At work we have a group called Asian Pacific Americans which encompasses not only the East Asian countries that you mention but also India, Nepal, etc. In fact, we also recently welcomed the Middle Eastern and African countries into the group, too! Turns out that though they had a separate group but had such low numbers that they wanted to have the scale of another minority group and felt ours was the closest to their values. Now we're just a big old tapestry of different cultures and people :).Christine @ Christine's Kitchen Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369431019431906225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505861627696341959.post-63880208487702101132013-11-01T04:10:46.165-04:002013-11-01T04:10:46.165-04:00It's interesting -- and good! -- that you post...It's interesting -- and good! -- that you post a recipe for steamed fish that uses fish filets instead of whole fish (which scares most Westerners). But you should emphasize that one needs to use THICK fish filets; the thinner the filets used, the much less cooking time necessary.<br /><br />One other thing... would you not use the word "Asian" to describe things "East Asian" (i.e. those 4 countries that until the recent several hundred years shared the Chinese (or East Asian) common written language and so shared common culture: China, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. The broad term, "Asia," includes a multitude of countries, including India, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Nepal -- none of which have cooking traditions anything close to the East Asian tradition. I know lots of people -- especially American East Asians -- confuse these terms, but, you know... we should be more precise, don'cha think?stevchipmunknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505861627696341959.post-73671442949586787692011-05-03T22:03:45.956-04:002011-05-03T22:03:45.956-04:00@Joelen - Mmm I agree!
