A Tour Around Asian Cuisine
Being the home to many cultures, it is no secret that Asian cuisine holds an abundance of rich regional cuisines. Its use of ingredients include rice, garlic, ginger, chilies, dried onions, sesame seeds, soy, and tofu; with steaming stir and deep frying as common cooking methods.
So if you are booking your taste buds a round trip ticket around Asian-infused dishes, then make sure you allow them the pleasure of tingling dance with these recipes.
In addition to this creamy Carrot and Sweet Potato Thai Soup, my love for Asian food led me into falling in love with a creative spin on traditional food: Chinese Mushroom Chicken Over Beef Hotlink Rice.
Also, an Asian inspired dinner wouldn’t be the same without some golden crispy Air-Fried Cilantro Chicken Egg Rolls. I even presented the best of both worlds with my Beef Shawarma Egg Rolls. Now THAT’S something worth trying!
