>What are some things I should pick up?
Disgusted looks and snide comments from the owners, white boy.

Why are you going if you don't know what to get?

noodle cups. I fucking hate how they get away with selling what is essentially chips flavoring and pasta for such high prices but they are YUMMY

>>15578379
a bunch of instant mixes like rendang, curry pastes, adobo mix, tom yum, etc. because you clearly have no idea what the fuck you're doing. I could give you a real list of good shit to pick up but you're too dumb for that.

>>15578379
Kaffir lime leaves

Oyster sauce. Only this brand and kind. Other country's version is disgusting and LKK Panda brand is lower quality.

>>15578466
Nice gatekeeping, asshole.

ITT: seething chinks

>>15578582
there's nothing to gatekeep. I could suggest buying a bucket of belacan, but OP is immediately going to say WHAT DO I DO WITH THAT as if it weren't in every single fucking dish in three large countries. If OP knew how to cook Asian food he'd already have a shopping list.

Shaoxing (Chinese cooking wine)

>>15578582
Go back right now.

Also sesame oil is based for making rice not terrible and not stick to the cooker. Also take a pic of some crazy seafood or you really are a redditer

>>15578379
These if you can, really just take a look around and get what you want.

>>15578379
I usually buy a stack of shin ramyun and a bag of fresh kimchi.
They usually have soup packs as well, I like Lobo's. If you end up liking it you can just buy all the ingredients separately to make more.

>>15579892
i remember taking these to elementary and eating these fuckers dry

>>15579921
They're amazing, aren't they?

>>15579945
ate these everytime i visited my dad, even took them when we went fishing but cant get ahold of them now unless i want to waste 10 bucks on gas for a round trip to the nearest asian market

>>15578392
fpbp

>>15578379
Bunch of cheap produce, stock up on weird ass ramen and frozen noodles and get some weird ass frozen dumplings and shit. Also kombu, seaweed snacks, bonito flakes and some random snacks.

Man I got like 3 asian markets close by over here, it's been a minute. I should go.

>>15579960
I get that, I haven't had them in years, but I used to get a couple boxes at a time so that way I had enough for a few months. It's actually funny really, I also used to eat them when I stayed with my Father as well.

>>15578582
Gatekeeping is always good. Keeps retards like you out.

>>15579996
Mine has recently started selling those waifers with anime cards, I bought one ironically and now I can't stop

We should ban these supermarkets by outlawing imports labeled in chinese or korean

>>15580064
incel hands made this

Prawn crackers

>>15580064
that reminds me of a certain website i visit

Spicy dried peas if you can find them.

>>15578604
Or you could not be a fucking pedant and call it shrimp paste you plebbit yellow fever faggot

im quite partial to koh-kae nuts

>>15580064
has this shit ever actually happened in real life

>>15578379
>oyster sauce
>fish sauce
>fresh ginger
>spring onions
>tofu
>shrimp-flavored chips
>strawberry pocky
They also have an incredible instant ramen selection. Mine also has a great meat and fish selection, all very fresh.

>>15580444
I'd get a couple of bags of different frozen dumplings too

>>15580327

good curry powder, tenmenjang, toubanjang, xiaoshing wine, good soy sauce, sichuan pepper corn.
as far staples go this is what i usually try to keep in stock. but there's a myriad of staples you could be buying so i'd say look up how to make your favorite chinese foods and make a shopping list yourself.

>>15580424
>in real life
Not very many real life instances of this since real life hobbies with concrete real-life rules tend to maintain their integrity by virtue of continuing to exist
See: golf, tennis, etc

>>15580424
Let me put it this way: The latest version of D&D features wheelchair-accessible dungeons.

>>15578604
Wait wait wait. So you're afraid they'll listen to your advice, value your opinion, and want to learn more from you? And you see that as a negative? Are you okay, anon?

>>15580503
I don't see the point

>>15580516
solid list, I'd add some chinese vinegar

>>15580603
Ohhh no! A game where you make everything up and follow only the rules you want to offers a suggestion that you don't have to follow!

THE HORROR

>>15580626
Yes, thanks for reminding me, I knew I was missing something. Pepper beef with black vinegar is super based.

>>15580630
>A game where you make everything up and follow only the rules you want to offers a suggestion that you don't have to follow
You know full well that the average D&D group doesn't actually do that, and those that are smart enough to actually ignore the rules will end up actually using their brains and move onto a system that isn't D&D.

miso paste

Chicken feet, enucleated duck heads, pig kidneys, brown meat, fish sauce, 1000 year old eggs, and Pocky

>>15581348
>Pocky
J-List please come back ;_;

>>15581356
Pocky is overrated. The chocolate mushrooms/bamboo shoots are a lot better

>>15581393
Japan exclusive pocky is unironically better than the shit we get in the west.
the Yubari King Melon flavor is divine.

>>15581393
Actually you have to pick a side, it's either Kinoko no yama, which is the shrooms, or takenoko which is the bamboo. it's a tale as old as Japan itself and it divides Japanese society clearly. I personally am a Takenoko chad, pic related it's me

>>15581444
And of all the really shitty Asian candy products, Pocky is about as good as it gets. They don't have chocolate bars and shit that can compare to the worst gas station candy in the US. 90% is not really recognizable as candy in US.

>>15581480
Your taste buds got eradicated by years of consuming high fructose corn syrup shapes and grease fried dough. While we get to enjoy high quality Japanese sweets with a more refined flavor profile than 'sweet' or 'salty'. God damn flyovers I swear to god

>>15580444
>>15581348
>>15581356
>>15581393
>>15581444
>>15581480
Pocky is as good as it gets? no way dude. Yan-yans by Meiji are wayyyy better. they even have little jokes written on the sticks.

