Preparation Methods for Guamanian Cooking
Guamanian cuisine uses elements from various cooking traditions borrowed from their neighbours and developed from their own traditional dishes. While there are no specific or unique preparation methods for Guamanian cooking, we should point out that attention to detail is important in the Guamanian cuisine. Using the right amount of spices for example is essential - either for spicing up the taste or for coloring the dish. The diversity of vegetables and cereals found in Guam is also noticed in the delicious dishes belonging to their cuisine. The visual attractiveness of the dish is also important, and a balance between colors and proportion differentiates. Each traditional dish has a special cooking method, which is more or less general in all of Guam's regions. Meat is one of the main elements of most Guamanian dishes and cured and smoked hams are often parts of delicious dishes.
