -> Marrow clear base soup with chewy clear tapioca noodle with pork offal, shrimp, beansprouts , chinese chives, liver, pork mince, **secret ingredient** fried pork fat to give you that crunch and great taste - cooling for summer and warming for winter. one of those food you would take when you are having a sore throat or not feeling well

Singapore noodles! (The yellow curry kind).
stuffedofu at 7:14PM on 11/12/07
I am currently obsessed with soup noodles of all types and from all countries like pho tai, miso ramen, laksa lemak, and Thai kway tiaw, especially boat noodles and ba mii. I am also obsessed with congee of all styles. Still, I think my favorite noodle dish is pad woon sen or maybe a hot fresh plate of beef chow fun.
okay_noodle at 7:19PM on 11/12/07
my fav has to be my mom's beef noodle soup (Chinese style). not too spicy but with enough kick. love it
Hungry Like a Wolf at 7:22PM on 11/12/07
I looooove Beef Yaki Udon, and I'm looking forward to making it myself sometime soon! (I don't see the point in paying like $8 for something that seems so simple to make at home)

A plate of warm Plain White Rice, with Pork Adobo on the side and a nice bowl of Chicken Tinola. To finish the meal, I'd like to enjoy a nice well mixed Halo-Halo in a tall glass served cold and a piece of Leche Plan (creme caramel) on top. Yummy!

Cold soba noodles in a dashi broth, with mirin, shoyu and ginger. Perfect meal on a hot summer day (or any time of year for that matter).

Pad thai. Boring, I suppose but still, pad thai.
curmudgeon at 10:35AM on 11/13/07
I'm not sure what it's called, but I know their origin is Cambodia. It's a bowl of rice noodles topped with a sweet soy mixture and oil with thin slices of liver, pork, chicken and ground stir fried pork with green onions. It's garnished with cilantro. You can either order it with soup in or on the side. I like ordering it on the side and adding spoonfuls of soup to it and then breaking up the noodles with my chopsticks and soup spoon. It's serious comfort in a bowl for those cold nights.
JadedOne at 10:43AM on 11/13/07
Duck noodles - when I was a kid, my grandma would get a roast duck from Oakland Chinatown, and she'd ask for a little cup of the juices that run out when they cook the duck. Then she'd get some fresh noodles from another market. Back at home, she'd boil the noodles in water, then serve them with the duck jus poured over, with the roast duck on the side. All the spices and salt that make the duck so tasty work so well with fresh noodles! To this day my brother and I make this request when we know grandma's buying a roast duck.

Do you know how hard it is to answer this question when you eat rice three times a day?
I'd have to say a nice, big bowl of arroz caldo (filipino rice soup, also known as congee) with the following condiments sprinkled on top: toasted garlic oil, thin slivers of green onion and sili (tiny peppers), patis (fish sauce) and a squeeze of calamansi (filipino citrus).
HELLO comfort food!

White rice with roast meats like duck, pork, or char-siu.
White rice with sweet duck (liver) sausage, fried egg & a drizzle of oyster sauce was a childhood favorite comfort food.

Definitely bi bim bop, but it has to be in a hot stone dish, so the rice gets crunchy.

My standby is the vegetable lo mein on the buffet at my local Chinese restaurant with the sauce from General Tso's Chicken & maybe a few pieces of the chicken,& some of the sauteed greenbeans with garlic & what they call Chinese Pickle. Now I think I have to go get some, right now! Bye.

Perfect fried rice, where the rice comes as fluffy, separate grains, with a balanced infusion of flavours from whatever ingredients have been fried with it; not too oily and has 'wok-hei' - loosely translated as breath of the wok...
yiwern at 6:29PM on 11/13/07
Bibimbap.
But a close second, probably because I haven't had it since I was at my ex's mother's house, Ddeok Bok Ee, that spicy, sweet, red, chewy deliciousness.

Since my Burmese friend now lives in Boston and I rarely/never get his homemade mohinga any more (an addictive fish noodle stew I have, literally, had dreams about), I'll have to go with the Rangoon Night Market Noodles at Village Mingala on E. 7th St. NYC. Egg noodles in a brown garlic sauce topped with chopped duck bits. Sadly, they've replaced the fried garlic slices with fried onion pieces, so it requires a little doctoring now, but still fast, cheap, and sooo delicious!

Today I like sesame noodle soup from WD-50. The noodles come in a squeeze bottle, and they're delicious!!!!

Udon noodles but I can rarely find them where I live.

Probably the noodle soup at Sha Lin Noodle house here in Vancouver or Goldstone (I think that was the name) in Toronto. Fresh noodles made ten feet from the table, BBQ pork or duck or sometimes both, amazing broth. Perfect!

Love pho, of course. But recently had plain steamed thai rice for the first time and loved its chewy texture.

Oh my goodness! Dun dun noodles from Mary Chung's in Cambridge? Most definitely a worthy choice. I miss those spicy, sweet, tangy & dark noodles.
JustNancy at 2:20PM on 11/15/07
Pho! I love it with all the condiments, fresh basil, bean sprouts and chili peppers! Deeelish!
foodiegirl at 2:26PM on 11/15/07
Definitely Drunken Noodles (or Pad Kee Mao) with shrimp and a nice, cool glass of Thai Iced Tea.
Junie at 2:40PM on 11/15/07
Do I have to pick just one? Oh how I love everything! Pho, pad thai, anything with curry!

Fried rice in all its infinite varieties. It is Eastern comfort food for me. I plan to work on making the perfect fried rice for the rest of my cooking days. I like cooking with Soba and Udon noodles as well. Yum!

I'm Chinese and my mom makes all kinds of delicious rice and noodle dishes. But my favorite would have to be Sauteed Rice Ovalettes with black fungus, scallions, ginger, garlic, bamboo shoots, pork and cabbage. Similar to the dish listed at the bottom of this page.

Good old Pad Thai
tech9803 at 5:39PM on 11/15/07
sometimes a plain ole bowl of rice topped with a fried egg over easy and just a tad of soy sauce is the most satisfying dinner ever.

A simple bowl of wontons with a few pieces of pork. Or pho with sliced beef. Or pork mei fun. Damn, how could I forget shrimp chow fun?!
ronn at 10:30AM on 11/16/07
I love pho, and jap chae
clumsycook at 11:03AM on 11/16/07
Oh that's a horrible question to ask, how can I choose?! You have the standard Chinese beef noodle soup, or pan-fried beef noodles, as well as liang mein (cold noodles with peanut sauce and sliced vegetables). Japanese, Indian or Chinese curry over rice or the Cantonese rice porridge that's cooked for days with 1000-year-old eggs and pork strips. Or you could have soba with wasabi-flavored soba sauce and your basic ramen noodles adorned with delicious vegetables and sauces. And you can't forget pho! Especially with the rare beef slices that you can see getting cooked in the hot broth as you're served. *drools* My brain's exploding from thinking about all these delicious foods!
