Available at larger groceries with an international section or any Asian market. Key to good sesame noodles and sauces.

Made of rice and tapioca these make a fun addition to spring rolls and are gluten free.

Important for any Asian cooking. Easy to find anywhere. Comes seasoned or unseasoned. Both kinds work well but I prefer unseasoned.

Usually in the produce section of the grocery store. These are an egg past we use to make egg rolls and pastas. Cheap and easy.

This is central to many sauces we make. Available everywhere. We used Lee Kum Kee brand.

The secret ingredient to almost everything we made at the Bistro. Slow cooked in olive oil, its sweet, sticky, and full of mild garlic flavor. Click pic for recipe.
