The main characteristics of Korean diet are: high protein, more vegetables, light taste, no greasy taste, and mainly cold and spicy taste. Koreans have used rice as their staple food since ancient times. The dishes are mainly stewed and baked, and cooking is basically not done. Koreans prefer noodles, beef, chicken and dog meat to steamed bread, mutton and duck.

Koreans generally like to eat cold dishes. Cold salad is made by cutting vegetables directly or blanching them with boiling water and adding seasonings. There are also raw fish, fish and shrimp sauce and other dishes. Raw fish is made by slicing raw meat, raw fish, etc., adding seasoning, shredded radish, pear, etc., and pouring vinegar sauce or hot sauce.

Soup is also an essential part of eating. It is usually cooked with various raw materials such as vegetables, mountain vegetables, meat, soy sauce, salty salt, vegetarian food and so on.

Koreans have the habit of eating four meals a day, which are arranged in the morning, noon, evening and night respectively. Koreans eat with spoons and chopsticks. Everyone has his own rice bowl and soup bowl, and all other dishes are placed in the middle of the table for everyone to enjoy. Koreans are also very particular about the use of rice bowls, which are divided into male, female and children. Koreans pay attention to thrift, whether they eat for themselves or entertain the poor, they try their best to eat up all the food.

introduction of Japanese food culture

when it comes to food, it is not only Japanese-style meals with rice as the staple food and vegetables, fish and meat as the non-staple food, but also China meals in western Europe are generally popular, and you can taste a variety of meals in Japan. Japan is a country with abundant high-quality water resources and perfect sanitary facilities, so tap water can be drunk anywhere in Japan. Modern Japanese culture is even more colorful. While studying the traditional Japanese culture since ancient times, such as tea ceremony and flower path, girls also dance disco. It's not unusual to see the city, ancient temples and high-rise buildings built next to each other. Therefore, modern Japanese culture is formed by combining ancient, emerging, western and oriental cultures.

Japanese people generally like to eat raw fish, so sushi covered with sashimi is the most popular food in Japan.

Japanese cuisine pays great attention to maintaining the original flavor of food, and does not advocate adding too many seasonings, mainly light. In particular, there is a high demand for the color of dishes. Not only are all kinds of very delicate containers used to hold food, but also the shape, arrangement and color matching of food are carefully considered.

Thai cuisine is internationally renowned. Whether the taste is spicy or light, harmony is the guiding principle for every dish. In essence, Thai cooking is organically combined by the influence of the East and the West with hundreds of years of history, forming a unique Thai diet. The characteristics of Thai cuisine depend on the chef, diners, occasions and cooking places to satisfy everyone's appetite. Thai cooking originally reflected the characteristics of aquatic lifestyle. Aquatic animals, plants and herbs are the main ingredients. Avoid using large pieces of meat. Later, the influence led to the use of quite large pieces of meat in the Thai diet.

Introduction of Thai food culture

Because of the Buddhist background, Thais avoid using large pieces of animal meat. Large pieces of meat are chopped and mixed with herbs and spices. Traditional cooking methods in Thailand are steaming, baking or barbecue. Influenced by China, the methods of frying, frying and frying were introduced. Since the 17th century, cooking methods have been influenced by Portugal, Holland, France and Japan. In the late 17th century, Portuguese missionaries got used to the taste of red pepper in South America, so they introduced red pepper into Thai food.

Thais are very good at "Siam-Yi Shi" foreign cooking methods and substitute some ingredients. Butter used in Indian diet was replaced by coconut oil, and coconut juice replaced other dairy products. Reduce the use of too strong pure spices and increase fresh herbs, such as lemongrass and galangal. Finally, use less spices in Thai curry and increase the use of fresh herbs. Usually, people know that Thai curry has a strong spicy taste, but it lasts for a short time, while other curries have a strong spicy taste, which lasts for a long time. Thai food is served not in a certain order, but at once, so that diners can enjoy the complementary and combined flavors.

A complete Thai meal should include a soup, a curry with seasoning, fish and vegetables. Salads with spices can replace curry dishes. Soup can also be spicy, but curry should be replaced by non-spicy dishes. Every dish and the whole meal must be coordinated in taste and material.

