Types of Dishes Based on Each Country

Types of Dishes Based on Each Country

Cooking is an activity that is always done every day by some people. If viewed from dvbstreamexplorer history, this cooking activity has been carried out since 1.9 million years ago, to be precise in the stone age or the paleolithic era. Of course, in those days, cooking and cooking activities were still using containers in the form of stones and fire from firewood. This is evident from the research results of a scientist from Boston University named Frensesco Berna, where he researched a cave which is believed to have been the place where ancient humans lived. Then he also found some stone cooking utensils.


Humans at that time were called homo erectus or ancient humans. Initially ancient humans still ate raw dishes, but over time early humans made new innovations by cooking ripe dishes. This is done to make it easier for the human body to digest. The side effect of cooking at that time was the change in the shape of the ancient human’s jaw which was getting smaller because it was used to consuming cooked food. In addition, the shape of the human intestine at that time also changed and shrank smaller.

Types of Cuisine in Each Country

Now a days, cooking and cooking activities are growing very rapidly. There are also many variants of how to cook it, starting from baking, steaming, boiling, and frying. Even today, each dish is divided into several types of countries including Indian cuisine, Chinese cuisine, French cuisine and Japanese cuisine. The way of serving it is also different. However, for Japanese cuisine, there are several menus that still use raw fish meat. The name of the menu is Sushi. However, the sushi menu still uses ripe condiments such as rice or sticky rice. For more details, here we will provide several types of cuisine based on certain regions.

  • Indonesian dishes

    Indonesian cuisine is a very popular dish in the world. This is because almost all Indonesian dishes are cooked with Indonesian spices and traditional cooking techniques also distinguish the characteristics of Indonesian cuisine. One of the most popular Indonesian dishes is Sate. This menu is made from animal meat such as chicken, beef, pork, or goat which is made with two choices of seasonings, namely soy sauce or peanut sauce seasoning. The way to serve it is by skewering the meat and served with rice cake or ketupat. Lontong or ketupat is rice that is steamed and packed with leaves. In addition, Indonesian cuisine is not spared from rice which is the main staple food in the country of Indonesia. Even one of the former presidents of the United States admitted that the Sate menu in Indonesia was one of the tastiest foods in the world. Interesting right?
  • Chinese food

5 Beef Dishes To Try During KC Restaurant Week

It’s the best time of year for food enthusiasts…KC Restaurant Week! More than 150 restaurants are participating, offering two-course lunches for $15 and three-course dinners for $33. Restaurant Week runs through January 21, but let’s face it: two weeks isn’t enough time to try each eatery. To help narrow your focus, I’ve partnered with my friends at Kansas Beef to bring you five must-try beef dishes during KC Restaurant Week.

1. Grunauer’s Slow Roasted Beef Shoulder
Why we love it: Tender, marinated beef – accented with Dijon sauce and horseradish – sets the stage for this hearty dinner dish. And even the sides shine when it comes to Grunauer’s roasted brussel sprouts and creamy mashed potatoes. Pro tip: try this dish with a glass of the 2014 Esterhazy “Granauer” if you’re looking for a great beef + red wine pairing.

Grunauer
101 W 22nd St.
Kansas City, MO 64108

2. Corvino’s Cheeseburger
Why we love it: The words “burger” and “gourmet” rarely go together, but Corvino pulls it off beautifully. Chef Michael Corvino starts with two thin chuck patties, topped with thick layers of muenster cheese, garlic aioli, housemade dill pickles and caramelized onions, then sandwiches it all between a sesame seed bun. Pro tip: have a couple napkins handy when consuming this juicy burger.

1830 Walnut Street
Kansas City, MO 64108

3. Brewery Emperial’s Flank Steak
Why we love it: steak and beer? It’s a no-brainer at Brewery Emperial. Especially when it comes to this flavorful, chili rubbed flank steak, thin sliced and topped with chimichurri. If you can make your way through all the layers of tender beef, you’ll be rewarded with sides of creamy polenta and sautéed mushrooms. Pro tip: order the brewery’s Biscuit beer for a beef-friendly drink pairing.

1829 Oak St.
Kansas City, MO 64108

4. Boru Ramen’s Curry Beef
Why we love it: big cuts of beef and no steak knife required…yes, please! Boru adds extra wow-factor to this lunch and dinner entree by using Japenese-style curry to accentuate tender portions of meat. Chef Po Wang rounds out the dish with roasted fingerling potatoes, carrots and steamed rice. Pro tip: save room for dessert, the cotton cheesecake with yuzu sauce is not to be missed!

