I think Asian food in general is very salty due to so many fermented and preserved foods that are utilized as ingredients.

To be fair... The long term effect of dietary sodium on blood pressure is a non issue unless you're genetically predisposed or have other risk factors. Most people I run into should be salting their foods more, especially in the summer.
But still, that sounds like a revolting amount of salt...
