Note: I saw topics for Junk Food and oddities like Nattou, but I never saw any topic for just your favorite sorts of Asian food. Let's chat about what you like to eat!
Myself, my mum fixes this yummy spicy chicken (I usually don't like spicy stuff, but this chicken is to die for), tofu when it's fried, soy beansprouts - steamed and spiced, and rice. It's heaven when she makes them all at once, like she did today.
Ah, I love bulgogi (a Korean dish...reminds me of Mongolian beef) and teriyaki. My Korean imu (auntie) has an Asian food place on main street and we go there all the time for yummy food. It's also the only authentic Asian place in my town...unless you count that silly China Star that saturates everything with soy sauce and calls it Asian.
The Asian potstickers (we call them mondu, but I'm not sure what you'd call them in Japan...odango?...they have like meat and vegetables in them and are sort of brownish or tan depending on how you cook them) are so wonderful too.
Tell me, what do you guys like? Any suggestions to try things? I've started to get interested in Asian food and what else is there to do but try new things?

Ooh, I love love love love LOVE yakisoba! whee
But my current favorite is yakiudon! I get it every time I'm at a Japanese restaurant, along with a cucumber roll (haven't progressed to fish yet sweatdrop ) and gyouza.
I also love sukiyaki, and the awesome-beyond-awesome beef you get at this one restaurant in Kyoto mall...

Akira_Hoshino Ooh, I love love love love LOVE yakisoba! whee But my current favorite is yakiudon! I get it every time I'm at a Japanese restaurant, along with a cucumber roll (haven't progressed to fish yet sweatdrop ) and gyouza. I also love sukiyaki, and the awesome-beyond-awesome beef you get at this one restaurant in Kyoto mall... It's sad...I don't eat fish (I hate the way seafood meat tastes.) I don't think I could have survived in an Indian family or in a Japanese fisher family back in the old days... I can eat a bit of salmon sometimes, but only if it's pretty thickly seasoned and I'm feeling hungry. What exactly is yakiudon....gyouza...and sukiyaki? I think I have a vague (so vague, I'm not even sure what I mean by that!) idea of what sukiyaki is, but I need clarifying.

Personally, I hate soy sauce and I'm also Asian. xD

I LOVE yakisoba. I had it once at my friend's house and it was fantastic! I'm going to go to the Japanese store in town one of these days to try some more of the food. Korean dishes sound interesting too, I would definitely try them if I ever got the opportunity.
I also love onigiri. Onigiri is my favorite Asian food. The only problem is, I have trouble shaping the rice! But I still love it regardless.

I tried kimchee (Korean pickled spiced radish/cabbage) and the bitter taste stayed in my mouth for longer than any other thing I've eaten. It was really gross, but I think I want to aquire the taste so I can gross people out wink .
Washed kimchee is equally as bad. I can deal with the spicyness (which is really saying something because I hate spicy stuff), but the bitterness is what really gets me.

che_hyun It's sad...I don't eat fish (I hate the way seafood meat tastes.) I don't think I could have survived in an Indian family or in a Japanese fisher family back in the old days... I can eat a bit of salmon sometimes, but only if it's pretty thickly seasoned and I'm feeling hungry. What exactly is yakiudon....gyouza...and sukiyaki? I think I have a vague (so vague, I'm not even sure what I mean by that!) idea of what sukiyaki is, but I need clarifying. Yakisoba is the Japanese take on panfried noodles. Yakiudon, I assume, is the same thing, only using udon (thick noodles) instead of soba (thin noodles). I personally don't like it much - the Japanese put really weird spices on it and I think it tastes weird. I love gyouza! They're panfried dumplings - some people call them potstickers - you can usually find them in Chinese restaurants. Sukiyaki is really good too. It's kind of like shabu shabu in that you cook meat in a pot that's heated in the center of the table, but sukiyaki uses a certain kind of sauce instead of water and... clam juice or whatever shabu shabu uses. They're both really tasty, and I wish I were rich so I could afford to eat some every now and then. sweatdrop Mm... Personally speaking, I am a big fan of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. It's wonderful stuff, especially with mayonaise on top! This is coming from someone who hates mayo, BTW. I also love octopus, but I hate the batter used in takoyaki. I really want to learn how to cook some octopus dishes, but I haven't been able to find any suitable recipes yet. Niku jaga (beef and potato stew) and Japanese curry are also really good.... but I'm only mentioning those because I know how to make 'em myself. 4laugh

I have to agree with all the people who like Bulgogi. IT'S AWESOME! blaugh But to tell you the truth, my favourite Japanese food, that I've personally tried, is Tomo Ramen with Chuushyuu (BBQ) pork, a serve of takoyaki, some unagi (eel sushi!) it just tastes like marinated fish, this fried tofu and it was with some sauce, but I dont remember what it was called and... Katsudon. I have to go with Katsudon.
And to the person who was talking about acquiring tastes for kim chimpanzee or whatever the hell that bitter crap is called... Are you INSANE?! Hey, I like freaking people out as much as Michael Jackson does, but actually LIKING kim chee is... weird. I just don't like the taste of it AT ALL. No offense to the people who like it.
So. In concern of your mental health and for the sake of your taste buds...
Go with God. And no, I'm not one of those Jesus freaks. But I am serious. Divine intervention must have done something. Sorry, it must DO something.

Rindi I love gyouza! They're panfried dumplings - some people call them potstickers - you can usually find them in Chinese restaurants. Yes, that's what I meant when I said mondu. That's what Koreans call them. I like them a lot too. I just tried...oh what's the word...Tempura! I just tried Tempura shrimp today. I LOVE IT. I've never had the guts to eat regular cooked shrimp...it made me sick...but Tempura Shrimp is totemo oishii!
