Hey! East asian food is extremely delicious! It's full of spice and flavor. Traditionally, rice is a huge part of their cuisine. It has been made in China for over 10,000 years. Also, because some chinese are buddhists, vegetarinaism is practiced in some places throughout east asia. Tofu and soy products are common in China. For those who are not buddhist and eat meat, chicken and beef are common in their dishes. Most of the dishes in China are in bite sized pieces, so the traditional chopsticks can be used. One kind of bite sized food is sushi. Sushi is typically a small piece of fish with small vegetables surrounded in rice, and then rolled around in seaweed. It is served with soy sauce, wasabi, and a few slices of ginger to eat between pieces in order to refresh your taste for your next piece of sushi. There is another variety of sushi, that to us is a lot less appealing. It's made of rice, and then topped with a slice of raw fish. Chinese food has a different taste than many of us are used to. But beware, many chinese restaurants don't serve traditional chinese food. Much of it is chinese-american.
