Asia's grilling culture is deep, delicious and anything but basic
Celebrate satay and smoke in Indonesia Above Photo: Street Windy / Pexels Satay may be the global poster child of Indonesian grilling, but it's just one chapter. Across Java and Bali, skewers of marinated meat—infused with sweet soy, galangal and lemongrass—are grilled over coconut shell embers. The glaze turns caramel-fragrant and sticky before it even hits your plate. Regional spins deepen the story. Bali's sate lilit wraps spiced minced meat around lemongrass stalks. Padang satay is rich with curry-like sauces. And wherever there's smoke, there's likely a roadside clay brazier. See more: The best satay in Malaysia, according to chefs In India, there's tandoor, fire and showmanship India's grill culture revolves around one holy oven: the tandoor. Clay-lined, cylindrical and ancient, this upright inferno is the original vertical grill. Skewers of marinated meat, such as Punjabi tandoori chicken, steeped in yogurt, lime and a riot of spices, are lowered into its fiery depths, emerging smoky-red and blistered. Seekh kebabs, spiced minced lamb shaped onto metal rods, come out singing with garam masala, their char as important as their tenderness. It's not grilling in the Western grate-and-flip sense, but tandoori cooking relies on the same principles: high heat fire, and a kiss of smoke. Vertical, earthen grilling, if you may. But the story doesn't end with the tandoor. Across the subcontinent, India's streets crackle with coal-fired ingenuity. In Goa, choris sausages (descended from the Portuguese chouriço) sizzle over open coals, dripping spice-laced fat that fuels the flame. In Lucknow, kebabs roast on portable coal stoves called angithi that line the lanes like culinary lanterns. Whether it's the controlled intensity of the tandoor or the chaotic romance of a roadside grill, India knows that good fire makes unforgettable food. Enjoy China's skewers, smokers and shaokao China's grill culture is massive, regional and wild. In the chilly cities of the northeast, you'll find shaokao stalls braving the cold with lamb skewers dusted in cumin and chili flakes. Xinjiang's Uyghur communities perfected these smoky sticks long before they showed up in Beijing's nightlife. Meanwhile, Sichuan brings the heat, both thermally and spice-wise. Here, skewers swim in chili oil or are grilled over open flame. Coastal towns offer butterflied squid grilled whole. Even tofu isn't spared, smoked and charred until it mimics meat in all the right ways. Char and chaos meet in Thailand barbecues Walk through a night market in Chiang Mai and you'll inhale grilling smoke long before you see the skewers. Thai grilling is fast, hot and never shy. Moo ping skewers are pork caramelised in coconut milk and fish sauce. Gai yang is chicken split butterfly-style and grilled flat over charcoal, served with sticky rice and sharp, sour jeow sauce. The north and northeast regions go deeper: sai ua, the herbaceous sausage packed with lemongrass and chilies or grilled sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves, charred outside, chewy inside. It's meat-and-rice alchemy. Grilling means street culture in the Philippines Above Photo: Alessandra Sio / Unsplash You haven't truly experienced everyday Filipino life until you've navigated a smoky sidestreet at dusk, fingers greasy with barbecued chicken or pork meat or offal. The national grill lexicon is vast, with regional specialties that include Bacolod's inasal—chicken marinated in calamansi, lemongrass and achuete—and Cebu's lechon belly, skin blistered to a glassy crisp. And then there's ihaw-ihaw, which is just the generic word for all sorts of grills. But ask for it, and you will be sent to the roadside stalls that appear like mushrooms after a rain, selling everything from mundane meats (the aforementioned pork and chicken skewers, as well as all kinds of sausages) to distinctively Pinoy delicacies (chicken or pork intestines, pig ears and cakes of coagulated blood playfully called 'betamax' because of their blocky shape). In Japan, grilling means precision, smoke and a little bit of theatre Above Photo: Shio Yang / Unsplash If Korea is a food opera, Japan is kabuki. Yakitori, yakiniku, robatayaki—grill culture here is both minimalist and highly codified. At a yakitori bar, you're not just ordering chicken; you're ordering cartilage, liver, tail, skin. Each skewer gets a different heat zone. Each bite, a culinary haiku. Meanwhile, robata-style dining channels fishing village hearths, where chefs grill over charcoal on raised platforms. Expect everything from eggplant to whole sweetfish, called ayu, glazed in miso. And in Osaka, where no flavour is left behind, street stalls torch beef tendon skewers into smoky perfection.
