Beyond Korean

Beyond Korean by Aaron Hu is a friendly, practical Asian cookbook that brings big flavour without demanding restaurant-level skills. Built around Aaron & Claire’s famously relaxed style, it’s packed with 100 simple recipes plus clear guidance on key ingredients, sauces and techniques—ideal for weeknight cooking and confident experimenting.

You’ll cook modern Korean food classics like Tomato Kimchi, Buldak Rice Bowl and Gochujang Garlic Noodles, then branch into mash-ups such as Kimchi Grilled Cheese and a Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich. The book also travels through Japanese favourites—think Chicken Katsu, Miso Ramen and a Japanese Egg Sandwich—before landing on Chinese staples including Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef and Sesame Noodles.

Perfect for home cooks who love noodle dishes, rice bowls and soups, or anyone building a go-to pantry for Korean, Japanese and Chinese cooking.

Add it to your kitchen shelf and start cooking beyond the usual.
