Okay. What's a good one?

Egg rolls.

thai curry

some plebs use soy sauce in it, but you're supposed to use fish sauce.

>>7011735
I don't know what you would name them in English, but dishes like this fried tofu which are dry obviously, clear broths for health that you don't want to make dark like bird's nest, and sweet dishes of course. I would not put soy sauce in sweet and sour sauce, but I think this varies.

>>7011735
Hotpot, soups, anything not involving meat or vegetable as the main ingredient, shellfish, BBQ.

>>7011735
Rice.

>>7011735

The majority of korean and vietnamese food does not use soy sauce, for a small sample

>>7011735

Dude, even general tso's chicken doesn't have soy sauce in the actual recipe. Putting soy sauce on everything is an American thing

>>7011764

>>7011774
I was about to say "all the ones that use fish sauce."

But Indian food is Asian, right? So there's half a million dishes right there that have never even seen soy sauce.

>>7011764
underrated post x 10000000 lmfao

>>7011949
General tso's is an American thing though

>>7012149
General Tso was Korean

why does kikkoman soy sauce have a weird rancidish smell?

>>7012161
It's fermented longer.

>>7011774
>thai curry
<asian

kikkoman a shit

>>7011764
I wish Lucy liu was my wife, I'd impregnate her so fast

>>7011735

I hate flyovers so fucking much

>>7011774
WTF Why would anyone use soy sauce in curry? The herbs and spices in the curry paste does not go with soy sauce. Thai cuisine mainly uses soy sauce in Chinese-influence dishes. Not even the Japs put soy sauce in their reiterations of curry.

>>7011949
This. Americans put soy sauce on top of fast Chinese food, soy sauce on top of the fried rice, chow mein and even the already excessively seasoned entrees. And then they will rant that instant ramen has too much sodium.

>>7012288
Idiot brit detected

>>7012204
Even Korean places in NYC use Yamasa.

>>7011949
There's like one other Chinese person on here that knows authentic Chinese food

>>7012149
>>7012154
General Tso was Chinese, from Hunan Province: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuo_Zongtang

General Tso's Chicken is also Chinese, invented by a Chinese chef from the same Hunan Province, although he was hiding out in Taiwan at the time.

>>7012277
actualy soy totaly has its place in curry, there are some thai,malay,and indo curies which totaly use sweet soy/kecap manis which ads a kind of robust and smokey sweetness to the curry

This is really good, watercress in butter and garlic.

>>7012329
Bullshit. You're a fucking fag from flavortown.

>>7011735
theres a lot of soyless asian cuisines.....persian food, turkic central asian food, pakistani/indian/bengali cuisine, hell techncaly middle eastern food is asian cuisine so theres a ton

>>7012355
no, i worked for 3 years in a thai kitchen and ,y boss was southern thai(stones throw from malaysia) so we ate curry with soy in it now and then

>>7012356
wtf? those are asian

>>7012365
Woudln't that be more of an addition then part of the cooking?

>>7012324
It's funny that nobody in mainland China knows about General Tso chicken

>>7012368
we added it to the cooking on stuff like massaman and hunglay,and some rendang recipees call for it in the cooking, just in small amounts tho....just to augment colour and sweetness not to make it taste strongly of soy

>>7012371
Their loss, then there's more Genl' Tso for me!

>>7012382
No, I can't see that added in. Some twat posted thai food earlier and the penang curry was pathetic, watery shit with carrots.

That's an afterthought, like salt and pepper shakers.

beef pho

question, /ck/

is there any good dish that involves soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi that doesn't involve seafood? Don't like seafood, but the others are amazing to me.

>>7012408
ur mums cunt is a good substitute m8

>>7012392
penang should be dry/oily and mosly meat heavy(no carrots, veg should be snake beans if anythings)

>>7012408
>>7012412
Wut anon said

>>7012416
I know that, it's funny seeing some renditions of it that are downright pathetic. I think that some places do that to not only water down the penang but also "water down" the ingredients such as meat.

Fuckin' pathetic.

>>7012423
i understand why they do it...its cause the first wave of thai imigrants were poor, lacked propper ingrediants, and had to acomodate western palates for the money.....this set a precident and subsequent thai imigrants cooked the same stuff becuase its what sells and what customers expect


its unfair but its how it is and its why it sucks that people like andy ricker get a liscense and awards for cooking authentic thai when we generaly havent given alot of thai people the same option

the thai ladys i worked for wouldnt serve the food they ate becuase the midwesterners we served wouldnt eat it...its about money and survival at the end of the day

>>7012427
Yeah but carrots in penang? no no and no!

>>7012427
I'm hearing violins, like you're the first and only...

>>7012430
yes, but if it was served how thais would eat it then it might not sell very well to as wide an audience

lets not judge people doing what they needed to do to survive especialy, also its not the worst tasting thing in the world so calm down

>>7012329
must be one of those places where the pad thai sauce tastes like ketchup

>>7012442
Someone sure as hell should judge that lame crap, that watery shit with carrots that some places call Thai Penang is full of shit.

You put on a nice sad sob story but the fact is that it's 99% of most Thai places, there a few in NYC that do it right, and it's not watery and there are no carrots, and there are no stupid sob stories or violins.

>>7012427
Fact is, once you're here in the USA, you don't have to do that bullshit anymore, so do something useful.

>>7012449
it totaly did, cause honkeys ate it up and cause boss lady hated padthai.....padthai is a sweet dhish and she was southern and liked her food hot....our curries were very good and our larb and yum was top noth(issan dishwasher and prep cook)

trying to sell authentic thai food to an audience with zero palate for it is a fuckig nightmare....midwesterners wont touch anything too hot/sour/fermented and any oily dry fry curies were a hit or miss for most

unless you work one of these places and actualy see understand the corner customers can back you into you cant judge

also the food we ate as staff was so off menu it was crazy(home made vinigers and fish sauce and such)

>>7012464
Me love you long tiem

>>7011735
Congee

>>7012430
>no no and no!

Cringeworthy. Are you some sort of Thai weeb? Have you ever been there?

>>7012495
For plain congee (just rice and water), certain groups may season it with soy sauce in their own bowl

For Southeast Asian style congee (with a savory broth and meat) they may add fermented soy beans as a topping.

Slightly off topic, what are some good uses for miso?

>>7012545
Use in marinade for a BBQ
Salad dressing

>>7012545
Put in ice cube trays to frezze up and use when you have a hangover.

Does there exist a european dish that doesn't use salt?

>>7012545
Soup, stew, stirfry, noodles.

Every single type of ramen except for Shouyu ramen. Most shabu shabu dishes. Tons of nabe dishes
