Simply Chinese Cooking (As of Oct. 2017)
A woman with long, wavy dark hair sits at a restaurant table and smiles at the camera. She wears a black top with a light plaid scarf draped around her shoulders and small earrings. In front of her stands a large glass of red wine, and the table also holds a water glass, a fork and spoon resting side by side, and a dark red napkin. Behind her, the wall is decorated with framed landscape prints, one of them a golden countryside scene labeled Toscana.

A white ceramic bowl filled with a colorful Chinese vegetable stir fry, photographed from above against a plain white background. The dish is built around bright green snow peas, mixed with round slices of lotus root showing their distinctive pattern of holes, crinkled dark wood ear mushrooms, thin orange carrot slices, and scattered yellow corn kernels. Everything looks lightly cooked and glossy, the way a quick stir fry comes together. A small blue floral pattern decorates the rim of the bowl, and a watermark for EinfachChinesischKochen.de, a German Chinese cooking site, runs along the bottom edge.

A white plate holds a nest of thin yellow egg noodles topped like a salad: a row of julienned cucumber spears down the center, all draped in a creamy tan peanut sauce and showered with crushed peanuts and red chili flakes. A pair of light wooden chopsticks rests on the right edge of the plate, angled toward the bottom corner. The plate sits on a white surface with a few stray peanut pieces scattered nearby, giving the shot a casual, just-plated feel. The dish reads as an Asian-style cold noodle bowl with peanut sauce.

A white plate holds a Chinese-style celery and peanut salad: crisp chopped celery, bright orange cubes of carrot, and soft tan peanuts tossed together and topped with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Black chopsticks rest against the right edge of the plate, which sits on a woven bamboo mat over a light surface. It reads as a simple, fresh home-style dish of the kind featured on German-language Chinese cooking blogs.

A row of small, golden pan-fried pumpkin cakes, each coated in white sesame seeds and browned from the pan, is lined up on a long rectangular ceramic plate decorated with a delicate cherry blossom sprig. At the left edge of the frame sits half a red-skinned pumpkin with bright orange flesh, hinting at the main ingredient. Black chopsticks rest along the right rim of the plate, and everything is set on a plain white surface. A small watermark reading "© EinfachChinesischKochen.de" appears in the bottom left corner.

A young woman stands smiling among the hanging branches of a willow tree, its long green leaves draping down around her on both sides. She wears a red traditional Chinese dress with gold trim and floral patterns at the collar and bodice. Behind her is a park scene with a lawn, a dark red shrub, a shallow stream edged with stones, and a building with red and yellow panels in the distance.

Since 2013, Ting Ting has been online with her blog “ Ting Ting’s Nest ”, where she reports on her experiences and discoveries in China. Born and raised in Germany, the author has Chinese parents, which is partly why she enjoys traveling to her homeland. In 2012, she went to China with her Chinese husband for five years. It was during this time that her website was created. Since China is still an absolutely foreign country for many Germans, her wish was to bring the authentic China, like the local life, culture, people, and food, closer to German readers.

Desi Küche (As of Oct. 2017)
A young woman smiles at the camera in a close portrait. She has long dark hair swept over one shoulder, with part of it braided back from her face, and she wears small white stud earrings. Her tunic is a deep red with small dotted patterns and a wide embroidered panel down the front, filled with orange, green, and teal floral motifs in a traditional South Asian style. Behind her is a wall of glossy beige tiles, giving the scene the feel of a home kitchen. The overall tone is warm and friendly, like an author photo for a personal blog.

I am Varuna and I come from India. I am a computer scientist by profession and have a great interest in cooking, especially "Indian cuisine."
Indian cuisine is very diverse, each region has its unique cooking style. The diversity of Indian cuisine reflects its cultural history and traditions, and that's exactly what makes Indian cuisine so exciting.
In February 2015, I started my Blog and YouTube Channel about Indian cooking. Let yourself be inspired by the delightful cuisine of India.

