ITEMS TO BUY AT AN ASIAN MARKET<\/strong><\/span> <\/span>Keep these items on hand and by the time you read the recipes about them a few times, you’ll feel adventuresome enough to make the delicious, classic tom yum soup.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Stalks of lemon grass.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> They may be fresh and may be in the freezer and will be wrapped like scallions. They give high lemon flavor as a soup or tea base, and you remove them before eating as they are coarse and woody.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kaffir lime leaves<\/span><\/strong>. \u00a0These will be in the freezer maybe 25-50 to a bag. They give high lemon flavor as a soup or tea base, and you remove them before eating.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gangalal.<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0This is a form of ginger. It will be in the freezer in a small tray, probably already cut into small pieces. They give sharp ginger flavor as a soup or tea base, and you remove them before eating.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chilies or chili peppers.<\/span><\/strong> \u00a0These will be in the freezer in small bags. Most of them are too hot for me; you have to find your own comfort level. I sometimes pop a whole chili in a soup and then take it out and discard it. I do not cut it open. That gives enough heat for me. Remember the high heat is in the seeds, so after handling them wash your hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fish sauce nuoc mam<\/span><\/strong>. \u00a0\u00a0I use the 3 Crabs brand. A little goes a long way. High flavor, smells hmmm fishy<\/span><\/p>\n

Chili garlic sauce.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0in a jar on the shelf. It is hotter than Sriracha sauce.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Sriracha hot sauce.<\/span><\/strong> In a twall bottle on the shelf,\u00a0 has a red rooster on the bottle. It is milder than chili garlic sauce.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Nam Prik Pao or <\/strong><\/span>Tom Yum Soup paste<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 In jars on the shelf. Try different brands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sesame Oil<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 \u00a0Usually not cooked, but added into hot soups and dressings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bunches of fresh basil or cilantro<\/span><\/strong>. Rinse before last minute adding to soups.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scallions<\/strong><\/span> find them in the refrigerator. Rinse before last minute adding to soups.<\/span><\/p>\n
