More and more fast food chains inspired by ethnic cuisine can be found on the streets or in shopping malls. But do we really know their origins? We invite you to try the 4 trends in ethnic food for this 2017:

Philippines

Filipino cuisine fuses Southeast Asian influences with Spanish food. The main ingredients of this cuisine are fresh fruits (mangoes, papayas, guavas, bananas, etc.) and also fish and seafood. Rice is always a staple in Filipino meals, whether as a main dish or dessert. The dishes you must try: Kare-kare: oxtail with fish sauce, soy sauce, and peanut sauce.

Vietnam

Vietnamese cuisine is probably one of the most varied in Asia due to its borders with China and Cambodia, and the French influence, Vietnamese gastronomy includes both spicy flavors, rice, and fish sauce. The dishes you must try: Pho Bo: rice noodle soup with beef.

20170131_4@ phu quoc island / breakfast | 7:30am, pho bo; phu quoc style beef noodle. ホテルの送迎を待つ間に朝食.フーコックのフォーはこのギザギザ葉っぱが特徴なのか. 実は送迎の代行は来てた. [ 追記 ] 0206 そもそもこんなに朝早く着くってのが狂っててw当然ホテルの朝食は抜きだし暗いうちにタクシー喚んで慣れない運ちゃんの運転にヤキモキして…とんでもない空港の込み方に驚愕してチェックイン/セキュリティチェック全て脇道スルーで何とか搭乗出来て…席はビジネスだったけど朝飯前に1日分のやること終わらせた感じ. #dailylife #breakfast #phobo #phởbò #vietnamesefood #beefnoodle #phuquocisland #đảophúquốc #vietnam

India

Although more than a quarter of the Hindu population is vegetarian, the food of this country is very diverse. Most of its dishes contain grains (mainly rice or wheat), vegetables, and, on some occasions, meat from chicken, lamb, goat, or buffalo, but never from cows. Yogurt is often used to prepare sauces, and dishes are seasoned with pepper, cumin, turmeric, ginger, or chili. The dishes you must try: Uttapam: similar to a pizza, made from lentil and rice flour.

Mix veg uttapam for breakfast today. Happy Monday everyone. #southindian #uttapam #southindianbreakfast #merrytummy #indianbreakfast #breakfasttime

Mexico

Although we are familiar with the cuisine of our country, when we talk about ethnic food we refer to dishes that belong to an ethnicity and that have over 150 years of history. Thus, fusion cuisines or reinterpretations of typical dishes are not considered ethnic gastronomy. The dishes you must try: Tamales: it is estimated that there are over 5000 varieties across the country.

Spicy pork tamales. Yum! 😍 . . . #tamales #pork #food #foodie #foodporn #foodpics #foodphotography #thrillist #infatuation #eeeeeats #eater #foodgasm #feedme #feedfeed #detroit
