I've taken to using the term "vaguely Asian" for anything I come up with in the kitchen that uses any combination of traditionally Asian ingredients: ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, miso, mirin, lemongrass.

 

 

 

 

 

Yes. A lot of my cooking is “vaguely Asian“. I just get irritated on the internet (especially YouTube) when I see things labelled as “Chinese” when someone has decided to add a drop of soy sauce to their shepherd's pie or the like.

 

Or even worse when things are described as “Chinese“ because they contain Japanese ingredients!
