[quote=FlyerInHi]I would agree that Asian eating is generally healthier and cheaper because it involves preparing food and not packaged items. It’s too much starch and refined flour for me. Asian food is also too salty (some call that flavorful, but I prefer flavor to come from the natural ingredients than from added salt/flavor).
Having said all that, I make my food Asian fusion and modify it for my healthy eating.

I love Zion’s market. I was told they own farms around the region, so the produce/fruit is actually farm to table. Some of it doesn’t look “beautiful” but it’s better for you because you’re not eating all the wax/pesticide.

I like to watch Pai’s Hot Kitchen on youtube. She has a channel to teach Thai cooking and she’s really chef who’s studied Cordon Bleu. I was told her cooking is very authentic. But I only use her general instructions and modify it.

For everyday cooking, I would make an Asian fusion dish and put it on a bed of salad (chipotle style with at least 3 times the salad) with a little brown rice, beans, lentils, an apple, etc…[/quote]

Uh.. I wouldn’t call Kung Pao Chicken, Pot Stickers, Egg Rolls, Fried Rice, Peking Duck healthy… I wouldn’t call Korean BBQ “healthy” either…

Healthy choices (or unhealthy ones) can be found in pretty much any culture… Salad and baked potato would be healthy if it wasn’t for all that butter,cheese, for example.
