| Japanese cuisine is based on combining staple foods (shushoku, 主食), typically rice or noodles, with a soup, and okazu (おかず) - dishes made from fish, meat, vegetable, tofu and the like, designed to add flavor to the staple food. These are typically flavored with dashi, miso, and soy sauce and are usually low in fat and high in salt. |

sushi (寿司, 鮨, 鮓, sushi?) is vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients including fish (cooked or uncooked) and vegetables. Outside of Japan, sushi is sometimes misunderstood to mean the raw fish by itself, or even any fresh raw-seafood dishes.[1] In Japan, sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi and is distinct from sushi, as sashimi is the raw fish component, not the rice component.
There are various types of sushi: sushi served rolled inside nori (dried and pressed layer sheets of seaweed or alga) called makizushi (巻き) or rolls; sushi made with toppings laid with hand-formed clumps of rice called nigirizushi (にぎり); toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu called inarizushi; and toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice called chirashi-zushi (ちらし).

Thai Cuisine is known for its balance of five fundamental flavors in each dish or the overall meal - hot (spicy), sour, sweet, salty and bitter (optional). Although popularly considered as a single cuisine. Thai food is known for its enthusiastic use of fresh (rather than dried) herbs and spices as well as fish sauce.
Instead of a single main course with side dishes found in Western cuisine, a Thai full meal typically consists of either a single dish or rice "khao" with many complementary dishes served concurrently. Rice is a staple component of Thai cuisine. Steamed rice is accompanied by highly aromatic curries, stir-frys and other dishes, incorporating sometimes large quantities of chillies, lime juice and lemon grass
Noodles, known throughout parts of Southeast Asia by the Chinese name "Gauytiew", are popular as well but usually come as a single dish, like the stir-fried "Pad Thai") or noodle soups. Many Chinese cuisine are adapted to suit Thai taste, such as "Gauytiew rua" , a sour and spicy rice noodle soup.
