Authentic Recipes Around The World

What makes a meal truly marvelous? Is it the presentation? While the ingredients surely play a part, most would agree that the technique used in the cooking and the chef’s patience are the deciding factors in a delicious meal. The flavors only come out once the food is cooked right. Therefore, we are providing recipes from various countries and regions and instructing how to make them authentically.

Here is a list of recipes and advice for preparing them traditionally:

Thai Green Curry

To make an authentic Thai Green Curry, use fresh herbs and spices such as lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves. You can also add vegetables like bamboo shoots, eggplant, and bell peppers, along with protein such as chicken, beef, or tofu. Serve it with jasmine rice and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Mexican Tacos

To make authentic Mexican Tacos, use soft corn tortillas, and fill them with seasoned meat, such as pork or beef, or grilled vegetables like peppers and onions. Top it with chopped onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. You can also add salsa, guacamole, and sour cream to it.

Italian Carbonara Pasta

To make authentic Carbonara pasta, use pancetta instead of bacon, and add fresh egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper to the pasta while it’s still hot. Don’t use cream or milk, as it’s not traditionally used in Carbonara.

Indian Butter Chicken

To make an authentic Indian Butter Chicken, marinate the chicken in yogurt and spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala. Cook it in a tomato-based curry with butter, cream, and fenugreek leaves. Serve it with basmati rice or naan bread.

Japanese Sushi

To make authentic Japanese sushi, use high-quality sushi rice, seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add fillings like fresh fish or seafood, avocado, cucumber, or pickled vegetables. Serve it with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.

Remember, the key to making authentic international cuisine is to use fresh, quality ingredients, and to follow traditional cooking techniques and recipes. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients to make it your own.
