When talking about Asian dishes, they mean a generalized concept that includes the cuisines of countries such as Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, as well as all the countries of Central Asia. That is, it is not so much a geographical location as the belonging of local residents to a certain race. And, let's say, Afghan cuisine is not considered Asian, but rather Arabic. And the Turkish one will be oriental.
The five most commonly used ingredients in Asian Cuisine Recipes:
| Product | Calories per 100g | Protein g per 100g | Fats g per 100g | Carbohydrates g per 100g |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sugar | 398 | 0 | 0 | 99.7 |

A huge number of Asian cuisine recipes differ from each other in many ways. For example, Japanese tends towards greater balance, low use of fats, abundance of fish, rice. Kazakh, on the contrary, likes hearty, fatty dishes with lots of meat: beef, mutton, etc. In Muslim countries, there are no recipes with pork - there this meat is considered dirty. But the Chinese actively use this product in their dishes.
This means that there are no guidelines by which an Asian dish can be distinguished. It will be necessary to talk about the culinary preferences of a certain country. Thai and Korean cuisines love spicy spices - the same can be said about Chinese. In Japan, they love rice - they cook not only the first and second courses with it, but also desserts and alcoholic beverages.
Perhaps we can say that Asian cuisine has a weakness for thick soups: they are eaten in all these countries. Only in each of them they are called differently: lagman, roman, Tom yam, danhuatan, kugigugse, fo. And many of the first dishes include certain noodles: somewhere homemade, wide and flat, somewhere rice or egg, round, glass.
