Ingredients form the basis of any dish. It is important not only to know where ingredients come from, but also how to choose them, when to buy them if they are fresh, and how they are best used or prepared. Always try to use the best ingredients you can afford. This can be as easy -and economical-as buying produce that is in season. Or it can be as extravagant as drizzling a 40 year old balsamic vinegar.

This Asian-Recipes also includes essential information like the properties and descriptions of the ingredients, culinary uses, synonyms and suggested substitutions on every type of Asian food, from the daily staple, such as rice, noodles, to unusual fruit & vegetables and exotic fish.
