Chinese Food Recipes

The Chinese, like the French, are a nation of food lovers, and the preparation and enjoyment of food plays a central part in their way of life. The Chinese culinary tradition, one of the oldest in the world, now enjoys an almost unprecedented popularity in the West. About one third of the world's population eat Chinese food everyday of their lives, yet it is much, much more than the daily sustenance of a great many people. Even if it were only eaten regularly by a handful of obscure gourmets, Chinese cooking would still be important for it is one of the truly great and original cuisines of the world.

Recipes Of Japan

Japanese meals vary according to the needs of the occasion. The main styles are the family meal, the packed meal and the formal meal. The art of Japanese food arrangement is characterized by certain broad concepts. Foremost among these is the concept that empty space has a beauty of its own. The balance between vessel and space, and space and food, are also considered crucial. This balance varies according to the season, the design of the utensils and tableware, the type of food, the venue, and even the age of the guests. When multicolored foods are arranged on serving dishes, great attention is paid to spacing - where and how to leave empty areas to best emphasis the beauty of the dish. This is based on concept of ma : space as dynamic entity, and an integral and vital component of any composition. The beauty of finished dish is considered as important s the various ingredients that go into its composition.

 Malaysian Recipes

Malaysia, a country made up of the majority of Malays, Chinese and Indian. A potpourri enriched with the indigenous traditions of Ibans, Kadazan, Dusuns and other ethnic communities of East Malaysia .
In Malaysia rice tends to be a staple food as in most countries in the same region so do noodles. Generally, Malay and Indian cuisine are spicier while Chinese cuisine is milder in taste. There are also cuisines of other ethnic groups, and a growing range of international cuisines. At each meal, a generous helping accompanies a selection of dishes, including fish, seafood, vegetables, and poultry. Beef is conspicuously absent, as it is across much of Asia
Rasa malaysia
Known for its spicy nature and rich flavours, Indonesian cuisine is also famous for its unique blend of sweet and sour spiciness. A typical Indonesian sauce includes chilli padi, shrimp paste, sugar and white vinegar. Though Indonesian and Nonya cuisines share very similar cooking techniques and ingredients, the most distinguished feature of the latter is that besides amalgamating the Chinese style of cooking of cooking and its rich culture into its cuisine; pork is also used. This is absent from traditional Indonesian dishes.

Hi! I’m Maangchi! Welcome to my website!
I was born and raised in Korea and have been interested in cooking and food since I was a little girl. I live in New York City now, and love to learn about food from other cultures, too. On April 9 2007, I posted a video of myself cooking Korean food on YouTube, just for fun. Right away, people were interested in it, so I’ve been making them ever since.

From Pinterest:
PHO - The key to the Vietnamese noodle soup pho is in the broth. Beef bones, onions, star anise, ginger, and fish sauce get simmered for 6 to 10 hours to create a rich and flavorful base for this hearty and comforting soup... This authentic pho isn't quick, but it is delicious. The key is in the broth, which gets simmered for at least 6 hours.
