Some Chinese, Korean and Mongolian dishes?

Question:


I'm going to start a new YouTube channel, dedicated towards East Asian cuisines.

Can anyone give me recipes for some easy Chinese, Korean and Mongolian (real Mongolian) and Japanese dishes? As a starter (I'm 15 and I don't drive yet).

Answer:


I love cooking Korean Miso Soup, it's very easy and delicious if you like spicy food (though you don't have to add chilli). The recipe can be found here: http://allrecipes.com.au/recipe/1769/kor…

As China is a very large country, encompassing many cultures, there is a huge variety of cuisines to choose from. I suggest reading about different areas of China and selecting one you find interesting; then you can teach your viewers a little about the culture your dish comes from. I really like Uyghur cuisine, from XinJiang province. Here is a page of recipes from XinJiang: http://blogs.princeton.edu/pia/personal/…

My favourite Japanese dish is Oyakodon, a chicken and egg dish that's very simple to prepare. Here's one recipe I've found online: http://japanesefood.about.com/od/ricebow…

Regarding Mongolia, I know stews are a large part of the cuisine, but I've already given you a few soupy recipes, so here's one for boortsog, which is a Mongolian dessert pastry, comparable to doughnuts. http://shardsofmongolia.blogspot.com/200…

Good luck!
