Different Types of Asian Food

Just like Italian food is often thought to consist of mostly pasta, southern Italians prefer a medley of seafood, while Northern Italians often focus on game meats. 

In most of the cases, after having tasted every other Asian food like Chinese and Thai food, trying Indian cuisine brings out common threads with few ingredients that unite the different culinary practices.

Let’s see what wonders Asian foods can make in our life.

If you already knew something about north Indian cuisine then you should have an idea that the food culture consists of curries, which are gravy-like sauce or stew-like dishes with meat, vegetables, or cheese. The differentiation happens while using particular spice mixtures, along with the degree of liquidity, and ingredients, which is based on the regional preference.

There are nan and curry, furthermore, there is biriyani.

Above all of that, there is one thing that makes north Indian food different from other Asian food is the most defining characteristic of Indian cuisine—diverse use of spices.

On the other hand, every Asian cushion is somewhat similar to Indian cuisine in terms of having dry powers or spices.

“Chili pepper, black mustard seed, cumin, turmeric, fenugreek, ginger, garlic, cardamom, cloves, coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, saffron, rose petal essence, and asafoetida powder.”

Foods from the nations of Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia are from the Southeast region of Asia.  In one way, Indian food and Thai food draws similarity is that some of the staple ingredients from these nations are rice and fresh vegetables.

Here, you’ll find plenty of rice, fresh fruits and vegetables, lemongrass, and Thai basil. Thailand’s cuisine is also highly influenced by China. Think intense aroma and spice, with contrasting flavors and textures.

Some of the most popular East Asian food regions are from China, Korea, and Japan. Don’t we often look through various Asian food markets for Hakka style food—an Indo-Asian style fusion flavor? That sounds humanly relevant.

However, as per wiki, Indian Chinese cuisine is an adaption of Chinese seasoning and cooking techniques to Indian tastes.

Chinese foods include soy, rice, tofu, and noodles. In Korean cooking, you’ll find ample ingredients of rice, soy, garlic, red pepper flakes, ginger, and legumes. Don’t that sound quite similar to Indian food ingredients? However, Beef is a treasured ingredient in Korean cooking.
