Sushi
Sushi can be prepared with either brown or white rice. It is often prepared with raw seafood, but some varieties of sushi use cooked ingredients, and many others are vegetarian. Sushi is often served with pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce. Daikon radish is popular as a garnish. Sushi is often confused with sashimi, a related Japanese dish consisting of thinly sliced raw fish or occasionally meat, and an optional serving of rice. Sushi originates in a Southeast Asian dish, known today as "narezushi" ( – "salted fish"), stored in fermented rice for possibly months at a time. The lacto-fermentation of the rice prevented the fish from spoiling; the rice would be discarded before consumption of the fish.
Sashimi
Sashimi (; , ) is a Japanese delicacy consisting of very fresh raw meat or fish sliced into thin pieces. The word "sashimi" means "pierced body", i.e. "刺身" = "sashimi", where 刺し = "sashi" (pierced, stuck) and 身 = "mi" (body, meat). This word dates from the Muromachi period, and was possibly coined when the word "切る" = "kiru" (cut), the culinary step, was considered too inauspicious to be used by anyone other than samurai. This word may derive from the culinary practice of sticking the fish's tail and fin to the slices for the purpose of identifying the fish being eaten. Another possibility for the name could come from the traditional method of harvesting.
Japanese cuisine
Japanese cuisine encompasses the regional and traditional foods of Japan, which have developed through centuries of social and economic changes. The is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes; there is an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. Side dishes often consist of fish, pickled vegetables, and vegetables cooked in broth. Seafood is common, often grilled, but also served raw as sashimi or in sushi. Seafood and vegetables are also deep-fried in a light batter, as tempura. Apart from rice, staples include noodles, such as soba and udon. Japan also has many simmered dishes such as fish products in broth called oden, or beef in sukiyaki and nikujaga.
Shiso
Perilla frutescens var. "crispa", also called shiso (, from Japanese ) is a variety of species "Perilla frutescens" of the genus "Perilla", belonging to the mint family, Lamiaceae. Shiso is a perennial plant that may be cultivated as an annual in temperate climates. The plant occurs in red (purple-leaved) and green-leaved forms. There are also frilly ruffled-leaved forms, called "chirimen-jiso", and forms that are red only on top, called "katamen-jiso". This herb was previously known as the "beefsteak plant", a mostly obsolete name. It is sometimes referred to by its genus name, "Perilla", which is ambiguous, as the name also includes the "Perilla frutescens", which is a different culinary cultigen.
Donburi
The simmering sauce varies according to season, ingredients, region, and taste. A typical sauce might consist of "dashi" flavored with soy sauce and mirin. Proportions vary, but there is normally three to four times as much dashi as soy sauce and mirin. For "oyakodon", Tsuji (1980) recommends dashi flavored with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. For "gyūdon", Tsuji recommends water flavored with dark soy sauce and mirin. Donburi can be made from almost any ingredients, including leftovers. Traditional Japanese donburi include the following:  Gyūdon, literally beef bowl, is a Japanese dish consisting of a bowl of rice topped with beef and onion simmered in a mildly sweet sauce flavored with dashi (fish and seaweed stock), soy sauce and mirin (sweet rice wine).
Kuai (dish)
Kuai was a Chinese dish consisting of finely cut strips of raw fish or meat, which was popular and commonly eaten in the early Chinese dynasties. According to the "Book of Rites" compiled between 202 BC and 220 AD, "kuai" consists of small thin slices or strips of raw meat, which are prepared by first thinly slicing the meat and then cutting the thin slices into strips. In modern times, the dishes are more often referred to as "raw fish slices" () or as "yusheng" (). The type of fish commonly used in ancient times included carp (鯉) and mandarin fish (鳜), while in modern times salmon (鮭) is commonly used.
