Well Stocked Pantry - Page 3

You need oyster sauce. It will make any cooked vegetable taste great.

for me, I buy a lot of more obscure stuff when I travel and pantry them, or I make my mom in America send me stuff: - different oils and vinegars, particularly harder to find ones - chipotle chiles en adobo, these make my chili - Minnesota wild rice, Thai jasmine rice, basmati rice, and then local short-grain sticky rice, along with a couple tubs of microwave rice - a few different pastas - rice noodles - that powdered instant Ranch dressing you make from milk and mayonnaise - french onion soup powder - S&B powdered wasabi and powdered Karashi mustard - Japanese Heinz demiglace sauce in the can - Ajinomoto Chicken Gara soup granules - teabag packed Bouqet Garni (S&B make these) - Some instant curry pastes - canned corn, always a couple cans of chick peas, some kidney and black beans - mirin, cheap sake (like Gekkeikan), rice vinegar, a couple different soy sauces, regular sesame seed oil and also rayu - instant dashi, like Hondashi - miso - kombu - dried wakame - dried shiitakes - dried wood ear mushrooms - doubanjang - sambal oelek, hoisin sauce, sriracha (refrigerated after opening) - Fleur de Sel for most stuff, a little Murray River salt, a Japanese pink saly with a grater, and Fleur de Sel-based crushed table salt - pink, white, black peppercorns, whole, and then a bottle of black with a built in grinder - lazy lemon and lime for emergencies - canned bamboo shoots - a can of the harder outers in strips and then a can of the tender hearts whole I usually keep all of this stuff on hand plus a huge array of spices and herbs, along with some Korean stuff, and I can make most everything I want.
