Asian ingredients online

[Catherine Iino]

My daughter is living in Eagle Butte, South Dakota--far, far away from any store carrying ingredients for asian cuisine. Can anyone recommend an on-line source?

I have gotten good things from IndianBlend, but, they pretty much just carry Indian foods.

Amazon has a surprising amount of Asian foods. Wonton wrappers...sauces...spices.

Yeah, she's been using Amazon. I just wondered if there's anyplace else good.  She's more interested in Chinese and Japanese than Indian. But thanks to both of you.

More specifics as to region please?

 

For Sichuan specialties difficult to find even in NYC Chinese supermarkets (they might be there, but finding them is extremely tough), this place in Massachusetts has delivered for me:

Damn that's some quality looking Doubanjiang!

Thank you, Patrick! Sometimes I just don't want to order one more thing from Amazon.

 

As to region, my daughter spent last year in Zhuhai, which is next to Macau, but I don't think her culinary skills are that specialized at the moment.
