Main Courses

Our definition of a main course is a dish, usually protein-based, that provides the most bulk in a meal. It can be a stew, a chunky soup, a stir fry, roast meat, fried meat or grilled fish. This is Asia, so, rice is the default partner.

But there are instances — as in the case of one bowl meals — when the main course is the only course for lunch or dinner.
