Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 You know I have this awersome Asian ingredient book and I take it with me when I shop in the Asian markets. I try to find out what I'm buying but sometimes the sign above the veggie is in characters and I never do find out. I love the nuri and buy a huge bunch for 50 cents. Hard to even find decent fresh chives and nuri tastes even better to me. The name of my book is : " Asian Ingredients " a guideto the foodstuffs of China, Japan, Korea, Thailand and Vietnam by Bruce Cost I found mine used for a few dollars, it has a wealth of information on cooking, many recipes, etc. 322 page book and Amazon might have a used copy if anyone is interested.

I cut the potatoes in fourths, boil til tender, drain put back in pan add butter, some fresh chopped parsley (just a little) and alot of snipped nuri. http://japanesefood.about.com/library/pictures/blnira.htm Japanese chives (nuri) See if you can find some nuri, it's like chives but a better flavor, slight garlic It's good in stir fries, chopped over rice, in salads, etc. I also like to use black rice and black sesame seeds.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 you must be reading our minds here as we are planning a trip to a new Asian supermarket that opened recently and is suppose to stockpiled with all kinds of great things -- would you happen to have the ISBN for the book you mention -- wondering if it is the same book that I already have -- really need to find with color pictures in it so that when the sign is written in a language that I do not know can possibly tell by sight -- thanks again -- Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: You know I have this awersome Asian ingredient book and I take it with me when I shop in the Asian markets.
