Asian Recipes?

I am turning to all of you for help. I am looking for SIMPLE Asian recipes and cookbooks. I would also like to know what type of cooking pans and or other necessary equipment may be necessary for preparing the dishes.

We love Asian food but I have never made any at home. I would really like to start. I'd like to at least get a few dishes under my belt that I'm good at before Bebo comes home. Please if you have any ideas pass them along.
