What's everyone's favorite asian dish (Chinese, Japanese, or Korean or one from each)?

 

Korean: My fav is Bul go gi .... Korean BBQ'ed beef, with kimchi, and Saki on the side. I'm addicted to Korean food. I was told by a Korean waiter that I was weird, because not many Americans like kimchi, but I ask for seconds, and thirds of it hehehehe I buy it in bulk from the Korean store here in NY. I love it. I also shop there regularly for groceries.

 

Chinese: I like all kinds of Chinese food. Not as addicted to it as I am Korean food, though.

 

Japanese: Sushi, saki

 

 

Sushi, Sake (served hot) & edamame!

 

 

lets not forget southeast asia! yumyum, on the thai/cambodian/vietnamese everthing! i like it hot!

Yeah, but how much of the "americanized" chinese food is REALLY chinese food?

 

I kind of doubt they smother a battered, deepfried piece of meat in a thick sweet sauce. Otherwise, they would have the same weight problem the "average" american does.

Muaythai,

 

Oh, I forgot thai food. Sorry. I donno the thai name for it, but I love the spicy beef. I also like it hot

 

I can't find a Chinese place that makes good General Tou's chicken. It's supposed to be spicy, but I never get it spicy

 

I agree that most Chinese food in America is "Americian-ized" but it's still good hehehehe

None I hate the stuff. Man did I suffer when I was in Japan. I hate seafood and they love it.

 

I ended up eating lots of rice and sneaking to a steak restaurant when I could LOL

 

 

I really like Kalamari (however thats spelled) raw.

 

And I also like anything thats deep fried and dipped in Sauce except Crab Rangoon...

 

 

I like chicken and mushrooms or sushi.

 

 

Well if I am eating specifically Korean I have to have bul go gi. And I have had the authentic dish in Korea. But in general my favorite asian dish is sesame chicken. Now that you mention it I do wonder how authentic what I am getting at my local shop is.

 

 

Hehe I love Japanese food... miso soup, sashimi, chicken katsu, tempura, all those udon and soba soups with seaweed, raw egg, etc, not to mention the good old ramen.

 

I love those set lunch/dinner boxes with the little square compartments with the range of dishes in them.

 

I think the Japanese food we have in Australia is fairly authentic. I introduced one of my friends to Japanese food (other than the ubiquitous sushi roll) just before he left for Japan to teach English for 6 months. Now he's back he has a passion for Japanese food, and recognizes the stuff on the menus here... he was pretty much eating the same stuff as you get at the variety of Japanese restaurants/cafes over here.

 

On the other hand my dad went to China and Hong Kong, and I gathered that the most "traditional" Chinese food there was the roadside noodle soup vendor, who would serve his own special recipe from a small stall.