Two puffy, golden fried breads, likely poori, sit stacked on a white plate, their blistered surfaces lightly browned in spots. Behind them is a small glass bowl of yellow-brown vegetable curry, garnished with a slice of red onion on top. A lemon wedge and a green chili rest on the edge of the plate, all set on a gray cloth. A small colorful logo watermark appears in the upper right corner.

Grilled chicken skewers fill a round white plate, the meat coated in a fiery orange-red marinade with deeply charred, almost blackened edges. Chunks of red bell pepper and onion are threaded between the pieces of chicken on wooden skewers. Resting at the top of the plate is a small square white bowl of vivid green herb dip, the kind of mint-coriander chutney that usually accompanies Indian tandoori or tikka. A single coriander leaf sits above the bowl. The plate sits on a glossy black induction cooktop, so the scene reads as a home kitchen shot taken straight after cooking, styled the way a food blogger would present a spicy grilled chicken skewer dish.

A stack of fresh naan bread fills most of the frame, still warm and glossy, with dark charred blisters scattered across the blistered surface. The flatbreads rest on a white cloth inside a round woven basket, seen from above at an angle. Beside the basket sits a small red pot with a white rim, filled with a creamy orange curry with chunky pieces in it. The whole scene sits on a bright yellow surface, giving it the warm, appetizing look of a homemade Indian meal.

A grinning man with glasses holds up two dimpled one-liter glass beer mugs toward the camera, both filled to the top with golden beer and thick foam. He wears a navy jacket with a fuzzy fur-lined hood over a pink shirt, and a ring is visible on one hand. Behind him a busy German beer garden unfolds: long wooden tables packed with people drinking and chatting, wooden panel walls, pennant flags strung overhead, and an overcast sky above the roofed seating area.

The Hangry Stories
A selfie of a young couple sitting close together, their heads leaning in toward each other. The man on the right has short brown hair and dark-rimmed glasses, and he wears a gray t-shirt with a graphic of a Shell gas tanker truck above the words "Ghost in the Shell," a playful pun on the anime title. The woman beside him has dark hair swept across one side, glasses, and a wide, happy smile, dressed in a cream cardigan over a white lace top with a thin choker necklace. They sit in front of a plain olive-toned wall on what looks like a brown upholstered bench or booth seat, the kind found in a café. The framing is tight on their faces and shoulders, giving it the casual feel of a photo taken for a personal blog or social feed.

The blog “ The Hangry Stories “ was launched as a joint project by Michael and Stephanie Drewing from Munich to make recipes and travel tips from Japan accessible to a German audience. During joint trips to Japan, the couple always seeks new inspiration, recipes, and special travel destinations that they can feature on their blog. The focus is on down-to-earth Japanese everyday cuisine, street food, and various baking creations. Michael and Stephanie are also deeply involved in the Japanese pop culture scene, as they are part of the volunteer organization team for the manga-anime convention “Connichi,” thereby bringing the country of their dreams closer to many young Japanese fans.

A woman and a young boy pose together on a sidewalk corner in a busy Japanese downtown, almost certainly Nagoya given the Meitetsu New Grand Hotel sign above the intersection. The woman wears a black hat, black leather jacket, and plaid skirt, smiling at the camera with one arm around the boy, who hides his face against her shoulder. Behind them, mid-rise buildings are covered in advertising signs for electronics and tech brands: Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, Sharp, Nikon, Olympus, Hitachi, and others, with a large red docomo sign near street level. Pedestrians cross the wide intersection behind them, a cyclist rides past on the left, and a parking sign stands at the right edge of the frame. The soft light suggests late afternoon in winter, and the pair look like travelers taking a quick souvenir photo in the middle of the city.

A close-up portrait of a smiling woman with shoulder-length dark brown hair and thin rimless glasses. She is laughing warmly, showing her teeth, and wears a light blue-gray collared top with a thin black cord necklace. Behind her, a wooden shelf holds a few decorative pieces, the most noticeable being a glossy teal and blue glass or ceramic sculpture shaped like a fish, alongside books and small ornaments. The shot has the casual, friendly feel of a blog profile photo.

