It's important to be able to get hold of the right vegetables and fruits when you venture into Asian cooking. They have a different flavor and add a depth and nuance to the dishes that typical Danish ingredients can't quite match.

Try sweet tamarind or exciting Chinese cabbage

Due to the different climates, there is typically a large difference between the fruit and vegetables available in Denmark and those available in Asia. A wide range of exotic types of plants are included here, such as the sweet-and-sour tamarind or Chinese cabbage — a type of cabbage used in China, Japan and South Korea. The cabbage is used, among other things, in the fermented dish kimchi or as an ingredient in a good stir-fry.

Tamarind is a pod-like fruit that somewhat resembles a brown pea pod. The flavor is described as a mix of lime and plums, and in the pulp you also find some black seeds that are not eaten. If you pick tamarind before it is fully ripe, the taste will be much more tangy — almost bitter and sour. This unripe tamarind is often used in savory cooking, whereas the ripe, sweet tamarind is used for candy and desserts. Tamarind is also available as a paste or sauce that can be used to marinate meat and other foods.

Bean sprouts and Chinese radish - Two exotic ingredients

Sprouts are a popular ingredient in many Asian dishes, and at (The Danish sentence is incomplete — "hos" needs an object (e.g. "hos os" = "with us"/"at our place"). Would you like to provide the rest?) Den Kinesiske Købmand We always have fresh bean sprouts. We also offer Chinese radish — a type of radish commonly used in China and Japan. This radish is typically white or light green and has a milder taste than Western radishes. It is also much larger than the small red radishes we are used to here at home. The Chinese radish occupies a similar place to carrots in Danish cuisine. In other words, it is a very popular and frequently used vegetable.

Two other important elements in Asian cooking are ginger and garlic. Ginger and garlic are key ingredients in Asian cuisine, and we have both fresh and dried versions available. Ginger is often used in stir-fries or soups, while garlic is a common flavoring in sauces and marinades. We also offer galangal root — a root very similar to ginger that is popular in Thai dishes.
