Answer 9

theres not really anything called 'chinese food'

china has several regions each with their very own (and unique) cuisine. for example.

There is the Canoton Province in the south, where traditional foods, are mostly fish, and vegetables. sweet dishes with fruit. but not at all spicy dishes.

There is the Beijing area, where a lot of china's fried dishes have their origins. Think for example of Peking duck, but also chicken nuggets (or atleast the chinese version of them. (chui yim kai))

shanghai Again also has a lot of fish dishes. then there is the Szechuan kitchen, which spans multiple provinces of the west. up againt nepal and mongolia. These dishes are usually quite sharp, and spicy.

and thats just china alone. Asia itself has many many many many more varieties of cuisines, that are all very unique. Japanese (lots of fish), Korean (live squids, dog meat, and fish) but also indian, with its many spicy curries. or indonesian, with a lot of coconut, and spicy dishes.

and tehcnically speaking, you could count the arabian peninsula as asia. which would mean dishes like cous-cous also belong under the devision of 'asian cuisine'

Answer 10

No. China is PART OF Asia.

Asian comprises more than Chinese. There is a variety of cooking styles and tastes and based ingredients. South East Asian cuisine is more aromatic than Chinese and Indian _ which is also ASIAN - is even more aromatic and tend to be extreme in taste and smell even more so. Locality and climate also influence the type of taste and ingredients used.

Ever try Thai, Burmese or Indian food? These are totally different to Chinese food.

Answer 11

It also includes any foods from Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and SE asia.  And they use many fermented flavorings, ginger, soy, and several exotic vegetables.

Answer 12

Yes most of it is asian food. Good Luck!

Answer 13

No because asia spans from India (spicy, fairly vegetarian meals) toJapan, with Sushi etc., and Chinese food is mild (sometimes hot depending on the region).

So in Asia the types of food do range a lot.

Answer 14

no
