What do Asians eat?

Answer 1

Asia is a big continent, and is home to a number of different cuisines, from different countries.

China is home to a number of different cusines including south chinese and Pekinese, Szechwan and Mongolian. Typical of this cuisine is the stir-fry, flavoured with soy sauce, ginger, garlic and onion. These cuisines favour pork, chicken, the meat of other small animals, and in some cases fish, along with vegetables such as bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, gailon and bok choy. Szechwan cooking is spicier than most. The staple carbohydrates are rice and noodles.

Japan also has rice and noodles. The Japanese use of sweet and sour rice, called sushi, is world famous. They use a lot of fish and seafood in their meals, often raw. Wasabi is a common condiment. Tofu and miso are two ways the Japanese have learned to process bean curd. Their soups and sauces are often based on dashi stock, a fishy stock.

Thai cooking uses lime flavour, red peppers, hot peppers, and peanuts in stir fries along with rice and frequently noodles. Pad Thai is a famous noodle dish in this cuisine. Thai cooking uses green and red curry pastes and coconut milk.

Vietnamese cuisine resembles south chinese and is especially famous for their spring rolls, which differ from those made in Thailand and China. The flavour of Vietnamese Nuoc Mam sauce (made from fish) is characteristic.

Curries based on coconut milk are also typical of Malaysian cooking.

In the Philippines, main dishes often have a variety of meats in conjunction. Filipinos also make more and better desserts than any other asian cuisine.

Moving west, there are a number of cuisines in India and Pakistan. Most are based around spice blends like curry powder (in which turmeric, coriander and fenugreek predominate) and garam masala. The cooks of the Indian subcontinent make the most artful use of spices of any cooks in the world, bar none. Cumin and coriander, garlic and ginger are combinations that underlie some of their sauces. Many Indian cuisines are vegetarian and are based around pulses like lentils and split peas, or paneer, a kind of cheese. Others make stews from chicken, beef, lamb or kid. Indian cooking makes use of rice but also breads such as naan, chappattis or parathas, and crispy lentil-flour papadums. The sauces range from the mild butter chicken to the fierce Goan Vindaloo.

And these are only the more well-known of Asian cuisines! It's a big continent with a great variety of people living in it.
