I disagree with the characterization of asian cooking.This is true, itstoomuch.Victoria,
Does it really matter on what and how you prepare the food. It is food. and If you dont like the preparation, prep another way the next time.
The reason for my questions is that the Asian cuisine seems too complex for my preferences. And people, like the woman in the Vietnamese store I mentioned in the OP, emphasize the need for elaborate preparation, sophisticated sauces, and other work. I am looking for 80/20 solutions: maximum nutrition with minimum effort. I have created an optimum diet using groceries from Costco, Whole Foods, Mom's, and a local Safeway. But recent visits to Asian food stores have opened new opportunities, which I'd like to explore on my own terms.

Sophisticated sauces available in bottles.
researching and worrying about new food types seems above and beyond minimal effort.
