Do i need a wok to make asian food? what a simple asian dish i can make? what in a spring roll? ?!
what kind of dough could i buy to make a Spring roll Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
1!. to make asian food depends on which kind of cooking method!. usually a wok is used when stir frying or deep frying!. because of the shape, is it easier to control the heat and the amount of oil used when stir frying!. as for deep frying, it allows the food to maintain their original shape rather than having a flat surface when u use a flat pan or pot!.
2!. simple asian dish can vary in different cultures and types!. for example
2!.1 the simple northern chinese could be the spicy sauce noodles!. you'll just require the brown coloured dark soy sauce (you can use premium soy sauce as replacement), caramel/honey, chili sauce and a little tinge of parsley mixed with boiled white noodles served dried!.
2!.2 thai green papaya salad!. of course you'll need green unripped papaya sliced with carrots, lettuce/ cabbage!. mixed with thai sweet & sour chili sauce and add a little fish sauce!. you can add cold shrimps for garnishing!.
2!.3 korean mixed rice!. you'll just need some rice, any type of vegetable sliced with some minced meat (not fish though)!. add in some sesame with a drop or 2 of fish sauce mixed together with their korean chili paste!.
(i suppose that's enough for quite a while!?)
3!. the traditional type of chinese spring roll only consists of vegetables!. like lettuce, carrots, boiled radish, mushroom sliced, bean sprouts and add some salt/ sugar to taste!. spring rolls uses this yellowish coloured skin something that is like tortilla!.!.!. and deep fry!.
if you can't find such "skin" as we call it here!.!.!. you can just spread beaten egg on tortilla before adding the ingredients taste juz the same!.!.!.
oh, ps: spring rolls need to taste sweeter and add a tinge of white pepper to entice the taste
=) hope it turns out great~Www@FoodAQ@Com

You don't need a wok to make Asian food, but to make it easily and well a wok is a good idea!. The wok allows you to cook at very high temperatures and have room to toss things around!. If you try to use a normal frying pan you will often find things either burn to the bottom at stir-fry temperatures or that you've flung them all over the stove-top in an effort to prevent sticking!. The other distinct advantage of a wok is that when it becomes seasoned it is virtually stick-free!. Of course I'm a bit of a cheater so all of my woks have non-stick coating lol!.
Simple asian dish!? Doesn't get any easier than stir fried tofu and veggies with soy sauce!. Dump it on noodles or rice and you're good to go!.
Spring rolls usually are filled with vegetables and can also have meat or noodles!. They are almost always wrapped in rice paper here!. Some places will use the flour based egg-roll wrapper but really that makes it just more of a vegetarian egg-roll than a spring roll!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, I've worked with Chinese people who don't like or use woks at home!. Spring rolls aren't made from dough, some are made from rice paper which you get either at your supermarket or from an Asian food store!. Then there are the deep fried ones, I'm not sure that those ones are made from rice paper but I know they don't use dough!.
There are lots of simple Asian dishes, just google Asian recipes & same for spring roll recipes!. Or go to a book store or your library & get an Asian recipe book, there are loads of them!. And next time it's your birthday ask people to buy recipe books!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
