Asian

This broad Asian collection brings together dishes linked to several distinct culinary traditions, as well as adaptations. National cuisine collections provide more specific browsing paths than a single continental label can offer.

Browse the posts below, or choose a subcategory when available.

  • Burmese

    Burmese tomato salad represents this small collection. The recipe offers a starting point for exploring a particular dish, rather than attempting to summarize the range of Myanmar’s cooking traditions.

  • Chinese

    Chicken and noodle stir-fries sit alongside Chinese-influenced tacos and quesadillas in this collection. Browse the recipes with attention to which preparations follow a Chinese dish and which adapt its flavors into another form.

  • Filipino

    Arroz caldo, ube ice cream, and Filipino-inspired granola give this collection contrasting savory and sweet directions. Each recipe offers a particular preparation within the wider range of Filipino cooking.

  • Indian

    Turmeric rice, golden milk, and an egg chile fry offer different starting points in this Indian collection. These dishes represent a small selection within the many regional traditions of Indian cooking.

  • Japanese

    Tamagoyaki, curry rice, and other Japanese or Japanese-inspired preparations give this collection different textures and serving styles. Browse the recipes for their individual methods and the adaptations identified in each dish.

  • Korean

    Korean-style ribs, cucumber salad, and gochujang pasta offer contrasting preparations in this collection. Traditional dish names and clearly identified adaptations provide different ways to browse Korean flavors.

  • Stir-Fry

    Stir-frying brings cut ingredients into a hot pan for a quick cooking sequence. Salmon, chicken, noodles, and vegetables offer different combinations in these recipes, with their sauces and timing set out individually.

  • Thai

    Beef salad, iced tea, and other Thai or Thai-inspired preparations give this collection savory and sweet directions. Browse for a specific dish and its balance of ingredients rather than a single idea of Thai flavor.

  • Vietnamese

    Caramelized shrimp and ginger chicken meatballs represent this small Vietnamese collection. These preparations offer two entry points into the recipe box’s Vietnamese and Vietnamese-inspired dishes.
