The Asian dishes home cooks return to most are built from a short pantry — soy or fish sauce, rice or noodles, garlic, ginger and chili: Thai pad Thai, Korean bibimbap, Indian butter chicken, Vietnamese pho bo and Japanese tonkotsu ramen. Pad Thai and bibimbap are weeknight dishes; pho and tonkotsu ramen are weekend projects, because their flavor comes from a broth simmered for hours.
Asian cuisine is not one tradition but several dozen that share a pantry and very little else. The East Asian core — Chinese, Japanese, Korean — builds on soy sauce, rice wine, sesame and fermented bean pastes, cooked fast over very high heat or slowly into broth. Southeast Asia (Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, Indonesian) swaps the fermented-soy backbone for fish sauce, lime, palm sugar and fresh chili, and balances all four against each other in a single dish. South Asia (Indian, Sri Lankan, Pakistani) is built on whole spices bloomed in fat, aromatics cooked down to a base, and long braises rather than quick ones. Knowing which of the three a dish comes from tells you more about how to cook it than the word "Asian" ever will.
The AislePrompt catalog includes 12,270 Asian recipes, from 20-minute stir-fries and noodle bowls to weekend broths worth the time. Use the dietary filters for vegetarian, gluten-free (tamari in place of soy) or low-carb versions; sort by cook time; then send the whole ingredient list to Instacart in one tap.

About Asian cooking
What defines Asian cooking?
This page collects several distinct Asian traditions rather than a single one — Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and more. What genuinely carries across most of them is rice or noodles as the base, a soy-or-fish-sauce salt source instead of table salt, the aromatic trio of garlic, ginger and scallion, and fast high-heat cooking or long clear-broth simmering rather than dry oven roasting. For a single tradition’s pantry and technique, use the individual cuisine pages. Our 12,270 Asian recipes cover everything from quick weeknight meals to classic dishes worth learning end-to-end.
What are common Asian pantry staples?
Soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, fish sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, garlic, ginger, scallions, dried chilies, jasmine and short-grain rice, rice and wheat noodles, and coconut milk. Soy, sesame oil, garlic and ginger start most weeknight dishes.
