Pantry Essentials for The Beginner Drunk Cook

Let's get drunk and go through what it takes to stock pantry essentials for the beginner home cook, especially if you're going to be following along with my videos.
(Note: for the newcomer, my videos are mostly about Asian recipes so a lot of this stuff is more Asian-leaning, but this is about the VERY basics so there's stuff to cover the basics of everything.)

The wok I currently use was a gift to me, if you're really looking for one go to an Asian market and get a cheap carbon steel flat bottom wok TBH. If you don't have access to an Asian market, try Joyce Chen's carbon steel wok off Amazon: amzn.to/2CGLwAF

[@TipsyWok]

Here's hoping that meme isn't too old...

[@TheSquinette]

My family makes about a metric shit ton of fish weekly. We all keep Lemon Pepper seasoning on hand at all times. Also, good idea to have both white and brown sugar handy.

[@TipsyWok]

Very fair. I also have both but I didn't mention it- probably should have now that you bought it up!

[@CookingWithCJ]

[@TipsyWok]

Watch, someone is going to point out something obvious and I'm going to say GOD DAMN IT

[@RoundhouseRanchBBQ]

Lol Tony Montana's ashes

[@Cookshop_Channel]

These ingredients make me hungry. What about black bean sauce? I always have a jar of that stuff on hand (to put on cereal, of course).

[@Cookshop_Channel]

Got abducted by aliens, went through a wormhole, etc. My watch says I was only gone a couple of minutes but turns out it's been since, like, March. Did I miss anything?

[@TipsyWok]

Ahhhhh--no.... Nothing at all! *cough*

[@brendastrandrigdon6201]

What about comparing fresh against canned or frozen i.e. mung beans sprouts I can never find them fresh close to where I live and lo mien noodles the supermarket brand's never compare to restaurant or take out places and I love char sui pork lo mien 😋

[@TipsyWok]

99% of the time, fresh is better than frozen (obviously) but frozen is usually better than canned, depending on what kind of food you're talking about and if it's frozen/blanched properly. Some restaurants may make their own Lo mein noodles, but an Asian market near you may actually have both of these things fresh. If there is one. And you can guesstimate close enough as to what's what when little is in English 😂

[@brendastrandrigdon6201]

Tipsy Wok I understand I'm a novice when at Asian cooking but I make a mean egg roll and fried rice but would tackle anything with the right things to work with. 🙄

[@TipsyWok]

Brenda Strand Rigdon it's all about the tools! And good on you for having that attitude, sometimes that's all it takes!
