Have Your Ever Shopped an Asian Supermarket Online?

People are ordering and buying more online today than ever before, and groceries are an increasing part of the mix. If you've already embraced the trend, try branching out, like shopping at an Asian supermarket. It's a quick way to add new items to your pantry and help your family eat healthier when choosing your recipes carefully. For example, if you have BBQ lovers in your family, try making it with Korean-style sauces next time. They give their own twist to BBQ flavor, and some of the sauces you can order are bona fide crowd-pleasers. Your barbecue-loving family will be impressed with new tastes to sample.

If you begin to cook more Asian dishes at home, you have a lot to choose from. Every country has unique food traditions and flavorings – Korea, Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, etc. Their distinct histories have shaped their cuisines, and many have more flair than you might expect. If you've only eaten from Chinese carry-out restaurants, there's more for you to try and learn to cook. You'll also find new twists on universally loved items like pancakes. In western traditions, they're only made sweet and generally served at breakfast. In Asia, pancakes can be savory and eaten at other times of the day.

Umami, a fifth taste humans possess that is now scientifically accepted, is also a cornerstone of Asian cooking. Many condiments like soy sauce and fish sauce are intended to bring out its flavor. Many of the foods we love the most have umami, and it makes us love their taste even more. When you're shopping an Asian market online, you also can browse items you may not have purchased before, like flavoring pastes. Common in Korea and Thailand, they are the taste base of many recipes. The flavor range includes exotic spicy and curry tastes that you can sample and add to suit your family's preferences.

If you cook for spice lovers, look to Korean cuisine for ideas and ingredients. Korea is among the countries renowned for raising spicy red chili peppers. Like those from other nations, they have a unique flavor resulting from the soil and weather conditions where they are grown – and the flavors farmers have cultivated over the years. Most people agree Korean hot chili pepper pack heat, but not in an overwhelming way. Their rich and complex flavor profile is enjoyed the world over, and it's time you tried them. The same recommendation goes for Korean mustard paste. You may love its unique flavor.
