Summary:
"For the last
100
years
,
Nom
Wah
Tea Parlor has been slinging some of the world’s greatest
dim
sum
from
New
York’s Chinatown. Now owner Wilson Tang tells the story of how the
restaurant
came to be -- and how to prepare their legendary dishes in your own home.
Nom
Wah
Tea Parlor isn’t simply the story of dumplings, though there are many folds to it. It isn’t the story of bao, though there is much filling. It’s not just the story of
dim
sum
, although there are scores and scores of
recipes
. It’s the story of a community of Chinese immigrants who struggled, flourished, cooked, and ate with abandon in
New
York
City
. (Who now struggle, flourish, cook, and eat with abandon in
New
York
City
.) It’s a journey that begins in Toishan, runs through Hong Kong, and ends up tucked into the corner of a street once called The Bloody Angle. In this book,
Nom
Wah’s owner, Wilson Tang, takes us into the hardworking kitchen of
Nom
Wah
and emerges with 75 easy-to-make
recipes
: from bao to vegetables, noodles to desserts, cakes, rice rolls, chef’s specials, dumplings, and more. We’re also introduced to characters like Mei Lum, the fifth-generation owner of porcelain shop Wing on Wo, and Joanne Kwong, the lawyer-turned-owner of Pearl River Mart. He paints a portrait of what Chinatown in
New
York
City
is in 2020. As Wilson, who quit a job in finance to take over the once-ailing family business, struggles with the dilemma of immigrant children -- to jettison tradition or to cling to it -- he also points to a
new
way: to savor tradition while moving forward. A book for har gow lovers and rice roll junkies, The
Nom
Wah
Cookbook
portrays a culture at a crossroads."--Publisher.
