ʻO nā mea ʻono a me nā ʻuala nā mea pono i nā kīʻaha he nui o ka honua. ʻAʻole wale lākou e hoʻohui i ka ʻono a me ke ʻano i nā kīʻaha akā hoʻonui pū i ka ʻike culinary holoʻokoʻa. ʻO East Timor, he ʻāina liʻiliʻi ʻo ʻAsia Hikina Hema, he meaʻai kūʻokoʻa e hui pū ana i ka ʻInidonesia, Pukiki, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. Ma kēia ʻatikala, e ʻimi mākou i nā mea ʻono kaulana a me nā meaʻai i hoʻohana ʻia i ka kuke ʻana o East Timorese.
Nā mea ʻala kuʻuna a me nā sauces i ka ʻai ʻana o East Timorese
He hoʻoilina waiwai ka meaʻai ʻo East Timorese e komo pū ana i nā mea ʻono a me nā mea ʻono. ʻO kekahi o ia mea ʻala ʻo "batar daan," he paʻi ʻala i hana ʻia me nā chili, shallots, kālika, a me ka paʻakai. He mea nui ia i nā kīʻaha he nui, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻiʻo a i ʻole ka iʻa. ʻO "Bibi dalik" kekahi mea ʻono kaulana i hana ʻia mai ka niu kuʻi, lemongrass, a me ka wai lime. Hoʻohana mau ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he luʻu no nā mea kanu, iʻa, a i ʻole ka ʻiʻo i kālua ʻia.
ʻO kekahi ʻano kuʻuna maʻamau ʻo "papaya saboko," i hana ʻia me ka papaya pala, chili, a me ka wai lime. He mea ʻono a ʻawaʻawa ia i hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he kīʻaha ʻaoʻao a i ʻole ka ʻuʻu. Hoʻohana nui ʻia ʻo "Tukir," he mea ʻai iʻa fermented i ka meaʻai ʻo East Timorese. Hana ʻia ia ma ka hui ʻana i ka iʻa, ka paʻakai, a me ka wai a hoʻokuʻu ʻia no nā pule he nui. Hoʻohana ʻia ia ma ke ʻano he mea ʻala i nā sopa, stews, a me nā curries.
ʻO nā mea ʻala a me nā kīʻaha o kēia manawa ma East Timorese Cuisine
Me ka mana o ka hana hou a me nā ʻano meaʻai honua, ua hoʻohana pū ka meaʻai East Timorese i nā condiments a me nā meaʻai o kēia manawa. ʻO "Sambal oelek," he paʻi chili i hoʻohana mau ʻia i ka meaʻai Indonesia, i kēia manawa he mea ʻono kaulana ma East Timor. Hana ʻia ma ka wili ʻana i nā pepa chili hou me ka paʻakai a me ka vīneka.
ʻO ka "Kecap manis," kahi mea ʻono soy, he mea ʻono punahele hoʻi ma East Timor. He mānoanoa, waiwai, a ʻono iki, e lilo ia i mea ʻai maikaʻi loa no nā ʻiʻo a me nā mea kanu i hoʻomoʻa ʻia. Ua loaʻa nō hoʻi ke ala i loko o ka meaʻai ʻo East Timorese i ka ʻai pīkī, i hoʻohana mau ʻia i ka meaʻai ʻAsia Hema. Hana ʻia ia mai nā pīni lepo, waiu niu, a me nā mea ʻala a hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he ʻū a i ʻole he ʻuala no nā kīʻaha satay.
I ka hopena, hāʻawi ka ʻai ʻo East Timorese i nā ʻano mea ʻala a me nā mea ʻono o kēia wā e hoʻohui i ka ʻono a me ka hohonu i kā lākou mau kīʻaha.

Inā he mea makemake ʻoe i nā meaʻai kuʻuna a i ʻole nā mea ʻai hou, aia ka meaʻai East Timorese i kahi mea e hāʻawi ai ma ke ʻano o nā condiments a me nā ʻuala.
