Asian Cuisine

[Anonymous No.15717843]

out of all the asian cuisines, which is the best?

for me, ive become disenchanted with japanese food and have started to realize that south korean food is just better. as for the other "big" ones, american chinese btfos authentic chinese, and flips eat spaghetti and fried chicken. what else is there?

Ranking and tiering things is a sure sign of autism and lower thinking. Instead of trying to reduce effort by choosing some "best," maybe you should consider the benefits of variety and nuance. Or is that too much for a knuckle-dragging dipshit?

I live in Japan and people here genuinely think that corn on pizza is delicious and some sort of hidden italian delicacy. People here are really fucking nuts about italian food but can never remotely cook anything like it. There are loads upon loads of "italian" restaurants here but when you go in it's always some weird fucking japanese ripoff where they fuck up all of the dishes by adding jap shit like raw squid and eel and shit to it and then they try to fucking play it off as "real italian food". It doesn't help that people here don't know what normal bread or cheese is. It's all fucking gross. I have not had any normal-tasting cheese in all the time I've lived here, and good bread is about as rare as a properly paid salaryman. These people are born on this island, they will live their whole lives on this island, and they will die on this island without ever tasting real bread or cheese in their life and that's just sort of sad. The worst part is that because no japanese person actually knows what real italian food is like, nobody can call restaurants out on this bullshit, everyone eats it all up and calls it "honto ni umaiiii uwuwuwu" and everyone thinks this is what real italian food is like. It's just sad. "Oh rettsu addu fishu eggu andu seaweedu to pasta carbonara don't u kno this is how rearu itarian peeporu eat!!". The worst part for me is that japan doesn't just massacre classic italian food like this, but they also do it with every other country's cuisine imaginable. French, spanish, mexican, turkish, you name it. They botch everything they come across as "wow foreign so cool" but it's never apparently fucking good enough unless they douse it in soy sauce and raw octopus to make it "authentic european" food. Don't get me wrong I love me some japanese food but fuck this country for ruining foreign food culture and fuck the people for being too retarded to not know what real food is like, even though they kind of can't help it, fuck em it's gross

What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

The ingredients for good ramen are actually extremely cheap, it's just hard to make. The broth takes hours of slow simmering, the noodle dough is extremely tough, and the autistic way that broth and tari are made seperately then combined in the bowl makes the seasoning extremely easy to fuck up.

Vietnamese food, which has heavy French influence due to nearly a century of French occupation there. They make good bread, and lean heavily into flavors of fresh herbs, fermented fish, and green chili. They use primarily jasmine rice, like most of southeast Asia, and eat a lot of vegetables. Many people know phở, a noodle soup with a complex broth, and bánh mì, a sandwich on French bread, but my favorite Vietnamese dishes are
>gỏi cuốn, a shrimp roll packed with fresh herbs and veggies
>gỏi xoài, a salad of green mango, radish, and carrot with shrimp, herbs, peanuts and chili
>thịt kho, slow-braised pork belly & boiled eggs in a caramel sauce

>what else is there?
Thai food, which has historically carried heavy Szechuan influence, yet also carries more southern Asian influence due to its long shared border with Myanmar, and in the south heavy Malay influence. There is immense regional variance in Thailand. The north tends to prefer sticky rice over the south's preference for fragrant jasmine rice. Dishes tend to be more hot-spicy in the south, and fresher with more herbs, fresh seafood, coconuts & cashews; dishes in the north tend to have more of an Indian curry-like spice profile and use more fermented fish products and meat. Most people know of Thai curries by flavor: spiciest green, spicy red, Indian yellow and mild orange. My favorite Thai dishes are
>tom yum goong, a hot-and-sour shrimp soup with lemongrass (southern)
>pad kee mao, lit. "drunken noodles," a chewy noodle dish with Thai basil & plenty of veggies (northern)
>Massaman curry, a mild orange curry rich with coconut cream, fusion spices, peanuts or cashews, and tamarind (southern)

Soju is the most sold alcoholic beverage in the world and mostly only the tiny country of Korea drinks it. Korean males drink more than almost any other individual demographic on the face of the planet. Only a few countries compete with Korea's overall alcohol consumption, and most of them have their alcohol consumption spread more evenly between the genders (such as Belarus) while in Korea the men drink the lion's share of that country's per capita alcohol intake.

No one in this thread has eaten anything besides surface level Korean food. Korean food is awesome, the problem is that there isn’t enough competition with most Korean food in a city except LA, NYC, Dallas. If you have one Korean restaurant in your city it’s just gonna be the typical hits, which are generally similar.

I think one big problem with Korean food is that there is kind of a sameness to it, it’s probably because 50% of all Korean live in the Seoul metropolitan area, so there’s not too much regional food.

I'm not even Korean, but it is my favorite cuisine. I've spent a lot of time reading about Korean cuisine, watching Korean foodtubers, learning about the brands they typically use and prefer. I have a cabinet full of Korean pantry staples. I've just done a huge batch of kimchi using 7lbs of napa cabbage (comes out to about 2.5 gallons of kimchi) and as soon as it's sour enough I'm making jjajangmyeon to eat with kimchi, ojingeochae bokkeum, and mu saengchae.

Jjamppong is well talked about, by what metric would you say it's not even mildly mainstream? I can't claim to know it all about Korean food but I know about that.

In terms of cuisine Korean is shit tier. It's just shitty americanized processed foods mixed with asian culture resulting in garbage that is tasty but overall extremely simple to make and cant be compared with their neighbours.

Cantonese, Malay, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Singaporean, Japan and all feature cuisines that have deep cultural roots and historical significance that makes them stand on their own and makes them extremely unique and delicious. Overall I can see why Korean food is popular with americans, it's aligned closest to american tastes.

I see you’re the same pretentious dumbass commenting about something you hardly know about. Outside of budae jjigae (which was only created after the war due to food shortages), most if not all, of Korean cuisine uses natural ingredients and veggies and is practically dairy-free, unless you want to slather it with American processed crap such as cheese. Korean cuisine isn’t even popular in America, dishes like jjamppong, bossam, Galbi-jjim, kkori gomtang, gamjatang, hwedupbap, miyeokguk are barely heard about.
