I feel like reverse engineering substitutes and basic concepts out of doing a lot of recipes sucks ass. How do you do this better, preferrably without getting someone from that region to teach you because where I live is not that kind of melting pot

Find some recipes, read up on techniques and practice
My parents didn’t ever teach me how to cook, so I taught myself
Now people are always inviting me to things because they know I will blow their minds with some amazing food
I made gateau invisible for a get-together last week and it was a hit
Where do you read up on techniques, then? I can read recipes and I’m a fine ass cook as substantiated by lots of people but what I want to learn is "if I were a stereotypical mom or grandma (vietnamese) what do I vietnamesically throw together out of the pantry? What do I even have in the pantry? What do I buy for special occasions because it’s worth the effort (and combine with things out of the pantry of mystery). Or is there even a pantry, does the whole thing kind of work on “go to local fresh market every two days”?
