You've watched the videos, saved the recipes, then spent two hours calling around town trying to find white miso paste and gochugaru. Most stores have "Asian sections" with maybe soy sauce and some sketchy oyster sauce from 2019.
Here's the sad truth: authentic Asian cooking is impossible without the right foundational ingredients. We provide enough for you to make this incredible pork katsu dish twice.
.
Stop settling for "close enough" substitutions. Stop paying $3.99 for tiny bottles of sesame oil at markup stores. Stop hunting through five different specialty shops.
What's in your kit:
- 8 tablespoons white miso paste (the umami game-changer)
- 4 teaspoons mirin (authentic Japanese sweetness)
- 4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil (the real stuff, not the fake oil)
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (for that perfect finish)
- 4 tablespoons light soy sauce (proper Asian soy, not the thick stuff)
- 5 teaspoons rice vinegar (sharp, clean acidity)
- 2 teaspoons gochugaru (Korean chili magic you can't find anywhere)
- 2 pinches white pepper (the secret Asian spice)
- 5 cups panko breadcrumbs (authentic Japanese texture)
$19.79 shipped. Two restaurant-quality meals. Your complete Asian pantry starter.
You'll still need fresh pork, corn, pea shoots, and basic pantry items, but those are the parts any grocery store can handle.
Shipping is included and the items will be shipped inside 24 hours of your order.
