    A good hot sauce (that has flavor and not just heat) for versatility and to save some bland foods. Also soy sauce; it’s essential to many of my favorite Asian recipes.

      It never dawned on me to mention soy sauce (also Shanxi aged vinegar) because those have the same status as “salt” in my cooking.😂

        Hah, where I live there is not a great selection of international products so my answer is a basic one. I would love to try items you described!

          The one most likely to be findable for you is the furu. If you have a Chinese/Asian grocer of any sort, they’ll have it.

          Somewhere.

          Kept out of sight on a lower or upper shelf.

          Because a lot of people think it looks very suspicious.

            Thanks! No Chinese/Asian grocers of any kind in my area, but I’ll be on the lookout when I go somewhere that has one or if I order online.