Konnichiwa. My name is Mari, I am half-Japanese and spent my youth in Japan. I started blogging because, on one hand, I was repeatedly asked for Japanese recipes. On the other hand, I wanted to document the development of my son (then 2) and let distant relatives and friends share in our experiences. Kazuo is the Japanese name of my son. Many recipes come from my Japanese baking and cooking books, which I always bring back in large quantities from my trips to Japan. Since I enjoy baking, most of the recipes are of a sweeter nature. However, you will also find Japanese everyday dishes on the blog as well as Western ones.

A slice of matcha mousse cake sits on a small ceramic plate painted with plum blossoms in red and white. The cake has a pale green mousse layer dusted all over with vivid green tea powder, one end softening into white powdered sugar, and a small dark dollop of red bean paste perched on top. Dark beans are suspended near the base of the mousse, above a thin green sponge layer and a crisp-looking crumb crust. The plate rests on a white cloth with faint leaf prints, giving the whole shot a gentle, homey feel.

Three round melon pan buns sit on a white plate decorated with pink flowers and a green leafy rim. Each bun is topped with a pale golden cookie crust cut into a deep diamond lattice pattern, with the sugared surface lightly browned where the ridges catch the light. One bun fills the foreground in sharp focus, while the other two sit slightly behind it, close enough that the plate beneath is mostly hidden.

A bright red fruit sauce is pooled on the plate with a small mint sprig, and a second plate with the same dessert peeks in at the top of the frame. The whole scene sits on a vivid orange table, giving the photo a warm, homemade dessert-blog look.

My Little Japanese World
A young woman with short blonde hair and black-framed glasses stands at a cooking station, holding a kitchen knife over a red cutting board as she chops ingredients. Her white raglan shirt with black sleeves reads "FOOD BLOGGER" in block letters across the chest, and she wears a blue wristband on her wrist. The station in front of her is set with lime-green mixing bowls, a whisk, a wooden spoon, a cucumber, and a glass of white wine on a wooden counter, with Miele branding visible on the station front. Behind her, several other participants work at similar counters in a large event hall with exposed steel roof trusses and booth displays. A camera operator films the scene, suggesting a hands-on cooking event or blogger workshop rather than a casual meetup.

A homemade Pokémon bento sits in a two-compartment pink box set on a fabric printed with a crowd of Pokémon characters. The left compartment holds a mound of white rice topped with a Pikachu face made of yellow rice and dark nori details, with a bit of broccoli tucked behind it. The right compartment is busier. A large Pikachu, again shaped from yellow rice with nori eyes and a red mouth, lies across a row of sushi rolls filled with pink and green rice. Around it are cucumber slices, a Pokéball made from halved egg with a dark band, small red sausages cut so the ends flare out like little octopuses, scrambled egg, and a whole boiled egg decorated with red and blue patterns to look like Togepi hatching from its shell. A pair of black chopsticks rests beside the box.

A small, elegant layered dessert sits at the center of a white plate. It is built like a little cake: a green pistachio crumb base, a thick pale cream mousse layer above it, and a smooth, glossy orange fruit topping that crowns the whole thing. A thin caramel sauce is drizzled over the top, runs down one side of the dessert, and curls across the plate in loose loops. Small mounds of the same green pistachio crumble are scattered around the plate as garnish. The plate rests on a white tablecloth, giving the whole photo a clean, bright look that puts all the focus on the dessert.

A close portrait of a young woman with short brown hair and bangs, wearing a bright red beret that stands out against the muted scene behind her. She has light blue eyes and a soft, closed-mouth smile, and she rests her chin on her clasped hands, which are raised in front of her. She is dressed in a dark jacket with a thick, fuzzy collar. The backdrop is a blurred black-and-white photograph or mural in grays, so all the color and focus stay on her face.

