Pema is the "woman of the household" and it's a traditional role for the woman to handle the cooking as well as cleaning. Not to suggest in any way that men are incapable of this role or that a woman's place is the kitchen but this is our world's version of the 1920s. Now, the avatar series hardly makes women look weak or sensitive as we've seen Korra,Toph, Azula, Asami and Suki just to name a few who've disproved that believe. And just because Asami was helping out with the dishes doesn't mean that anyone else wouldn't have done the same. Asami likely volunteered first being the curteous person she is.
