  • Viewers of Budget Eats have asked time and time again for June to do a shopping video on where and what she buys for her spice cabinet, but the truth is... there is simply too much to pack it all into one neat video.
    Having said that, a good place to start scratching the surface of delicious flavor agents is June's favorite Chinese pantry staples. There are spices, condiments, and toppings that she's always had on hand, for good reason: they are versatile and can be added easily to any dish-not just Chinese ones!-for a bump in savoriness. And if you stick around to the end, you'll get to see a bonus round-up of her top three favorite Chinese packaged snacks.

    CORRECTION: I have been informed that "green and red Sichuan peppers are not different stages of ripeness but two distinct varieties, like red and white wine grapes." Sorry for the misinformation and please don't ever trust me again.

    When I was growing up Accent was the US accepted MSG then somewhere down the line they started screaming MSG is bad for you. But not salt in general and it was pulled from any foods it was found in. I lived in Japan for a year and went to Costco and saw a 20 lb bag of MSG … look more people live past 100 in China and Japan and MSG has been there the whole time. Makes ya wonder who is really being silly about it ( The US per usual). 😁

Food is such a great gateway to other cultures and the more people are exposed to them, the greater the chance we can normalize the scents and taste in America and globally. I'm speaking from the experience/perspective of an American kid of Chinese ancestry who would get teased with my lunch boxes during school trips because it was so foreign.

    June, thank you for the Pork Floss description! When I lived in Beijing I was eating something and saw the pork floss on top. My friend didn't know the right word to translate it so he said it was 'hairy pork'. For some reason my mind went to hair on a pig and I had to throw it away and never tried anything like that again. Pork floss is a much better description!!!

    Toasted sesame oil is so great! A lot of shops locally only have regular sesame oil, and it doesn't hit the spot if I try to substitute! But if there's no toasted sesame oil, dry toast some sesame seeds in the pan first (no oil) and then add a drizzle of untoasted sesame oil at the end instead...? (Lowest hob setting and stir regularly so they don't burn).
    Same with rice wine vinegar and mere rice vinegar, which will not do the same work in a recipe! I like to do Japanese style pickled cucumber. It just didn't taste as good when I had to get the ingredients from the normal supermarket instead of the expensive, but more authentic, range from the wholefoods store!
    I get my kimchi fresh there, and they have about 4 raw, unpasteurised, kimchi products in the fridge, to nourish my gut biome! And a bunch of different raw sauerkrauts. I tried to make my own raw kimchi... but I got scared and didn't dare to eat it!
    I prefer tamari (fermented soy sauce) to soy sauce, but I don't think I have ever bought one of the thick soy sauces mentioned in this vid, yet.
    My favourite roast potato recipe (my own take on my mum's) calls for tamari, balsamic vinegar, butter, salt and pepper to go on the parboiled chopped potatoes, bash them around slightly to fluff up the outsides and soak in the goodness, and then stick them in the oven. You can also add garlic, herbs (sage and oregano are my recommendations), chili powder, paprika (smoked or sweet), etc.!
    I'm doing duck legs today! So, I am going to cut the butter in the recipe down, drain off the fats rendered from browning the skins of the duck legs (on the hob, while the oven heats up and the potatoes parboil!), and coat the potatoes in the oils. Then I plan to adorn the bed of potatoes with the pre-crisped duck legs, in an oven dish. Wish me a nice, crispy, umami banquet!
    I will get on with a marinade for the duck legs in a minute, and will use some of the ingredients mentioned here, as I love Asian flavours!
    I can't stand century eggs though! Duck eggs are awesome fresh, just as they are! So yolky! I like them just like that, fried sunny side up, and salt and pepper! Maybe dip some homemade potato wedges in that yolky goodness (pick a cuisine; it all works, for the wedge seasoning!).

      Oof no....not really in my experience.

It's better to support local business that aren't led by huge corps like Amazon/Whole Foods (which lets be honest.....they rip you off most of the time).

      I bought bacon at Whole Foods. Zilch flavor! What a rip.

      No. Just go to your local food bank. It’s free (:

    June should make a video showing us how she makes all her favorite basic Chinese staples! I find it can be hard to find good recipes online because a lot of them are very Westernized + June will always reign supreme in my heart
