Which Cuisines Would Adapt Best To Space?

+0
−0

If you take all of earth's food and cuisines, which ones would be the mostly logically adapted to be made and eaten in a microgravity-freefall environment within the following constraints.

Let's assume you'll be cooking in microgravity or freefall, that you access to a microwave/stove and a skillet/wok/pan (it works via mini-centrifuge) and a "glove box" or hood to assemble stuff in. So no gas stove or any actual fire, maybe some convection stovetops?

For ingredients we've got at the very least (deep breath). . .

  • Rice
  • Bamboo
  • Yeast
  • Mushrooms
  • Mycoburger
  • Fish
  • Algae
  • Insects
  • Rabbit
  • Some goat milk
  • Soy
  • Tofu
  • Goat Meat
  • Chicken
  • Some Shellfish

(These are just what I can think of)

What is not available/has to be imported at an expense is beef as you can't really keep cattle in space as well as some other ingredients that can't be grown/kept locally (like wild morels)

Edit: Based on commetray this has been edited for more clarity and to make it less broad