Two skewers of dango rest on a round, dark grey speckled ceramic plate. Each bamboo skewer holds three soft white rice dumplings coated in a glossy, caramel-brown sweet soy glaze, with a few lightly charred spots where the topping has caramelized. A little glaze has pooled onto the plate beneath them. The plate sits on a slatted bamboo mat, and soft pink cherry blossoms in the upper corner give the scene a springtime, Japanese feel.

Two wooden bowls of miso soup sit on a green woven placemat. The bowl in back holds the classic version: cloudy broth with cubes of tofu, dark strips of wakame seaweed, and slices of scallion. The bowl in front is heartier, filled with chewy pieces of fried tofu, daikon, and chopped green onion. A small "Wanderweib.de" watermark appears in the corner.

A plate of omurice, the Japanese omelette rice dish: a soft yellow omelette draped over seasoned rice, zigzagged with stripes of red ketchup that drip down onto the white plate. Alongside sits a small fresh salad with lettuce leaves, two cherry tomatoes still on the vine, and a slice of cucumber, all set against a bright red backdrop.

A close-up of okonomiyaki, the Japanese savory pancake, served on a white plate set on a wooden table. The thick, golden-brown pancake shows flecks of green cabbage mixed into the batter, with slices of pork or bacon seared across the top. It's finished in the classic style: a glossy dark sauce spread over the surface, a zigzag of white mayonnaise, and a generous pile of pale bonito flakes heaped in the center, some of them curling from the heat. The shot is taken from slightly above at a slight angle, with the food filling nearly the whole frame.

A woman with dark, shoulder-length hair leans over a wooden counter, slicing a pile of green onions on a white cutting board. She wears a black t-shirt and holds the knife in her right hand while her left fingers steady the scallions, some already chopped into bright green rounds in front of her. The scene is a bright, modern cooking studio. Behind her sits a dark counter with a row of empty champagne flutes and a bar stool, and a second person is partially visible at the right edge of the frame, suggesting a cooking class or live demonstration rather than a home kitchen.

A smiling woman with short dark hair stands in front of a bold red wall, hugging a hardcover book to her chest. She wears a simple black dress and black flats, legs crossed at the ankles, and looks down toward the book with a warm laugh. The book's cover shows abstract red and teal artwork. She is the Korean food blogger MissSeoulFood, and the pose reads like an author portrait: relaxed, friendly, set against the striking red backdrop with a dark gray floor below.

“I am Sun-Mi Jung. As a child of South Korean guest workers, I was born in the Ruhr area, grew up here, and still live here today. I am a journalist and editor, and a few years ago I started writing about my Asian roots, my migration background, and the cultural differences between East and West. From this first blog named "Korean Girl," a project called "MissSeoulFood" was born (www.missseoulfood.de). Behind it is a food and culture blog about Korean and Asian cuisine, Korean recipes, and the Korean lifestyle and culture. To bring Korean cuisine even closer to my readers, I offer Korean cooking classes. I regularly organize cooking sessions in Dortmund, but I also gladly come to your home.”

A small pale green ceramic bowl filled with glossy white sticky rice, photographed from above on a white surface. Resting on top of the rice is a piece of kimchi: fermented napa cabbage coated in red chili, with visible chili flakes clinging to the leaves and a streak of seasoning running over the edges of the bowl. The serving is simple and home-style, the kind of plain rice-and-kimchi pairing that anchors a Korean meal.

A top-down view of a small white bowl filled with clear broth, set on a plain white surface. Several pale white sticks, cut into short rectangles, lie stacked in the liquid, likely daikon radish or rice cake. The garnish is the colorful part: a couple of bright red chili rings with visible seeds, plus thin slivers of green scattered across the surface. Simple, clean Asian home-cooking style, with the soup taking up most of the frame.

Two golden savory muffins in fluted white paper cups sit on a white plate, photographed up close. The tops are baked to a bubbly orange-brown, with visible bits of bacon and melted cheese in the egg mixture, and each muffin is garnished with a small sprig of fresh rosemary. Along the lower left of the plate runs a brushstroke of dark red sauce, also topped with a rosemary sprig, giving the plate a dressed-up, restaurant-style presentation.