>>15581356
OMGJapan sells most Jap-exclusve sweets at okay-ish prices, depending on where you're ordering from. It's still marked the fuck up, but whatever.

>>15581461
>mfw I have to share this board with takenoko no sato subhumans
Disgusting. You're going to have to leave. This board, this website, is for kinokochads only.

>>15578604
>>>r*ddit dot com slash aznmasculinity. Being tough on the internet does not actually count.

>>15580390
these are based

>>15581517
>kinoko no yama
mfw

>>15581574
>he actually thinks his takenoshit is in anyway superior to the almighty kinoko

>>15581587
It is, while I am munching on delicious bamboo you are slurping away on mushrooms which are penis shaped. You might not be able to confront the truth but I believe that Kinocucks are repressed homosexuals. Look up Sigmund Freud.

>>15581636
>literally eating a choco biscuit shaped like a mound of feces
>"BUT TAKENOSHIT IS SHAPED LIKE BAMBOO SHOOTS!"
Nice try, faggot.

>>15581675
I'll admit to eating shit if you admit to eating dicks

Hit up an Asian cooking blog and get an idea of things you’d like to make and ingredients you don’t have. I like https://rasamalaysia.com/ and https://thewoksoflife.com/

The best soy sauce is Pearl River Bridge Superior Light Soy Sauce

>>15578379
Prefried tofu pockets. Eggplants. Bean sprouts. Mochi ice cream. Frozen dumplings. Daikon or mu radish. Dangmyeon. Kohlrabi. Rice cakes. Sake or soju. Sheet masks. Black sesame seeds. Nori. Kimchi. Brown jasmine rice. Gochujang.

>>15582126
These are amazing. Got any more like this?

Covid

>>15582485
I wish, I’ve learned a bunch of great stuff from those sites.

>>15578379
Your dignity.

>>15578379
some common sense so you know to post a bigger filesize

Asian girls
Just make eye contact, smile, and ask them to help you shop

>>15578379
Tampons

>>15582728

>>15582756
Yes and?

>>15582761
And nothing else, you'll soon learn from your mistakes boy.

>>15582767
Well I've been pumping and dumping Asian girls for ten years when do I learn?

>>15582728
All men are your brothers. Don't treat them like that.

>>15582774
when one of them gets preggo and hits you up for some child support.

>>15582783
Well they're definitely better than niggers

>>15582785
How are they supposed to find my real name again?

>>15582801
>He thinks asian women can't track you down at the drop of a pen
kek, enjoy whatever there is to enjoy from it while it lasts

>>15582808
Been enjoying it for ten years guess I'll keep enjoying it

>>15578379
You should definitely try and pick up some yung gai, personally I like the ones from China's Long Dong province.

Should've picked up some panko

Kewpie mayo. Once you have it, you can never go back to regular.

>>15578379
bamboo, oyster sauce, shrooms, for a chicken with all the above

>>15578400

One of the best things about being a white that speaks fluent Mandarin is surprising chinks who are chatting shit about customers in supermarkets or takeaways.

kimchi (cabbage and radish ones)
miso paste
dashi
frozen stuff (dumplings, baos etc. I like mochis with beans and peanut cream)

>>15578379
the coof

Miso
Hondashi
Wakame
Green onion
Frozen fried tofu

>>15578407
huh?

>>15578466
kys you retard faggot loser

>>15579892
mama ramen mogs every other kind. get this, I like the chicken kind

>>15580509
wow I've never seen canned boba. It's got the tapioca in it? how is it compared to the stuff at tea shops?


to OP, as far as snacks, get a big variety of different types of ramen. Chinese and southeast asian brands will be the best. Spicy korean ones are also pretty good. a good jap brand is nissin raoh, also japanese maruchan makes a really good udon bowl with a piece of fried tofu on the top (kitsune)

Can I get a whole big cut of sashimi and just eat a fuckton of it with nothing else cheaper than ordering it from a sushi place?

>>15584450
Anon is asking why are you going to an Asian supermarket, if you're not sure on what you should get.

>>15584546
I grew up eating the shrimp flavored noodles, but the chicken ones are really good as well.

Semen in Ramen makes it better. Not even kidding. Its like almost creamy. You need like two or three loads though.

>>15578379
Soup herb mixes. Get the ones with whole herbs instead of just sachets if they have any

These if they're available

Thai basil.

>>15578379
douban jiang for mapo tofu

>>15584546
>mama ramen mogs every other kind
Pls, Shin is much better

Hijacking the thread to ask a quick couple of questions about kimchi, which I'm attempting to make for the first time (vegetarian version) today.

I couldn't be arsed to find an Asian supermarket to get the perfect ingredients, so the possible ingredients I've got for the kimchi paste are as follows: soy sauce, sriracha, chilli flakes, garlic, ginger, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, caster sugar. Some combination of that should be ok to make something resembling kimchi paste, right?

Second question - is the process of making kimchi essentially just smothering the base vegetable(s) in the paste, maybe adding a small amount of water, and then leaving in airtight glass jars for a few days to ferment? I'm thinking of trying five different opions:

1) Red cabbage + spring onion
2) Red cabbage + cucumber + spring onion
3) Red cabbage + radish + spring onion
4) Carrot + radish + spring onion
5) Aubergine (eggplant) + spring onion

How do those sound?

>>15578466
You seem like you don't have many friends... You clearly don't know how to socialize.

>>15584308
I'm just going to say it, I don't think that guy has ever been to an Asian grocery store.

>>15580603
