Girl going short without hot eastern food (5)
I believe the answer is:
sushi
'food' is the definition.
(I know that sushi is a type of dish)
'girl going short without hot eastern' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'hot' could be 'h' (abbreviation, eg on taps) and 'h' is found within the answer.
'girl' could be 'susi' and 'susi' is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sushi that I've seen before include "Cold rice dish, often with raw fish" , "fare from Japan" , "Asian food" , "oriental dish" , "Japanese cuisine" .)