A row of inside-out sushi rolls sits on a white rectangular plate, arranged on the diagonal from the lower left to the upper right. Each roll is generously coated in toasted sesame seeds, which give the white rice a speckled, golden-brown crust. The cut ends face the camera and reveal the filling: slices of pale green avocado, thin cucumber sticks, and dark green leafy vegetables wrapped around the rice. In the lower right corner, a few small diced cucumber cubes are scattered on the plate as garnish.

A man in glasses and a gray striped shirt stands at a wooden counter outdoors, cooking in a wok set on a small red portable gas burner. He wears a blue patterned apron and holds the wok handle while stirring what looks like glass noodle stir fry. Behind him are thatched bamboo walls and other people at the open-air cooking station, suggesting a Thai cooking class or market setting.

Hello, my name is Jens Ihrig, I was born in the late 1970s and have been living in Karlsruhe for 14 years. I discovered my love for cooking at a young age. My passion for Asian cuisines, especially since a three-month trip through Southeast Asia after the end of my studies. Since that first stay, I have been to this beautiful part of the world over ten times and have fallen a little more in love with Thailand, its neighbors, and their cuisines each time.
"Yam Woon Sen" is a Thai glass noodle salad and one of my favorite Thai dishes. It was therefore a perfect name for my blog , where almost everything revolves around Thai cuisine and its neighboring countries. But delicious recipes from other parts of the world also find a place in my kitchen and on my blog. Additionally, I sometimes feature a cookbook, a delicious wine, a refreshing beer, or the occasional kitchen utensil.

A white plate holds a mound of Thai-style minced meat, browned and crumbly, studded with whole dried red chilies and dark, glossy leafy herbs. Fresh mint sprigs rest on top of the meat, and a fan of thin cucumber slices runs along the right side of the plate, giving the warm-toned dish a bright green contrast. The close-up framing and a small green web address, "foodie.yamwoonsen.de," along the bottom edge mark it as a food blog photo of a finished home-cooked dish.

A white plate on a bamboo mat holds a serving of pad thai: broad rice noodles coated in a dark sauce, tossed with strips of meat and scattered with raw bean sprouts. Along one side of the plate sit a small pile of crushed peanuts, two lime wedges, and a sprig of fresh cilantro. The overhead angle and warm lighting give it the look of a home-cooked dish photographed for a food blog.

A close-up of a fresh Thai-style salad served on a white plate. Shredded green papaya is tossed with bright red cherry tomato halves, sliced radish, snow peas, and scattered cashew nuts, all glistening with a light, slightly oily dressing that pools a little at the edge. The ingredients look crisp and freshly mixed, filling most of the frame. A small watermark along the bottom edge reads "foodie.yamwoonsen.de".

Asia Street Food (As of Oct. 2017)
A man and a woman sit side by side on low plastic stools at a busy Vietnamese street food stall at night, both smiling at the camera. He wears glasses and a blue button-up shirt, she has short blonde hair and a gray top, and between them on a small blue table is a bowl of food with chopsticks, part of a meal in progress. The seating is classic Hanoi street style: a scatter of tiny red and blue plastic stools around low tables. Behind them the stall is in full swing. A green and red neon sign reads Hoa Béo and advertises phở bò, next to a chalkboard menu listing Vietnamese dishes and prices. A vendor stands at the cart with stacked bowls, other diners eat nearby, and on the left a motorbike with a rider in a hooded jacket passes close by, headlights glowing. Overhead, striped tarps and awnings stretch across the narrow street, and the whole scene has the warm, slightly motion-blurred energy of eating dinner in the middle of Hanoi's old quarter traffic.