Hoe (food)
Hoe () refers to several varieties of raw food dishes in Korean cuisine. There are uncooked "hoe" () as well as blanched "sukhoe" (). "Hoe" (), the raw fish or meat dish, can be divided into "saengseon-hoe" (), filleted raw fish, and "yukhoe" (), sliced raw meat. "Saengseon-hoe" () can be either "hwareo-hoe" () made from freshly killed fish, or "seoneo-hoe" () made using aged fish. "Mulhoe" () is a cold raw fish soup. "Sukhoe" () is a blanched fish, seafood, meat, or vegetable dish. "Ganghoe" () is a dish of rolled and tied ribbons made with blanched vegetables such as water dropworts and scallions.

Korean cuisine
Korean cuisine has evolved through centuries of social and political change. Originating from ancient agricultural and nomadic traditions in the Korean peninsula and southern Manchuria, Korean cuisine has evolved through a complex interaction of the natural environment and different cultural trends. Korean cuisine is largely based on rice, vegetables, and meats. Traditional Korean meals are noted for the number of side dishes (반찬; "banchan") that accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice. Kimchi is served at nearly every meal. Commonly used ingredients include sesame oil, "doenjang" (fermented bean paste), soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, "gochujang" (fermented red chili paste) and napa cabbage.
List of Japanese condiments
This is a list of Japanese condiments by type. Mirin is an essential condiment used in Japanese cuisine. It is a kind of rice wine similar to sake, but with a lower alcohol content—14% instead of 20%. There are three general types. The first is "hon mirin" (lit. true mirin), which contains alcohol. The second is "shio mirin", which contains alcohol as well as 1.5% salt to avoid alcohol tax. The third is "shin mirin" (lit. new mirin), or "mirin-fu chomiryo" (lit. mirin-like seasoning), which contains less than 1% alcohol yet retains the same flavour. Rice vinegar is a very mild and mellow vinegar and ranges in colour from colourless to pale yellow.
Filipino cuisine
Filipino cuisine (Filipino: "Lutuing Filipino" or "Pagkaing Filipino") is composed of the cuisines of 135 distinct ethno-linguistic tribes found within the Philippine archipelago, however, majority of mainstream Filipino dishes that compose Filipino cuisine are from the cuisines of the Bikol, Chabakano, Hiligaynon, Ilokano, Kapampangan, Meranaw, Pangasinan, Sebwano (or Bisaya), Tagalog, and Waray ethno-linguistic tribes. The style of cooking and the food associated with it have evolved over many centuries from their Austronesian origins (shared with Malaysian and Indonesian cuisines) to a mixed cuisine of Indian, Chinese, Spanish, and American influences, in line with the major waves of influence that had enriched the cultures of the archipelago, as well as others adapted to indigenous ingredients and the local palate.
Malaysian cuisine
Malaysian cuisine consists of cooking traditions and practices found in Malaysia, and reflects the multiethnic makeup of its population. The vast majority of Malaysia's population can roughly be divided among three major ethnic groups: Malays, Chinese and Indians. The remainder consists of the indigenous peoples of Sabah and Sarawak in East Malaysia, the Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia, the Peranakan and Eurasian creole communities, as well as a significant number of foreign workers and expatriates. As a result of historical migrations, colonisation by foreign powers, and its geographical position within its wider home region, Malaysia's culinary style in the present day is primarily a melange of traditions from its Malay, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian and ethnic Bornean citizens, with heavy to light influences from Thai, Portuguese, Dutch, and British cuisines, to name a few.
Congee
Congee or conjee () is a type of rice porridge or gruel popular in many Asian countries, especially East Asia. When eaten as plain rice congee, it is most often served with side dishes. When additional ingredients, such as meat, fish, and flavorings, are added while preparing the congee, it is most often served as a meal on its own, especially for the ill. Names for congee are as varied as the style of its preparation. Despite its many variations, it is usually a thick porridge of rice largely disintegrated after prolonged cooking in water. While congee is a staple breakfast dish in China, it is called "congee" only in Guangdong, and is known by other local names such as "bái zhōu" (白粥 literally "white porridge") in Central and Northern China.
