Asian Recipes

Stir-fries, curries, noodles, and more from across Asia

Asian cuisine is one of the broadest categories in cooking — spanning the delicate flavours of Japanese dishes, the rich spiced curries of India, the wok-fired stir-fries of China, and the aromatic herb-forward cooking of Thailand. The common thread across these traditions is balance: building dishes where sweet, sour, salty, savoury, and sometimes spicy all play a role.

The recipes here draw from Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Thai cuisines — the most well-represented Asian traditions in our collection. Stir-fries, dals, curries, noodle dishes, and rice-based mains — varied enough to cover any preference, and all tested with step-by-step instructions.
