Asian recipes

Asian recipes can generally be classified in to several categories on the basis of the regional styles of cooking & the people & culture of those regions. A number of the main categories of Asian food are East Asian, Southeast Asian, South Asian, Central Asian & Middle Eastern. In common usage however, Asian food (also referred to as Asian cuisine) primarily includes South & Southeast Asian cuisine. The main countries that constitute this region are India, China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma etc.

Chinese food is generally considered to be East Asian food, even though China stretches from across mid-Asia to the Far East. Rice is the most important staple through most of China. In some regions however, noodles are preferred to rice. Most foods are prepared by mincing or cooking, & are cooked in a wok, using  miniscule oil. Traditionally, there's three main regional cuisines in China: Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan & Zhejiang. The one distinct regional cuisines however, are Shanghainese – characterized by hot & spicy chilly pepper flavoring, Cantonese – associated with flavorful meat & vegetable combinations, & Mandarin – associated with steamed noodle & bread dumplings.
