Mostly wanted are any kind (spicy or sweet) Asian dish recipes [b]but also feel free to post recipes of your own national foods if you're not asian![/b]

Feel free to share your favorite dish recipes below or PM them to me. ^^

[b]Please exclude[/b]
[i]- whole animals (like chicks boiled in an egg)[/i]
[i]- waste of animals (spit, poop, blood)[/i]
[i]- specific parts of animals (testicles, reproductive organs, bowels, brain, eyes, ...)[/i]
[i]- and insects.[/i]

(I guess I'm rather picky...)

Also, ingredients should be obtainable from Asia Stores or regular grocery stores in USA.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*___^^^^[b]Most important part[/b]^^^^___*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
VVV [b]for some extra info read below. Not neccessary though.[/b] VVV

As for now I can only cook Cocos Curry Chicken really.
In 2 weeks I'm finally gonna try to make Sushi myself and sometime later spring rolls.

I've been trying to look for asian recipes but most I get is sweet-sour, curry and peanut sauces/dishes.

Feel free to share any kind of recipe that you have experience with. Even if it's one I am/will be able to do I'm always up for new and interesting versions.
It's always nice to actually hear someone explain how they cook it themselves, much better than just having to follow some instructions especially when it asks you to use ingredients you can't even obtain.
With experience you also possibly learn how to replace an ingredient or how to alter a recipe to make it delicious nontheless.

I do have cooking experience thanks to my granny always letting me help her my whole life but it's "only" focussed on mostly German foods.

Examples of dishes I can cook (German names + pictures):

[quote=icyspell]I used brown onions, I think it's also possible to use purple onions.
Can also add sugar, forgot to mention that part.[/quote]
I guess I'll try purple onions with sugar.. if it all fails I can just drown the whole thing in cucumber

The French have colonized Vietnam for quite some time, so we have a lot of Vietnamese people opening French Bakeries. Here's a recipe I've made,

Apple Tart using pate millefueille

@icyspell: are the onions you use mild in taste? I can hardly imagine eating raw onion just like that, that stuff here turns my eyes into waterfalls @.@
sounds like it's worth a try though <.< once I find mild onions.. thanks<3 ^^

Ingredients:
Two-minute noodles, hot water and chopsticks, fork or whatever you want to use.

Method:
1. Pour hot water into two-minute noodle cup, along with flavouring and other stuff
2. Wait for two minutes with the lid on so the noodles get nice and soft or something
3. Slurp it all up and enjoy

Oh yes. Asian meals are yummy Darn I'm hungry now

@Nashi when someone tells you to boil something, do they need to tell you to put water in ?

@Nashi:
Oh dang I forgot to mention that this is a soup that you eat with rice. =P So yeah lots of water.
I boil it at maximum and I usually use like 1 or 2 tomatoes. Depends on what pot I'm using. I don't have exact measurements though I just do what ever looks like enough D:
You could also mash(not sure if this the right word) the tomatoes then boil them.

@timmybitty: @.@ so on medium or low heat? you can boil things on high too after all... if I were to simmer them I'd be less suspicious of it otherwise I got the feeling I'll have to add water. Sounds like you do need a lot of tomatos for that though. You leave the wet parts with the seeds inside in I guess?
@kunannnn: thing is that the tomato itself has a lot of water which after that time will be gone though. Oo tomatos aren't dry yanno and there wasn't an indication for adding any extra liquid
@HumanoidX: well I do like prawn... I'll eat it as long as it doesn't have its bowels/head still when I'm supposed to eat it... when it's fried with breading around I sometimes even nom the tails lol x.x

@cccurrified: How do you make those soups? o.o
and especially how do you make curry laksa? @.@ never had that

@icyspell: Def gotta try this... @.@sounds delicious... and how do you make thai onion salad? o:

@PoetryIsMeh: I've seen a few recipes with brown sugar before but I've never bought that in my life before... in which was is it different from white sugar? o.O
Sounds like it'd also taste good with wasabi instead of hot chili.
now I'm hungry for asian cucumber salad ; w ;

@kitchie3: I guess blood is a kind of "normal" ingredient, here we have a kind of wurst (whatever you may call it in English @.@) that has blood in it ([url=http://media.kuechengoetter.de/media/86/12202680112060/blutwurst.jpg]Blood wurst[/url]) and I've always been afraid of eating it... what flavor does the blood add? doesn't the result look rather yucky @.@
could I leave the blood away? I do like that there's vinegar in it.

@PolarBass: not the biggest fan of hotdogs.

@LEGENDairy: I'll try to look it up thanks ^^

@internet101: any kind of food really I don't care. I do love to try out new flavors/combinations, I'm open for almost anything.

@trashed: Yes feel free to post all your favy recipes no matter how hard or easy ^^

@GusDaBus: GREEN eggs?

@Kinic: already got both points thank you

@ehnogi: Sounds quite nommy but what "fresh green beans" exactly? The ones I know here ([url=http://www.kalorio.de/Img/BPics/Bohnen.jpg]Beans[/ur]) which are available in green, yellow and purple pretty much shouldn't be consumed raw.
Never had fish sauce looks like I will have to buy it.

[b]Thanks everyone for your input so far I appreciate it!<3<3<3[/b]

@timmybitty: Won't the tomatos and onions actually burn or do you add pre-cooked meat/fish? I'd think that if you boil that without any water/broth added for 10 minutes (depending on size of bits of meat/fish) it'll actually dry out and go black. Sounds yummy though (I love fish with lemon @.@)[/quote]

... boiling = there's water
If there's no water (or liquid of some kind) you're frying it

I like to make Papaya Salad. It's very simple, healthy, and really good.

Tools needed :

- Mortar / Pestle
- Either a heavy kitchen knife, or a vegetable shredder
- Potato peeler

Ingredients needed:

- 1 clove garlic (more or less; adjust to taste)
- 1 green papaya (shred only about 2 cups worth)
- fish sauce (to taste; start out with 2 tbspn)
- 4-5 cherry tomatoes
- 4-5 fresh green beans
- thai chilis (to taste; I put in a lot because I like spicy food)
- sugar (to taste; use a tbspn as a start)
- 1/2 lime

1. Peel papaya.
2. Shred 2 cups of papaya with either the knife or shredder [use a shredder; the knife is a pain in the ass]. They need to be thin shreds, but not thin to the point where they become mushy and watery.
3. With mortar / pestle, crush garlic, Thai chilis, and tomatoes (be careful w/ the tomatoes; they'll pop)
4. Add fish sauce and sugar; mix.
5. Add papaya, green beans, and squeeze the lime on top. Mix / crush.

That's it.

Chicken and corn soup .
Or chicken (white, not powder) pepper soup.
Or curry laksa. Just any curry, really.

Cut up some tomatoes then boil them till they're all mushy and pretty much not really there anymore.
Cut up some onions throw them in there
Let it boil for a bit
Then throw in some kinda of meat (I personally prefer Salmon but beef, pork and chicken work well as well)
Let it boil some more
Then add some lemon,and salt