Thai food and SPA

Thailand's SPA industry is forming a unique, fresh and energetic Thai style, a truly fashionable and healthy meal.

The ancient healthy food usually refers to lettuce and carrots on the plate, and now they have entered the ranks of healthy cuisine in SPA. However, today, the chefs of Thai SPA cuisine have found many fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs in the garden and processed them to appear on the dining table.

Thai food is one of the best cuisines in the world, and it is also the most innovative cuisine in Asia in terms of quality and production methods. Now, those healthy foods are replacing the traditional Thai cooking methods, and guests can expect some very special foods.

For those rare SPA cuisines, Andrew, the leader of healthy food, unveiled a myth: unlike vegetarian food, some raw materials are not used to cook "fish" and "meat" foods. In any case, healthy food is often combined with many vegetables to balance the needs of protein. Chefs' innovation is to cook vegetables, fruits and herbs into healthy food with delicious fish and meat.

SPA cuisine is healthy and nutritious, which integrates three basic factors of cooking, namely, reducing fat, reducing salt and reducing sugar, into simplicity and health.

SPA cuisine is to choose organic raw materials, such as cooking dishes with fruits and vegetables instead of unhealthy foods that use monosodium glutamate, soda and food color to change the taste and color of raw materials. Instead, healthy and nutritious materials, such as pure olive oil, apple juice, herbs and sea salt, can enhance the taste of dishes and have medicinal effects.

The preparation of food is very important. Frying and using microwave oven are absolutely forbidden. Food should be cooked mainly by baking, frying and steaming.

With the above main guidelines, it is not surprising that the SPA industry in Thailand is developing rapidly. Chefs have their own unique views on the understanding of SPA cuisine.

may be appetizers, side dishes, side dishes and/or snacks before meals, including spring rolls, barbecue strips and popcorn cakes with herbs, which embodies the interesting and creative character of Thai people.

Salad

What is important is the coordination of various flavors and herbal taste. The main tastes are sour, sweet and salty. According to the texture and occasion of meat, the degree of spicy is different.

ordinary dish

a sweet and sour dish, a soft fried egg and a stir-fried dish are a complete meal.

dipping sauce

dipping sauce is a bit complicated. Accompanied by vegetables and meat, it can be used as the main course of a meal. When the dipping sauce is thin, it can be designed as a salad. The special simple dipping sauce is made of red pepper, garlic, dried shrimp, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and shrimp sauce.

soup

on average, each person should have a soup and rice for a meal. Traditional Thai soup is unique because it has more flavors and ingredients than other foods.

curry

most non-Thai curries are made of powdered or dried spices, but the main ingredient of Thai curries is fresh herbs. Simple curry paste includes dried Chili, onion and shrimp paste. More complicated curries include garlic, galangal, coriander root, lemon grass, kaffir lime peel and pepper seeds.

dessert

How to eat and order Thai food

Thai food uses forks and spoons. Even if there is only one dish, such as fried rice with meat or roast duck rice, it is cut into small pieces or blocks, which avoids using a knife. Spoons are used to send food to the mouth.

It is best to eat Thai food in groups of two or more people, mainly because the more people eat, the more dishes they order. Generally speaking, two people eat, except their own rice, order three dishes, three people order four dishes, and so on. Diners choose what they need from the dishes they enjoy, and usually add it to their own rice. Soup is enjoyed with rice. Don't order soup separately, but enjoy it with other dishes. And don't order spicy dishes separately. Spicy dishes should be "neutralized" with mild dishes to avoid discomfort caused by being too spicy.

The ideal Thai food is a harmonious mixture of spicy, sweet and sour food, with good color, fragrance and taste. A typical Thai meal should include a soup (perhaps bitter gourd stuffed with chopped pork), a steamed dish (mussels in curry sauce), a stir-fried dish (fish and ginger), a hot salad (beef slices with lettuce, onion, red pepper, mint and lemon juice) and various seasonings for dipping food. After the meal, there are desserts and/or fresh fruits, such as mango, durian, pineapple, papaya, grape or melon.
