Since John and I have been married I have gotten on this kick of cooking Asian food. I have always loved Mexican and Italian cuisine but going into a grocery store and finding new spices and sauces for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Thai food has gotten me interested in learning more about the cuisine.
Soy sauce (regular & light) Hot Chili Oil
Hoisin sauce Thai Red Chili Paste
Rice Vinegar Mirin
White & Black Sesame Seeds Toasted Sesame Oil
Coconut Milk Ground ginger (fresh in freezer)
Shitake Soy Ginger Sauce Fish Sauce
Thai Peanut Sauce Chili Sauce with Garlic
Sriracha
I only have one Asian inspired cookbook as opposed to my 4 Italian and 5 Mexican cookbooks. So if anyone has a go to cookbook let me know what my next purchase should be to add to my collection (Yes, Mama another cookbook).

I don’t have a good Asian cookbook, but I LOVE steamykitchen.com for Asian meals. I love Asian food too and have approximately 75% of the above ingredients. I made a super delicious stir fry the other week and blogged about it. We put it on our MUST MAKE AGAIN list!
