ESSENTIALS
While Amazon is convenient, visiting your local Asian market can be so much fun. The snack isles are wonderful. Before shopping online, try visiting your local asian market. You will see something you interesting each time you visit.
- Sharp Knives
- KIWI Brand: This is the quintessential southeast Asian knife. Go to your local asian market for better prices.
- Benriner Mandoline
- We bought ours when it was about $30 back in 2018. Prices has increased immensely since then. Careful to not buy knockoffs. I recommend buying only authentic Made in Japan versions. The quality of those not made in Japan and those made elsewhere is night and day.
- Mortar and Pestle
- The clay mortar and wooden pestle is a must-have in our house.
