Which Asians would you be talking about? Certainly not the Chinese. I
was communicating with a lady who spent a month in China and managed
to visit many rural areas. Her observation was that the most common
oil used in cooking was Chinese Rape seed oil.

I don't believe the Vietnamese cook with coconut oil nor do the
Japanese. The Thai people use coconut milk in many of their curries as
do South Indians.
