Bon appetite!
It is a fact that sushi has now escaped the borders of Japan and has conquered the world.
But its history does not begin around the millennium when the West began to love it, but it is more than a millennium and although you rightly consider the Land of the Rising Sun to be the world capital of sushi, in fact its roots are found in the rice fields of China in a dish of fermented rice and salted fish. That "ancient sushi" was called narezushi and the strange thing was that the rice was not eaten, but was only used to be able to preserve the fish and prevent bacteria from growing.

The 10 most characteristic dishes of Asian cuisine
THAILAND
Tom Yam Goong
Here we are dealing with the national flavor of Thailand, thanks to the generous use of aromatic herbs. Lemongrass, linden, galangal and shallots provide the aromas, with chilli and fish sauce giving it that extra kick. The main ingredient is jumbo shrimp and mushrooms. Its taste is a unique combination of spicy and sour and is an ideal start to a meal and especially when combined with rice it can become a worthy main course.
JAPAN
Ramen
Traditional Japanese soup based on meat broth, served with noodles and includes various toppings such as eggs, vegetables, pickles and meat. It comes in different versions and variations, depending on where in Japan the recipe comes from. Shōyu is one of her most basic recipes (and probably the oldest) and includes chicken stock, vegetables and plenty of soy sauce. The most famous place in Japan for its ramen is Sapporo.
CHINA
A typical example is the famous Peking duck traditionally served with spring onions and hoisin sauce. The region is also famous for its herbs as well as hot and sweet and sour dishes. Some of the typical products produced here are corn, wheat and wheat products such as noodles and dumplings, soybeans, bok choy, cabbages, root vegetables, Chinese dates, apples, chestnuts, garlic, onions, etc. In the region we find lamb dishes, grilled meats - in which the Mongolian influences are evident - and pot dishes with a variety of spice mixes.
VIETNAM
Pho (noodle soup)
Pho is the classic Vietnamese noodle soup and is almost synonymous with Vietnamese food. You will find it everywhere in Vietnam, from the stalls of street vendors to the menu in fine restaurants. You will usually find it with beef or chicken and some herbs.
TA'I'VAN
Omelet with oysters
This is a snack that shows the richness of Taiwan: you get something from the sea and something from the land. The eggs are the ideal "wrapper" for the small oysters that are easily found around the island, while the starch added from the sweet potato gives the whole a sticky, pleasant texture. So it was more than expected that this dish was chosen as Taiwan's national dish in a gallop held a few years ago.
SINGAPORE
Singapore is famous for its food which is a mix of Chinese, Japanese and Indian cuisine. Try the famous local dishes such as Chili crab, Chicken Rice, Curry Fish, Satay, Noodles and Curry Puffs. If you happen to be there in July, don't miss the Singapore Taste Festival .

S. KOREA
Bibimbap (Mixed Rice)
In Korean "bibim" means "mixed" and "bap" means rice. All the ingredients except the meat (which is optional) are prepared in advance so you can add them at room temperature on top of the hot rice. Then you fry and add meat and a fried egg on top. Bibimbap is usually served with a spicy gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste) sauce.
PHILIPPINES
Adobo
It is a "national" dish that you will find in various variations throughout the country, from the smallest neighborhood restaurant to the most luxurious hotel. The meat or fish, as well as the vegetables of your choice, are first marinated in garlic, vinegar and soy sauce, then enchanted in oil and then simmered in the remaining marinade. Served with plenty of white rice.
INDONESIA
Beef rendang
This dish comes from Padang in Sumatra and you should know that the local food is famous for how rich and spicy it tastes. Rendang in particular, is Padang's most famous curry , but without the broth, and definitely not one of the everyday foods, as it requires time and effort. Its secret lies in the sauce, which when cooked makes the beef particularly tender. There is also its... dried version, which is kept until the next important celebration.
BANGLADESH

Foods can be prepared just as easily by a housewife as by a professional cook.
The important factors are the correct ratio of ingredients and spices and the correct observance of the time gaps during their preparation.
An essential factor in cooking is the right ingredients and spices, which are now available even outside Bangladesh
