KidKruger Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 So it?s worth knowing there are a couple of decent Asian ingredient shops in Peckham. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/227325-east-asian-cooking/#findComment-1342617 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastAsianCooking Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 I have been to Khan's, will check it out. ThanksThere is a new large Vietnamese restaurant opening on the Old Kent Road, opposite Tesco.Sue - Ah yes I have. It is okay, found what I needed but I find it quite expensive.What is everyone's favourite East Asian dish? I love king prawn pad thai and Vietnamese spring rolls. Also love, salmon terriyaki.

It's not as good as Wing Tai, but the crazy music pumping out on massive PA speakers can make a visit worthwhile.There is also a Vietnamese shop called Kim Lien, on Peckham High St. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/227325-east-asian-cooking/#findComment-1343113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Khan's in Peckham has an extensive selection of Asian ingredients and is by far the cheapest. Wing Tai Peckham Hanoer Park extensive Chinese ingredients and spices most of which I am not familiar with.

TheArtfulDogger Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 One of my nemesis' is Wing Yip on the Purley Way. Not quite local but it's like going into the pub for just one pint, going in for one item normally sees me coming out with a trolley load and a few hundred quid worse off but with a big grin on my face and weeks of joyous cooking to follow 😅For Vietnamese cooking I rate Luke Nguyen as having some creative ideas, if you are looking for Japanese then try a book called Hashi (the Japanese one pot sticky rice is to die for ) Just off to my bookshelf now to thumb through for something tasty for later in the week Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/227325-east-asian-cooking/#findComment-1343220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV0210 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 The See Woo in Greenwich is also good. I haven't been to Chinatown for many years now, I am sure it has changed a lot...Thank you ArtfulDogger. I will check them out. I love sticky rice, never tried to make it myself. I own a rice cooker I wonder if I can make it in that....What other dishes have you made?

KidKruger Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Sticky rice is the easiest of all rices to make.You just need a steaming basket.We make it weekly no probs, takes 20mins start to finish. But you gotta soak the rice for a few hours beforehand, so soak/rinse before going to work, to cook that evening.

TheCat Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Have made this super simple (but pretty impressive) one a number of times when people come over....its from jaime rather than an Asian chef, but has proven very popular....https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/fish-recipes/steamed-thai-style-sea-bass-and-rice/Given its often for dinner party guest, I splash out and get fresh Seabass fillets from Moxons (not cheap_....my only comment on the recipe would be to remove the skin from the fish, as the fish is steamed over the top of the flavoured rice as the rice finishes coooking, and steamed skin is far from ideal....also, I usually add plenty of kaffir lime leaf to the paste to give it a real thai flavour kick...

Massive range of Chinese ingredients, and also quite a bit of Thai/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese stuff. Fresh fish/seafood straight from the market, significantly cheaper than any fishmonger I've ever seen. Huge range of frozen seafoods too.
