Answer 1

The three key influences on Filipino food culture are China, Spain, and the U.S.

• China introduced various cooking techniques, ingredients such as soy sauce and noodles, and the concept of stir-frying.
• Spain contributed through colonization, bringing dishes like adobo, paella, and the use of spices and cooking methods that shape traditional Filipino cuisine.
• The U.S. influence is seen in fast food, the incorporation of American ingredients, and the adaptation of Filipino dishes to suit American tastes.

These diverse contributions have created a rich and unique food culture in the Philippines.