We are Heike and Stefan, chefs, writers, photographers, and passionate travelers. My wife Heike is an enthusiastic photographer, and I love cooking, trying out new recipes, and writing them down. During our travels to Asian countries, we discover traditional dishes in their cultural context. We have helped to expand the culinary horizons of many and strive to encourage as many fans as possible to engage with the culinary traditions of foreign cultures, always following the motto “Stories about eating something somewhere … are really stories about the place and the people living there… the reading of a food’s story reveals, like any good travelogue, a much bigger story – a cultural geography – of particular times and places.” by Susanne Freidberg.
We have been sharing our experiences since 2011 on our website Asia Street Food , the most visited website for authentic, Asian cuisine in Germany. Our first cookbook Asia Street Food has won the Gourmand Cookbook Award “Best in the World" as well as the silver medal from the German Gastronomic Academy. In 2016, the third edition was already published with a total of 18,000 printed copies. Our second book Asia Street Bowls was released in the early months of 2017 and has already received excellent reviews. We live in Frankfurt, from where we set out on culinary expeditions.

A steaming bowl of Vietnamese beef pho sits front and center on a weathered wooden table, photographed from above. Wide, translucent rice noodles fill the ceramic bowl, topped with thin slices of cooked beef, some still pink at the edges, and scattered chopped spring onions. Around the bowl are the usual pho accompaniments. A wedge of lime rests on the wood near the front, and a small square dish at the top holds more lime wedges next to a pile of bright red bird's eye chilies, some sliced. To the left, a larger bowl holds fresh bean sprouts and leafy green herbs, with a few sprigs of Thai basil laid directly on the table. Dark chopsticks peek into the frame at the bottom right. The worn, peeling wood surface gives the whole shot a rustic, street-food feel.

Four fresh summer rolls made of translucent rice paper stand cut-side up in a row on a long strip of green banana leaf, set on a dark wooden table. The rolls are packed with crisp lettuce, fresh herbs, shredded purple cabbage, carrot, and thick golden-brown strips of fried filling. Roasted peanuts are scattered over the leaf and around the rolls, with a sprig of cilantro tucked among them. Behind the leaf sits a small glass of light dipping sauce with a slice of chili floating in it.

Two women paddle a yellow kayak down a wide, calm river on a sunny day, and the one in front takes the photo herself, smiling at the camera in sunglasses and a light teal t-shirt. Behind her, the second woman, also in sunglasses, holds a double-bladed paddle raised mid-stroke. The river is framed by dense green trees on both banks, and steep, forested karst mountains rise in the background under a bright blue sky with a few clouds, giving the scene the look of a tropical Southeast Asian landscape.

A close-up of a Southeast Asian style curry served in a dark bowl. Chunks of pineapple, cauliflower florets, sugar snap peas, and strips of red bell pepper sit in a creamy, orange-tinted coconut sauce that pools around the center of the dish. A small sprig of fresh mint or Thai basil tops the vegetables, and a few green leaves peek out from behind the pile. The bright colors of the fruit and vegetables stand out sharply against the dark background and rim of the bowl.

A close-up of khao soi, the northern Thai coconut curry noodle soup, served in a dark bowl. A braised chicken leg sits on top of a nest of soft egg noodles, crowned with a tangle of crispy fried noodles. The broth is a rich red-orange, pooled with visible chili oil around the edges, and scattered with fresh cilantro leaves. A juicy lime wedge rests against the rim of the bowl, ready to be squeezed in.

A dark stone bowl filled with Vietnamese beef noodle soup dominates the frame, photographed from above on a slate-gray surface. The clear broth holds rice noodles, slices of pink cooked beef, bean sprouts, and a generous topping of fresh greens: Thai basil leaves, chopped spring onions, and sliced scallions. Three small dishes sit alongside the bowl. A white plate holds lime wedges, another square dish is piled with chopped scallions and greens, and a small round bowl contains a red chili-garlic condiment with visible sesame seeds. The spread reads like a classic pho setup with its garnishes arranged for adding to the soup.

Fresh Vietnamese summer rolls fill a dark bowl in this photo, their translucent rice paper revealing strips of carrot, cucumber, and leafy greens inside. Several rolls are cut on a diagonal and arranged on the right side, while the left half of the bowl is packed with fresh herbs, mostly sprigs of mint plus basil with purple blossoms. In the center sits a small white dish of dipping sauce, a brownish liquid topped with sliced red chili and slivered garlic. The dark background makes the green herbs and pale rolls stand out, giving the whole arrangement the look of a homemade Asian platter ready for dipping.

