Thanks for this video…most helpful
I really enjoyed your video! Thank you!
Great video! I was surprised to see that I have most of what you mentioned already in my pantry. There is only one change I would make and that is the fish sauce… my favorite that I would never change is Red Boat 40. It is widely considered to be the best available. The only problem is finding it. LOL If you can, please give it a try and I think you will agree and never use any other brand again!
Some of my friend actually recommended Red Boat brand as well so I was always curious about it! I must give it a try soon!!!
I’m so excited. I have everything except black vinegar
I try to avoid sodium, is there an alternative to rice wine?
Thank You so much for sharing and showing the ingredients for Asian cooking. I have a large Asian farmers Market here in Atlanta, Georgia. Now I know what to look for when I cook my Asian dishes.
