The Wok by Kenji Lopez-Alt fits that description perfectly. It is a massive book, filled with a lot of technique and explanations, and additional recipes.
A similar book is Salt Acid Fat Heat by Samin Nosrat. She also has a short Netflix docu where she dives into depth about each part. It has accompanying recipes, but the main focus is on the know how and techniques.