A young woman with long dark hair and glasses sits at a light wooden table in a casual restaurant, smiling at the camera. She wears a mint-green cardigan over a white top and holds a large white bowl of rice topped with meat and fresh greens, a Vietnamese-style dish. In front of her on the table are a small plastic cup of dipping sauce and a glass with a red straw. The bright, modern dining room behind her has red accents and other diners in the distance.

The site vietnamesisch-kochen.de is primarily my personal project because I have Vietnamese roots, love Vietnamese food, and I know that Vietnamese cuisine suits European tastes very well. Here in Hamburg, you can now eat Vietnamese both out and at home. The variety is great and the quality of the food is wonderful. Therefore, I not only collect recipes but also write restaurant reviews and write about food trends. As a media student with several years of professional experience in online marketing (focus on SEO) and expertise in the field of search engines, I was also looking for a new challenge and easy ways to apply my learned marketing knowledge. My small blog thus combines two important aspects that are very important to me personally, which is why I put a lot of heart and soul into it. I look forward to any kind of attention and feedback on my blog!

Dishes by Emmy
A white bowl filled with a creamy, pale rice porridge sits on a white table, topped with a colorful mix of golden fried bread pieces, dark purple-black seaweed, shredded chicken, and sliced green onions. The bowl is positioned slightly left of center, with a stainless steel spoon resting on the table to its right and a woven placemat partially visible in the background. It looks like a home-cooked congee or rice soup, finished with crunchy croutons and fresh garnishes.

A bowl of Vietnamese chicken pho sits on a slatted wooden table, shot from above. The white bowl, ringed with a blue floral pattern, holds clear broth over thin rice noodles, topped with shredded chicken, a tangle of bean sprouts, chopped scallions, and fresh cilantro. A pair of chopsticks rests across the rim. Next to it, a small matching plate holds three golden fried dough sticks, crisp and puffed, ready to be dipped into the soup.

Vietnamese coffee in the making on a home kitchen counter. A red tin of Trung Nguyên coffee stands beside a tall glass with a layer of condensed milk at the bottom. On the black induction cooktop, a stainless steel phin filter sits atop a metal cup, with its perforated press plate and lid set off to the side, ready for brewing. A knife block and white tiled wall show this is a home kitchen rather than a cafe.

An overhead view of a big shared Asian meal spread across a table covered with a pale patterned cloth. Thin round wrappers sit at the edges, suggesting the dishes are there for assembling wraps at the table. In the middle, plates and bowls hold shredded cucumber, carrot, and pale cabbage, a bowl of white rice noodles, sliced pickles, and a large platter divided into strips of cooked meat, shredded egg or omelette, and cubed tofu or mushroom. A ladle rests in a wide bowl of golden broth, and small plates carry a bright red chili sauce swirled into a pattern. Bowls of peanuts, fresh leafy greens, sliced red peppers, and small dishes of chopped chili round out the colorful, ingredient-heavy arrangement.

Hello, what a wonderful collection. Thank you, you did a great job. Feel free to check out https://nori-blaetter.de Best regards from Berlin René
Hello René, thank you very much :) We’ll try to fill the list with more blogs :) Best regards, Matthias
Your page is very attractively designed and delves deeply into the subject matter. I love Asian cuisine and also find their way of life very interesting and fascinating. The cuisine is light and artfully presented. With a lot of love in each step of preparation. Their dedication and absolute perfection are more than worthy of admiration. Thanks to preparation in the wok, the vitamins in the vegetables are preserved. They live healthier and more family-oriented, with much respect and dignity. We as Europeans could learn a lot from them. I wish you continued good luck and much success with your food blog. Best regards, Food Blog 2017
Hi, thank you for your praise. That's a great motivation to keep going :) Your comment encourages us even more :) Best regards, Matthias and Ryu