Boru Ramen
500 W 75th St.
Kansas City, MO 64114

5. Summit Grill Waldo’s Angus KC Strip
Why we love it: Let’s face it, any time KC Strip is on the menu it’s worth sinking your teeth into. But especially during Restaurant Week, when you can get this flavorful, finely marbled cut that made Kansas City famous for it’s beef – for a steal. Not to mention, there are two other courses that accompany this dish. Pro tip: wear your stretchy pants.

Sweet & Salty Nutella Fudge Swirl Milkshake

Whenever snacktime comes around, I’m always stuck in a sweet/salty dilemma. For example, a simple chips vs. chocolate decision will have me staring at the cupboard for 3o minutes. And don’t get me started on the inner debate between candy and popcorn at the movie theater. The agony.

But now the snack struggle is over. That’s because I put all my favorite sweet and salty treats in a creamy, Nutella fudge-swirled milkshake. Or as I also like to call it, a SNACKSHAKE.

That’s right. I’m talking pretzels, Cracker Jacks and potato chips. But those are just the toppings. To start, you’ll need to the makings for a great milkshake – just whole milk and vanilla ice cream. I used AE Dairy‘s Whole Milk instead of lighter milk to achieve a thicker shake. (Plus, each serving of AE Dairy’s Whole Milk provides eight grams of natural protein so there’s an added health benefit.)

Before blending the ice cream and milk, I added a handful of pretzels, then blended it all together until the mixture was smooth and the pretzel bits were small. It might seem like a minor detail, but the pretzels make all the difference in the taste and texture of the shake. It adds just the right amount of crunch and salt to coincide with the ice cream.

During recipe testing I considered sticking with the pretzel milkshake. But something felt like it was missing…you know, that decadence factor. That’s when it hit me. Nutella! Swirls of it. Rich like hot fudge, but better (obviously) because NUTELLA!

Making it is simple: just whisk together Nutella, AE Heavy Whipping Cream, corn syrup and vanilla. When you’re ready to serve, drop in alternating layers of the shake and spoonfuls of Nutella fudge in a glass. Then, take a spoon and stir to distribute “swirls” of nutella fudge throughout the shake.

Presentation is everything here. So toss on those Cracker Jacks like calories don’t count! For the rim, roll the edge of the cup in Nutella fudge and then roll it in crushed potato chips.

Pro tip: this snackshake is not one for sipping. So ditch the straw and go straight for a spoon (or a shovel).

Ingredients

  • 1.5 quart vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup salted pretzels (set a few aside for topping)
  • 1 cup Cracker Jacks
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup Nutella
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1 drop vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. For the shake: in a blender, combine ice cream, whole milk and pretzels until smooth.
  2. For the Nutella Fudge: whisk together Nutella, cream, corn syrup and vanilla in a bowl until combined.
  3. Serve the shake in cup, alternating layers of ice cream and Nutella fudge. Take a spoon and stir the shake to create swirls of fudge throughout.
  4. Top with Cracker Jacks, potato chips and pretzels.

Best KC Restaurants to Impress Out of Towners

We’ve all been here before: Guests are coming to town and you’re in charge of choosing the perfect restaurants. Being the knowledgeable Kansas Citian that you are, your food line-up is expected to impress your guests and put your city in a positive light. But your in-law’s tastes might not be the same as your old college roommate. No matter who’s visiting, here’s a guide to the best Kansas City restaurants for every kind of guest.

1. The Hard-to-Impress In-Laws 
Who can complain about bottomless mimosas and teetering towers of blueberry-stuffed french toast? No one, that’s who. And that’s why you’re taking the in-laws to weekend brunch at BLVD Tavern. You can take the edge off with a spicy bloody mary (or three) and everyone can nosh on a crowd-pleasing selection of locally-sourced fare.

BLVD Tavern 
320 Southwest Blvd.
Kansas City, MO 64108

2. The No-Frills Relative 
We all have that one family member who freaks over words like “amusebouche.” But just because they’re not an adventurous eater doesn’t mean they can’t have an amazing meal. Case in point: Speak Sandwiches. The popular Westside lunch spot keeps the menu simple and satisfying with options ranging from pastrami sandwiches (above) to matzo soup.

Speak Sandwiches

3. The Food-Conscious Friend 
This friend just watched What the Health and now you’re scrambling to find every vegan/vegetarian option in town. Never fear. Betty Rae’s in Waldo offers a variety of dairy-free ice creams, sorbets and boozy shakes. The dairy-free chocolate (left) is a personal fave.
