Nutritious Chinese foods those are rich in flavor!



The purpose of cooking most of the Chinese food is for its nutrition and medicinal value. The healing power of Chinese food requires a good knowledge and experience on cooking. Chinese foods do not use any milk based ingredients like cream, butter or cheese. Instead they use poly unsaturated oils. Although many Chinese food use meat, it is not used in excess. This is to avoid fat accumulation in human body. Such Chinese foods that concentrate more on being fat free diet are called as genuine Chinese food. Rice, noodles and veggies are some traditional food that prevents fat.

Serving a Chinese food is also considered very special by many. In general, the dining table of Chinese people has no knives. This makes it compulsory to cut the food in advance before you serve them. The most important thing of Chinese flavors includes the right mixture of herbs and condiments. Always the attractive color of the Chinese food with perfect blend of texture makes it heaven while you eat. Also, you have options to choose from a wide variety of dishes. Most of the people prefer the flavor of chicken or beef along with vegetables. A sesame chicken can be replaced by a cashew chicken or beef along with broccoli. Apart from these dishes, traditional dishes such as lo mien that comes with oil soaked noodles are rich in fats and carbohydrates and are unhealthy.



Fried rice gains high levels of carbohydrates and cholesterol. For a healthy diet, this can be replaced by brown rice. All Chinese food involves soy sauce and additives that are rich in sodium content. Intake of excess sodium might cause damage to body parts. So, it’s better to replace these sauces with steamed vegetables. Not necessarily they must be steamed; you can also make stir fry of veggies with oil. Fortune cookies at the end of meal will do well for your health too.

THe best quality Asian ingredients to buy for your pantry



Which soy sauce to buy, which oyster sauce to buy ? There are so many choices and a lot of them are of low qualtiy so this article is intended to help you choose the best ones for your home asian cooking. This is based upon our many years of owning asian restaurants and constantly trying and testing new products which come onto the market. We also focus only on the value price range. At Pan Asia we dont include gourmet products as they are too expensive and often no better than a good quality medium priced product.

Please note for this article I cannot include pictures but simpy copy and do a search on google images of the products you are interested in buying and you will find many images to help you identify when shopping.


We will start off with the basic asian food ingredients.

Soy Sauce (Light)

The Thai do the best ones. Healthy Boy light soy sauce is used the world over in Thai restaurants for a good reason . It is high quality and brewed naturally. It contains a high percentage of soy and has a great taste

Soy Sauce (Dark) 

Used mainly for adding colour to a dish and most people just buy the cheapest but it does have a taste. Cheap ones taste awful and you dont want to add that to your dish. THe best we have found and at the best price is the Pearl River Bridge Superior Dark Soy Sauce. Make sure you buy the superior brand as it is brewed naturally whereas the the brand that doesnt say superior is fast tracked through the fermentation process with additives and colourings

Oyster Sauce

Again the Thai make the best tasting best value oyster sauce. The Maekrua brand contains the highest percentage of oyster extract than any other brand i have come across but more importantly it is well balanced and gives a dish fantastic body. It is a bit of a restaurant secret this ingredient so make the effort to locate and buy

Chinese Cooking Wine (Shao Xing)

There are actually plenty to choose from that are all good and at a good price . We use the Pagoda brand as it is well priced and good quality and sits just above the many cheap brands but doesnt try to be an expensive specialist wine . THere are two types of Pagoda the Red Label and the Blue label, either are good however the red loabel is more commonly stocked. Chek it is the real deal and look for the Pagoda symbol flanked by the words Pagoda Brand. There are copycats who use the pagoda symbol but they cant use the words pagoda brand.

Sesame Oil

This is a tricky one. There are products that state 100% Sesame Oil and yes the oil they use is 100% but it is only part of the product. The rest is a cheap blend of oils to add volume and make you think your buying a whole bottle of 100% sesame oil. you have to read the labels and the good ones say 100%  Pure Sesame oil which means exactly that, no added cheaper oils which they have blended with. Chee Seng is a common quality brand as well as Yeo's, different areas stock different brands so the important thing here is to just watch for the 100% Pure

Black Vinegar (Chinkiang)

Again this product has to be distilled naturally to gain flavor and aroma, there is one hugely popular brand that is called plum blossom . It has a  bright yellow lable and is easily spotted with the words Chinkinag on the front. This is as good as any and is cheap.

All these above ingredients are the staple so your Asian pantry and they are good quality so you will be getting good results with using them. The difference between using these good quality brands and cheaper brands is huge in taste and just not worth the few dollars saved in buying them.
