1.Guotie
Chinese pan-fried jiaozi dumplings, also known as guotie, are a type of dumpling from northern China, typically filled with minced pork, napa cabbage, green onions, ginger, rice wine, and sesame oil. Their crispy yet soft texture is achieved through a special cooking method; while the bottom of the dumpling is frying, a small amount of water is added to the pan, then covered, allowing the remaining dough and filling to steam through.
2. Siomay
This Indonesian dish consists of steamed fish dumplings, eggs, potatoes, cabbage, tofu, and bitter melon. After steaming, all the ingredients are arranged on a plate, cut into bite-sized pieces, and generously drizzled with spicy peanut sauce. The final touch is a little sweet soy sauce and lime juice.
3. Parotta
This traditional South Indian flatbread, often sold as a street food, is also popular in Malaysia and Sri Lanka. It's made from oil or ghee butter, water, refined wheat flour called maida (different from paratha, a type of bread made from regular wheat), and sometimes eggs.
4. Amritsari kulcha
Originating from the city of Amritsari in northern India, Amritsari kulcha is a flatbread filled with potatoes, onions, fresh cheese, and spices. The flatbread is often garnished with coriander seeds and red chili powder. Thin, crispy, and spread with ghee butter, it's a staple in Amritsari, with almost every shop in the city sizzling kulcha baking in large tandoor ovens.
5. Ohn no khao swè
Ohn no khao swè, meaning "noodles with coconut milk" in Burmese, is a traditional dish believed to be the inspiration for Thailand's khao sai. It consists of boiled egg noodles and pieces of curry chicken drenched in a rich chicken and coconut milk broth. The broth is typically thickened with chickpea flour and is topped with a variety of spices and garnishes.
6. Shawarma
Marinated and grilled on skewers, shawarma is a delicious Middle Eastern meat dish with origins dating back to the Ottoman Empire. Its name comes from the Arabic pronunciation of the Turkish word çevirme (literally meaning "to turn"), referring to the rotating skewers used to grill the meat. Shawarma is made from lamb, turkey, chicken, beef, or a mixture of different meats, slow-cooked for hours and marinated in the meat's own juices and fat, resulting in unparalleled juiciness.
7. Bread
This incredibly popular Vietnamese dish shares a core ingredient – the baguette, which was introduced to Vietnam during the colonial period and has now become a globally renowned food. The crispy bread crust, flavorful spices, and savory meats blend perfectly with cilantro, chili peppers, and pickles.
8. Batagoro
One of the most popular snacks in Indonesia is batagor, a type of fried fish dumpling served with a traditional spicy sauce. This dish has its origins in Chinese cuisine and has left its mark on many Indonesian dishes. Although this popular snack is reminiscent of Chinese dumplings, its distinguishing feature is that it is fried rather than steamed. The most common fish used is wahoo mackerel, but tuna, scad, and even shrimp can also be used.
9. Siu Mei
Siu Mei is a style of Chinese cuisine primarily characterized by grilled meat skewers cooked over an open fire or in a rotisserie oven. Originating in Guangdong Province, this culinary tradition is particularly popular in Hong Kong. The Cantonese word "xiu mei" means "grilled flavor." Some of the most famous and beloved "xiu mei" dishes include char siu, roast duck, roast pork, and more.
10. Sate Kambing
This is a traditional Indonesian dish and a type of satay made with goat or lamb meat as the main ingredient. The meat is cut into pieces or cubes and marinated with a mixture of ingredients such as kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), galangal, minced shallots, pineapple juice, and (usually) chili peppers.
In the list of 100 Asian street foods, besides banh mi, Vietnam also has pho, com tam, cha gio, banh khoai, nem nuong, and banh xeo.
