/ck/ I have a problem looking for foreign recipes in that I am very rarely convinced of a certain recipe's authenticity. I like having a feeling of tradition about what I cook, and that is largely exterminated by recipes I find that deviate from said tradition or are merely "inspired" by it. I feel like it is always altered to western modernity or modified in translation or for my convenience.
In particular, I'm having trouble finding East Asian food that uses the wok, and although I would prefer primarily using mock duck/tofu, I can't even find a single "authentic" recipe that caters to this need. Am I just autistic?

Yes.

I find that watching youtube vids helps get the technique right even when you can't understand what they're saying.

In NYC the question really isn't about where to go for foreign shit, any asshole can toss a rock and find a foreign joint within 100 feet of that, it's more about finding a place that isnt foreign, that takes time and effort.
“What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.” Or so "they" say.

What about the recipe itself? Can you just eyeball the ingredients and steps?

More or less. If you've read up on it you can more or less guess what's going in. The other day I watched a street food guy making nasi goreng and I guessed the stuff in the bottles he was adding. I looked up recipes later and added only the ingredients I'd seen rather than all the strange ingredients that always end up in american dishes like scallops and white wine
