Why does east Asian food have so much sugar? It's fucking inedible and I'm at the point where I'm awarding them worst cuisine of the world.

It's either "I speak English better" or "I speak a better English", you stupid piece of shit. When someone's English is better than that of another person, suddenly "English" becomes a countable noun, therefore "I speak better English" is caveman-tier shit on par with the likes of "I want nicer bike than bike of my neighbour". You're a LARPing ESL and you fail at it.

I'm sorry but chicken with shitake mushrooms, bamboo served with a side of chinese rice is just ridiculously good. Shame they don't make it like they used to. Nowdays they either serve too little chicken or add a ridiculous ammount of greasy oil.

Pad Thai and Korean shit does have a ton of sugar, but the vast majority of real asian cooking is completely different from say, panda express.

>> No.17185776

the authentic pad thai recipes I've seen online are all much less sweet than the stuff I get around me. every time the local thai noodles are all sugar and no fish or chilis. that said the chinese food can also serve as a fried meat dessert

What I remember about Chinese food as a young kid growing up in Hong Kong was not really that it was “bad” (which it often was, of course) but that the stuff my parents ordered for us was almost all frozen, and that I would generally throw out whatever that they brought home. This was in the days before a proper kitchen, and there was a tiny freezer unit that could only hold what was on the top shelf, and often that was some random combination of Chinese or Indian takeout. A couple of times a week we’d have what seemed like the best of everything, but the rest of the time it was pretty terrible: a frozen piece of some meat and whatever was frozen with it, a tub of rice, and maybe a can of green peas, and maybe a can of baby corn. There was a few times in my childhood when we were treated to something really good, like fresh fish that one of the waiters brought home in a plastic bag. So for my first couple of decades, I never actually ate a lot

It's not a joke that they over-season to mask subpar ingredients. There's a reason why the ruling class from Delhi all the way to Beijing have never shared the same diet as the peasantry. Mao Zedong is a prime example. When that walking STD was hungry, it was European foods or bust. Particularly, simple, hearty European foods that showcased the quality of the meat. "Chinese" food was an afterthought.

What purpose do you think the infographic has to omitting fruit and wine? If its such a small amount then why leave it out? 100g of sugar is 100g of sugar no matter how it is delivered.

>> No.17188658

>>17188630
Probably easier to track consumption of a small number of crops such as sugarcane and palm sugar than track literally every single fruit that gets sold. But please, go ahead and show us the data for the fruit and wine derived sugar consumption for Asia and Central Africa, and how it puts them at the top of sugar consumption. I'm not stopping you from doing so and neither is anyone else.

I lived in China for half a year, and all the food was sweet. Not super sweet, mind, but sweet enough where I got sick of it and wanted something not sugary. It took me the better part of a month to get used to it. And the sad part is all their desserts aren't sweet enough. It's like they're making up for it in their savory dishes

I've studied cooking in both Taiwan and Japan for over one decade. It's true that the food here typically uses much more sugar than western counterparts. While I cannot give a cultural explanation for Taiwan except for maybe tradition stemming from times when people were poor and sugar was considered a quality ingredient, but for Japanese cooking sugar is primarily used to balance flavors. This is also why westerners who do not have a tongue for Japanese food say that it all tastes the same: Most dishes try to balance flavor instead of labeling themselves salty/sour/spicy etc.

Even scrambled egg in Japan uses sugar.
