               Oriental Cuisine 

     Oriental cuisine means different things depending on location.  

    Oriental cuisine can actually refer to very different styles of Asian cooking depending on the nation or 
    area. The Oriental section of Asia covers a huge chunk of eastern Asia known as the Far East, and thus 
    encompasses a wide range of culinary traditions. What might be called Oriental cooking in one nation 
    might be considered something else in another nation. 

    Geography 

    The geography of the area that makes up "the Orient" stretches from east Siberia south all the way to 
    Indonesia and includes Mongolia, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and most of China. Oriental cuisine 
    almost always refers to some type of Asian cooking from the Far East region, eliminating most dishes 
    from Siberia and Indonesia. 

    Chinese Cuisine 

    There are many types of Chinese cuisine, because different areas of China can have distinctly different 
    styles of cooking. Many times when someone in Europe or America thinks of Oriental food, Chinese food 
    comes to mind, with its use of chicken, rice, vegetables, sauces and exotic ingredients. Chinese food 
    qualifies as a type of Oriental cuisine. 

    Japanese Cuisine 

    Japanese cuisine also is a type of Oriental cuisine. Japanese culinary tradition makes heavy use of fish, as 
    well as sushi and other seafood. This cooking has a very distinct taste and style compared to many other 
    types of Asian cooking from the Far East area, because there is less frying and more careful preparation 
    of steamed or even raw foods. 

    Korean Cuisine 

    Korean cuisine is another form of Asian cooking that can fall under the umbrella term of Oriental 
    cuisine. Kimchi, a very popular dish, involves putting rotting vegetables in a stew and burying the stew 
    pot to make it ferment. Rice, noodles, seaweed and snails are also used in Korean cuisine, and Koreans' 
    spicy barbecue is beginning to catch on. 

    Southeast Asian Cuisine 

    Cuisine from Southeast Asia also qualifies as Oriental food, with Thai and Vietnamese being the two that 
    are most well known in Western nations. Various noodles, curries and hot spices help distinguish 
    Southeast Asian cooking from that of some of the other Oriental nations that make up the Far East. 

    Location Matters 

    While Oriental cuisine is a broad term that can cover many styles of cooking, what exactly falls under 
    "Oriental" can also depend on the location. In many parts of Asia, there are still advertisements for 
    "Asian food," but in China this might mean Korean or Japanese food, while in Vietnam it might mean 
    Chinese or Japanese food, and in Japan it could mean Thai or Mongolian. From that standpoint, what 
    exactly counts as "Oriental" in Asia varies by country.
