In Asian cooking the range and variety
of meat dishes are endless. Usually the meat is sliced, shredded or
cut into pieces. It is then stir fried, braised or stewed together
with spices and vegetables. Different types of sauces are usually
added to the cooked dishes. The many types of meat used in Asian
cooking include beef, mutton and pork. Some animals are considered
sacred in some cultures and therefore you may not find many beef
dishes in India or pork dishes in Muslim cuisines in Malaysia, for
instance.
A good dish of meat is tender, juicy and
full of flavor. Besides being delicious many of us don't realize that
meat has a very high nutritional value forming a vital part of a
balanced and nutritious diet. Meat contains high biological value
protein that is important for growth, repair and also maintaining body
cells. |
