🔴The Woks of Life (also a website with plenty of online recipes) by Bill, Judy, Sarah, & Kaitlin Leung:
This is a book by a Chinese-American family that teaches you about traditional Chinese recipes and also American-Chinese takeout classics.
They include cute family anecdotes which is really cute.
🔴The Food of Sichuan by Fuchsia Dunlop:
I LOVE Sichuan food and these recipes have all turned out well for me. Fuchsia is a famous chef and although she is from the UK she studied culinary arts in China.
What I love about both books is that they’re definitely written for people who may not be from China, but are more likely to live in the US or UK. They explain what certain unfamiliar ingredients are and give you advice on how to find them or what to substitute for them if you can’t find them.

for a blossoming home cook, i'd recommend getting a cookbook that focuses on teaching technique/building blocks rather than a specific cuisine. it's a good starting place to get comfortable with things like cooking meat, making pie crust, etc., and then cookbooks not geared towards beginners will be a lot less intimidating
some recs would be the food lab by kenji lopez-alt, start here by sohla el-waylly, or anything jacques pepin

I have recently become one and hoo baby are those little things yummy!
get yourself a good cookbook to read from—Japanese and Korean food sounds like it’d be exactly what you want with more diverse flavors
