HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Korean cuisine is another form of Asian cooking that can

fall under the umbrella term of Oriental cuisine. Kimchi,
a very popular dish, involves putting rotting vegetables
in a stew and burying the stew pot to make it ferment.
Rice, noodles, seaweed and snails are also used in
Korean cuisine, and Koreans' spicy barbecue is
beginning to catch on.
Korean cuisine is largely based on rice, vegetables, and
meats. Traditional Korean meals are noted for the
number of side dishes (반찬; banchan) that accompany
steam-cooked short-grain rice. Kimchi is almost always
served at every meal.Commonly used ingredients
include sesame oil, doenjang (fermented bean paste),
soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, gochujang
(fermented red chili paste) and cabbage.
The geography of the area that makes up "the Orient"

stretches from east Siberia south all the way to
Indonesia and includes Mongolia, Japan, Korea,
Vietnam, Thailand and most of China. Oriental cuisine
almost always refers to some type of Asian cooking from
the Far East region, eliminating most dishes from
Siberia and Indonesia.
REGIONAL INFLUENCES
• Pork is avoided in Malaysia & most of Indonesia
because of the Dominance of Islam
• Southeast Asian food originated in Thailand and

was considered the food of the peasants. From
Thailand, the cuisine spread to Cambodia, Laos,
Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The food in
southeast Asia was greatly influenced by Its
neighbors, southwest Asia and northeast Asia. But
Europe also contributed to southeast Asian
recipes and dishes. French, Dutch, and British
cuisines blended with Asian cuisine. When
southeast Asian countries were still colonies.
Vietnamese cuisine was especially influenced by
French food while Filipino food is connected to
Spanish and American Cuisine. Noodles and rice
are the main staples in southeast Asian cuisine.
Southeast Asian cuisine is based on rice and
Curries as well as yogurt. Stir frying is the most
popular cooking technique.
