Chinese pinkies like to spread lies to westerners that they are the center of the world and influenced all of Asia. This is WRONG. Cultures existed BEFORE the Chinese did in the region.
Chinese themselves got their foods primarily from Mongols and especially Manchu's who both ruled them for eons. Manchu's even made the Chinese wear humiliation clothes and hairstyle to mark them as owned.
The real influence of food in the region is from Mongols and Manchu's--this includes INFLUENCE ON CHINESE FOODS.
In fact, Manchu foods like dezhou chicken was so loved that later on the Chinese emperor made it part of his royal menu. Today, Manchu foods like 沙琪玛, 文宇,酸菜白肉, etc. are all over China.
Manchu's are the reason why China has Hotpot, pickled veggies, blood sausage, various buns (steamed and fried), sweet/sour soups, pastries, and even types of soft cheese and yogurts. These are iconic dishes we see in China and authentic Chinese dishes to this day. THEY ALL CAME FROM THE MANCHU'S!!!
Look up the "Manchu-Han Banquet" and you'll see exactly how much the Manchu's shaped China's foods. The banquet even defined the Chinese dining etiquette as well.
So no, the main players in the region is not China, Its the Manchus. Since the Manchu empire (Qing) died out, the Chinese assumed their cultural ownership and pretend they invented everything. They didn't.
(And I've not even covered the HUGE impact China got from annexing Tibet and Xinjiang peoples on their culture and their foods! I just might write up a huge infographic exposing Chinese lies about their foods and culture.)
In summary: Chinese LIE like their life depends on it. Don't fall for their propaganda. They didn't influence shit.
