Yearlong initiative celebrates the melting pot of cultural flavors
that influence American cuisine CHICAGO, May 13 /PRNewswire/ --
Lawry's(R) is proud to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage
Month by encouraging families to enjoy the distinct aroma, bright
colors, and varied textures of Chinese-inspired cuisine at home.
Lawry's(R) "Cooking Up Culture" program, a yearlong celebration of
cultures that makes American cuisine vibrant and diverse, continues
this month with delicious recipes featuring Chinese and other
Asian-inspired dishes. Chinese cooking has become a vital part of
American cuisine over time as a result of over 200 years of Chinese
immigration to the U.S. Now, Lawry's encourages families to cook up
a little Chinese flavor at home in their own kitchens. "Even though
it's common for American families to enjoy Chinese cuisine while
dining at restaurants, cooking Chinese dishes at home doesn't have
to be overwhelming," said Lawry's spokesperson, B. Smith,
restaurateur and lifestyle expert. "With Lawry's(R) Marinade
flavors such as Sesame Ginger with Mandarin Orange and Teriyaki,
your family can easily enjoy exotic Asian flavors in the
convenience of your own home." Asian food was introduced to the
United States in the mid-1800s when Chinese immigrants from Canton
began settling in California. At that time, Chinese food was
consumed primarily by the Chinese community, not becoming popular
among Americans until the 1920s when young cosmopolitans began to
adopt it into their lifestyles as an exotic new cuisine. It was not
until after World War II that Asian cuisine (notably Chinese,
Japanese and Polynesian) piqued the interest of mainstream America.
Eventually, the Chinese created their own Chinatowns within major
American cities where they opened eateries identified by triangular
yellow flags. The cooking style in these new American Chinatowns
was basically stir-fried, rice- based Cantonese, which utilized
everything from vegetables, poultry, beef and pork to seafood, and
sometimes even tofu. "With its marinades, Lawry's has created
easy-to-prepare recipes, such as Moo Shu Pork and Vegetable Lo Mein
with Peanuts, that reflect the flavor and cooking style of
traditional Chinese cuisine that American families have come to
enjoy," said B. Smith. With its "Cooking Up Culture" program,
throughout the year, Lawry's will celebrate the variety of cultures
that influenced the foods we enjoy in America every day. The
celebration continues this month with delicious recipes featuring
Asian-inspired dishes. Visit http://www.lawrys.com/ to learn how to
