Asian cuisine is different from other cuisines. It is unique and culturally of Asian. That attracts many tourists to Asia and enjoy Asian cuisine.

1. What is Asian cuisine?

Asian cuisine includes several major regional cuisines: East Asian, Southeast Asian, South Asian, Central Asian, and Middle Eastern / Western Asian. 

Cooking is one of the oldest of human activities. When human evolution was at the hunter-gatherer stage, cooking was very simple - kill something, throw it on fire along with whatever vegetables and fruits were found that day, and eat. Spices and cooking equipment were rather simple at the time and there probably was not much in the average diet back then. Since those very early beginnings, cooking has become almost an art form but still remains a fundamental part of our everyday lives.

Although many Asian cultures share the tradition of gathering the family or clan together to socialize or celebrate a large meal, the various cultures of Asia each develop their own ethnic cuisine through the interaction of history, environment, and culture. 

Most dishes are simple and easy to make. A bowl of rice, for instance, taken with stir-fried vegetables would make an easy-to-make, nutritious, and tasty dish. The greens are always crunchy, low-fat and very healthy. Other items like soup, bread, and rice will always make one feel full for a longer time. 

One of the things which make unique of Asian food is chopstick. Its true origins are unknown, and Chinese legend notes that the philosopher Confucius, living in China around 500 BC, influenced the development of chopsticks through his non-violent teachings. The widely-accepted belief was that because knives were associated with war and death, Confucius urged his followers not to use them at the dinner table, which supposedly led to the invention of chopsticks as a substitute.
