Cuisines
Quick Answer: The national layer. A cuisine is the cooking of one country — though countries as large as China contain several distinct regional traditions that differ more from each other than many national cuisines do.
Southeast Asia
Vietnamese
Vietnamese cooking balances fresh herbs, fish sauce and light broths.
Thai
Thai cooking is built on four regional traditions — Central, Isan (northeast), Northern and Southern — each balancing sour, sweet, salty and spicy differently.
East Asia
Chinese
Chinese cooking is not one cuisine.
Japanese
Japanese cooking emphasises seasonality (旬), umami from dashi and fermentation, and restraint in seasoning.
Korean
Korean cooking is defined by fermentation (kimchi, gochujang, doenjang), grilling at the table, and a spread of many small dishes (banchan) rather than one centrepiece.
South Asia
