I was hoping for recipes that wouldn't be too much hassle. Heh.

Unless you've got access to a wide variety of ingredients (boneless duck breast, Calabrian chili, chaat masala, Chinese sausages, dashi, elderflower syrup, mirin, Shanghai bok choi, Shaoxing cooking wine, shishito peppers, shiso leaf, Thai bird chili...), you'll find it difficult to even get started with most of these recipes.

The recipes in the "Sides and Basics" chapter are well worth looking at, some of which use very few ingredients prepared simply.
