What do you mean peanut butter and sriracha in a food processor don't make it Asian?!

thewoksoflife.com does really good authentic recipes, as well as Asian-American recipes but by actual Chinese-Americans who grew up working in a Chinese restaurant. I go here first for Chinese, Chinese-American recipes.

vietworldkitchen.com well-known Vietnamese food writer.

anniesfoodblog.com another Vietnamese food blog.

appetiteforchina.com Chinese-American food writer.

justonecookbook.com really thorough collection of Japanese recipes

iamafoodblog.com not specifically Asian-focused, but posts a lot of really unique Asian recipes (mostly Viet and Chinese) that aren't very well-known (ex. chicken tofu, Vietnamese Bo Kho)

Christine’s Recipes (she has a cookbook but if I recall correctly basically all of the recipes are on the website): https://en.christinesrecipes.com/

I loved Jet Tila’s book: 101 Asian Dishes You Need to Cook Before You Die: Discover a New World of Flavors in Authentic Recipes https://www.amazon.com/dp/1624143822/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OrzpBbA2DP62Q

I’m stickying this post because the great list that’s already starting. A must read for everyone.

And thanks for avoiding the racial commentary - everyone poops and everyone can cook good Asian food.

These are both Malaysian recipe sites but you can find Chinese style cooking on both since that's a major ethnic group in Malaysia.

Ha I feel you. For Cantonese/HK recipes my favorite YouTube channel is Mama Cheung. I believe all videos have English subtitles, and I like that the recipes are in grams.

Bob's your Uncle! https://www.youtube.com/user/bobsyouruncle1981/videos His videos are hilarious! I especially like "What if she smells?" and the one about talking to young men.

For traditional/well known Taiwanese recipes, I love Taiwan Duck. Videos accompany most, if not all, of the written recipes, and I find that many of the classic recipes are the closest in ingredients/sauce ratios to my mom's recipes.

Fuchsia Dunlop, Every Grain of Rice. She's not Asian, but it's good and authentic.

If you're into stir fry at all, I just got stir frying to the sky's edge by Grace Young and it's really great so far

What I personally do is type in the name of the recipe in Chinese on youtube. It'll usually pull up a lot of good vids.

THE SPICE TRAIL, by SANDEEP CHATTERJEE, not a blog but a book.

I love what to cook today! She's indonesian and her recipes cover south east asia, east asia, and some fusion foods.

Damn Delicious
