    Bittergourd. How does one tone down the bitterness without losing its beneficial properties?

    I know it’s not a very common ingredient but I would search for Neem and how to use it.

    Also the many many different varieties of soy sauce

  14. Todd 22 June 2011 at 6:48 pm #

    Cassia flower preserve. A whole bunch of leafy vegetables with no English names I’ve ever seen

  15. Kathie 22 June 2011 at 7:29 pm #

    Definitely tatsoi. I see it often at the farmer’s market and would love more recipes other than stir fry.

  18. Karina 23 June 2011 at 12:22 am #

    I would look for ngo ngai or sawleaf. It is often hard to find.

  19. ginger and scotch 23 June 2011 at 12:34 am #

    I would search for galangal and how to choose it at the market

  20. Jeleen 24 June 2011 at 10:11 am #

    My first (two!) searches would be Ube (purple yam) and Chinese taro root…And of course, where I can possibly find them in my neck of the woods!!! :)

  21. Chi 24 June 2011 at 5:49 pm #

    I’d like to find more uses for red perilla (rau tia to) and rice paddy herbs (ngo om). The only uses I know of for the former is in fresh salad and for the latter is the sour soup (canh chua ca).

  27. Erin from Long Island 28 June 2011 at 1:11 am #

    Id love to be able to ID shiso leaves among all the herbaceous stuff at the market!

  28. Anna 29 June 2011 at 11:34 am #
