      I use kuali.com for my Malaysian recipes, which includes Singaporean, chinese and Indian. I cook Malaysian style food so the Kuali recipes are my style of cooking.

      For indian, I like bawarchi.com and sanjeevkapoor.com.

        Here are a couple of good ones.

        http://www.homemade-chinese-soups.com/soup-recipe-index.html I really like this site. This is the index. The homepage talks a bit about her background.

        http://www.vahrehvah.com/ for Indian

          I recently started a site for authentic Asian recipes. It's a user-contributed site called

          www.asiansupper.com

          If anyone out there has authentic (and modern) Asian recipes, please do contribute.

            I really like Migi's Kitchen for Korean: www.koreanhomecooking.com

              In addition the above, I read www.shesimmers.com for Thai and www.japanesefoodreport.com for the obvious.

                i went to she simmers site and saw the crispy fish with green mango http://www.shesimmers.com/2010/09/tha...
                and i said "bingo" -- i'm going to tear apart my trader joe's mahi mahi burger, and fix it this way! thanks.

                (i'd seen shesimmers before, and remember bookmarking the blog. there are so many talented bloggers...and so little time).

                ~~~~~
                and on the koreanhomecooking site, i've bookmarked something to try that is not "authentic" but sounded really tasty -- a bulgogi burger! ;-).

                  That link didn't work for me, but I googled it, and this one did:
                  http://ravenouscouple.blogspot.com/

                  I find that many "authentic" websites are in their home language, especially the Asian countries. For example, I use almost exclusively Vietnamese-language websites for Vietnamese food, especially regional cuisine. But hey, that corn pudding recipe from Ravenous Couple blog looks delicious!

                            Do you mean "Web sites for authentic Asian cooking"?

                            Or did you really want "authentic web sites" as opposed to the "fake" kind that offered info about Asian cooking?

                              These are ones I visit often:

                              www.rasamalaysia.com -hits on Malaysian, Singaporean, Thai, and Chinese, to name a few

                              www.vietworldkitchen.com -mostly Vietnamese and Chinese

                              www.userealbutter.com -go under "recipes" tab, then "savory asian"- features authentic Chinese, dishes that I ate growing up

                              www.maangchi.com -very good Korean recipes

                              www.hannaone.com -our very own hannaone's Korean recipe website

                              www.mykoreankitchen.com -more Korean recipes

                              www.chezpim.com -good Thai recipes, but you have to search for them

                              www.fuchsiadunlop.com/cooking/ -companion website for her books, I like her Sichuanese recipes

                              www.importfood.com -go to Thai Recipes, has an array of authentic Thai, some accompanied by street vendor videos

                                Tottally agree with www.rasamalaysia.com - very accessible recipes!

                                http://ilovethaicooking.wordpress.com/ - not a lot of recipes, but pretty authentic.

                                http://www.indonesianculinary.com/ - Indonesian

                                http://chubbyhubby.net/blog/ - lots of asian recipes from different countries (I think they're from Singapore, so maybe SE asia centric recipes)
