Cooking Your Favourite Asian Take-Out At Home
Lunar New Year got you feeling inspired? Us too! So why not cook up a Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, or Asian-inspired feast with authentic ingredients from Leo Foods?
Rice. The go-to staple ingredient for a host of Asian recipes. But did you know that there are different kinds of rice for different dishes? Long grain rice is soft and fluffy when cooked, short grain rice is mildly sticky, and glutinous rice (or sushi rice) is very sticky, so if you’re feeling inspired to try your hand at sushi making, you’ll want to pick up Okomesan sushi rice (and Kaitatuya sushi nori sheets!) from Leo Foods for an authentic flavour and texture!
For an all-purpose staple for any Asian recipe, Red Umbrella jasmine rice is a great go-to. It’s mildly sticky texture and floral flavour means it pairs well with just about any savoury dish. And if you’re looking to eat healthier, go beyond nutrient-rich brown rice and pick up Red A black rice from Leo Foods’ online shop. It has all the health benefits of brown rice with an even higher percentage of easily-absorbed iron for healthy blood.
If you’re more of a noodle person, you’ll find a host of noodle styles at Leo Foods. Authentic Cock brand pad Thai noodles for a classic dish easily made at home (don’t forget to get Cock brand pad Thai paste to go with it!), Mie raman noodles for a tasty base for any of your favourite raman flavour combinations, Marutsune soba noodles that are wonderful in rich Asian broths, Long Life egg noodles to make your favourite take-out chow mein from the comfort of your own home, Aroy-D rice paper for hand-rolled salad rolls, and more!
Don’t worry about cooking up complex sauces to go alongside any Asian dish you happen to fancy, either. Leo Foods’ online Asian supermarket has everything you could possibly need, all ready to go! We stock a full spectrum of authentic Asian sauces and pastes that will give any Asian recipe the flavour you’re looking for: Kiwami katsuobushi, Aroy-D chilli paste, Lotus red chili paste, Honzukuri white or red miso paste, Saitaku wasabi paste, Aroy-D sweet chili or sweet and sour sauce, Eagle sriracha sauce, Lee Kum Mee hoisin sauce, Healthy Boy oyster sauce, Lee Kum Mee vegetarian stiry-fry sauce, Yamasa teriyaki sauce, among many more.
We also carry a major selection of coconut milks and creams to compliment an array of Asian dishes. Try cooking your favourite rice curry with Heera coconut milk instead of water for a sweeter, creamier consistency, or stir in a spoonful or two of Aroyo-D coconut cream into your favourite Asian curry for a delicious twist. Chao Thai coconut cream powder is a tasty addition to chicken, prawn, or pineapple fried rice.
And if your recipe calls for oil or vinegar of just about any kind, you’re sure to find it at Leo Foods! KTC coconut oil, Heera castor oil, KTC corn oil, Heera flaxseed oil, Heera mustard oil, Lee Kum Mee sesame oil, Mizkan sushi seasoning, Mizkan rice or mirin vinegar, 1 & 1 apple vinegar, Finestra Cielo brown rice vinegar, and more.
Add to that an extensive selection of spices and spice mixes and you’re sure to find just about everything you need to create your favourite, most delicious Asian meals at home!
