Myers+Chang at Home is packed with vibrant, flavor-packed recipes that bring the restaurant's magic into your kitchen. One standout is their Dan Dan Noodles—the peanut sauce is creamy with just the right kick of chili oil, and the ground pork adds a savory depth. I love how the recipe balances heat and richness, making it a crowd-pleaser. Another favorite is the Tea-Smoked Pork Spareribs—the smokiness from the tea leaves is unreal, and the meat falls right off the bone.
For something lighter, their Coconut Rice with Stir-Fried Greens is a go-to. The coconut milk gives the rice a subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with the garlicky greens. And don’t skip the Mom’s Chao Zhou Dumplings—the wrapper is so delicate, and the filling bursts with ginger and shrimp. What I appreciate about this cookbook is how approachable the recipes feel, even for weeknight cooking. The flavors are bold but never overwhelming, and the instructions are clear without being fussy.
Myers+Chang's cookbook is my go-to for recreating their vibrant flavors at home! Their recipes balance bold Asian-inspired tastes with approachable techniques—like their famous Tea-Smoked Pork Spareribs, which I tweak by using a DIY smoking setup with tea leaves and rice in a wok. The key is their marinade: hoisin, soy, and five-spice create this sticky, aromatic glaze that caramelizes beautifully.
I also love their dumpling recipes—they break down folding techniques so clearly, even my first attempts looked decent. For weeknights, their quick stir-fries (like garlicky greens with fermented tofu) are lifesavers. Pro tip: prep their chili-garlic sauce in batches—it elevates everything from eggs to noodles! Their cookbook feels like having a witty friend guiding you through each step, making intimidating dishes feel totally doable.
'Myers+Chang at Home' has been on my wishlist forever! From what I've dug up, the best places to snag it are directly from the publisher's website (they often have signed copies!) or major retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Local indie bookstores sometimes surprise you with hidden gems too—I once found a rare cookbook tucked away in a tiny shop near Boston.
If you're into the digital life, Kindle and Apple Books have instant downloads, but I'm old-school and love flipping through physical pages splattered with soy sauce stains. The restaurant's own site occasionally stocks it too, which feels extra special since it supports them directly. Either way, this book's packed with those bold flavors that make their dishes legendary.
