Did I just say that out loud~~?!!!
Weird. I was raised on Asian food almost exclusively and grew up going to Asian markets, and I get this exact same feeling when I go to the local grocer or Safeway and browse the produce aisle -- I'm like ":confused: What ARE all these weird plants?? What do I even DO with Kale? Or turnips? Or chard?! :psyduck:"

Seriously speaking: buy a bottle of fish sauce (Nuoc mam). Pour a few dashes into stuff, like marinades and so on. Use it like Worcestershire sauce. It's a great flavor enhancer!

Looks Korean. Make this? Or hotpot?
Just a warning: a little of this goes a LONG way. Also its like 150% of your recommended daily sodium intake per tablespoon or something ridiculous.

Yeah this is true! It's strong stuff. Nobody would use an entire tablespoon of fish sauce, that's crazy!
