Finally, our food friends and us made plans to do something besides cooking for each other and eating food. We went on a little adventure trip to the neighboring city (Oberhausen, in case anyone cares) to pick up some products we had learned about in our Thai cooking class. Mushroom sauce, for example!
We got our obligatory must-buy list:
- 3l of coconut milk
- new green Thai curry paste
- sesame
- woks
- julienne slicer
- 1.9l Kikkoman soy sauce bottles
- fresh lemon grass
- fresh galgant
- and squishy tofu (yeah, that's my professional cooking term for the type of tofu that is softer than the stuff I get at the regular supermarket)
But we also took the gamble of trying some other stuff. We mostly stay in the safe zone, but here is what we bought!
