star anus seems appropriate for you

>>14506992
Sichuan peppercorns are probably the most important one outside of what you'd normally keep in the kitchen.

>>14506992
That thing on the upper left looks like dehydrated bat.

>>14507008
That's just cassia bark. The one on the bottom right looks like a dried bat, though.

>>14507015
Must be the vodka

>>14507015
I think the one on the lower right looks like a poor dried out sparrow. Poor thing.

>>14507033
It's your patriotic duty to to the Chairman to slay sparrows wherever you should find them.

A proper squirrel stands its ground.

Wtf is going on in this thread.. real answer:
- white pepper
- five spice
- star anise
- togarashi
- gochugaru
- dried red chilies
- Sichuan peppercorns
- sesame seeds

Sauces
- regular soy sauce
- dark soy sauce
- fish sauce
- sesame oil
- gochujang
- hondashi (not a sauce but having it around is useful)
- mirin

Keep this stuff along w green onions and you can fix a ton of different stuff depending on the produce you buy

>tfw the only ethnic grocery stores here are the hispanic/latino ones

>>14507909
The Mexican grocery by me has an asian section believe it or not

>>14507344
worth adding miso and/or doenjang, maybe shaoxing wine too
but really good list

>>14507033
>>14507015
Its tangerine skins lads

>>14507344

Fantastic pantry list

I would add chianking vinegar, sesame oil, dried galangal or sand ginger, shaoxing wine, turmeric powder, and dried chilis

>>14508018
Oh yeah good call
- Shaoxing wine
- black vinegar (fucking seriously good in dumpling sauce)
- oyster sauce
- laoganma (although I am personally kinda sick of the flavor after overdoing it, it can save any bullshit you make just like US hot sauce)

Other pantry stuff
- dried shiitakes
- Bonito flakes + kombu seaweed (if you want to make real dashi instead of hondashi)

Regular pantry essentials
- corn starch (tons of Chinese recipes use this)
- sugar (lol if you want, this will take your recipes to restaurant level sometimes though)

>>14508047
And miso like >>14507977 said

>>14507992
I've never heard of that one before, but I learn something new everyday.

>>14508059
This channel uses it every once in a while

>>14508061
This stuff is really try it out if you can find it, unfortunately the bottles run out very fast they're that good.

>>14508087
I'll check it out.

>>14506992
This is kinda mandatory especially for any sort of fried rice

>>14508101
That's a difficult one to find, even in China Town NYC.

>>14508108
really? It's really easy to get in L.A. but you can buy it online

>>14508101
Not impossible to find, just difficult.

>>14508111
I know, but I like wandering around and finding stuff, doing it online is no fun.

>>14508116
same, finding stuff is more fun.

Doing shit online kind of defeats the purpose of discovery.

>>14508119
Yeah, sometimes I don't know what I'm looking for until I find it.

>>14508125
... or maybe it finds me.

>>14508095
her channel is great for easily accessible chinese recipes if you want easily accessible japanese recipes check out cooking with dog or kimono mom but the latter is less technical

>>14508130

Not too many folk know about cooking prairie chickens.

>>14508140
>cooking prairie chickens

is that another channel?

>>14508156
It's OTR, Old Time Radio.
Here are a couple:

Another: http://s1.voscast.com:8428
Gunsmoke and friends

>>14508156
>>14508164
I like listening to this when working or doing other stuff.

>>14507344
you forgot rice vinegar, and sriracha senpai

great list tho. If you pick up lemons and oranges at the grocery store you can make hundreds of recipes with this list. just make sure you are stocked up on essentials like white sugar and brown sugar, garlic, ketchup, tomato paste, ect. and you'll be on your way to making nearly anything.

It has gourmet on the bottle so you know it's good.

>>14507344
ey where's your giant ass bottle of $5 cooking sake?

>>14506992
mushrooms, seaweed, shrimp paste, black vinegar, fish sauce, etc.

>>14506992
There's a lot of Asia - and so a lot of Asian spices. Fivespice is handy, but aside from sichuan pepper, you've probably already got everything necessary (cinnamon, clove, fennel, anise). Dried citrus peel, especially orange, is good for bringing a bit of brightness into spicy, earthy curries - and especially good with cinnamon-heavy pork recipes. Lemongrass is a handy thing, as is fresh turmeric, if you don't mind looking like you smoke heavily (or wearing gloves)... sesame seeds, sesame oil, poppy seed, ajwain, nigella... hot peppers, scallion, ginger, nori... there's a lot of stuff man, a lot of stuff.

>>14508101
Make your own XO Sauce
just combine your favourite bean paste, salt, msg, sugar and dried, reconstituted and fried seafood

>>14507344
>Spices
>Chink shit
Okay Charlie chu

I stumbled on this stuff a while back and it's top notch
Think it's "Chinese 13 Spice"
I use it like a dry rub to pan fry meats, Amazing on fresh fish or chicken, can then be tossed into a stirfry
Also kebabs; chicken hearts, octopus, mushrooms, whole flounder, fuck I made myself hungry

Op is asking for spices and you niggers keep posting irrelevant shit like wines

>>14506992
shallots, fired onions and soya sauce is all you need.

>>14508177
it's not asian enough.
