FAQs

What kinds of products are in the Asian Pantry collection?

This collection brings together a curated range of Asian pantry staples — chilli oils, rāyu, miso pastes, noodles, soy sauces, sesame oils, fermented condiments, and more. Every product is chosen for its quality and the flavour it adds to everyday cooking.

Are these products suitable for vegans?

How do I use miso paste?

Miso is one of the most versatile ingredients in the Asian pantry. Dissolve it into hot water for a simple broth, whisk it into dressings and marinades, stir it through butter for a finishing sauce, or use it to glaze roasted vegetables and fish. A little goes a long way — start with a teaspoon and build to taste.

What’s the difference between soy sauce and tamari?

Soy sauce is traditionally brewed with wheat, giving it a slightly lighter, more complex flavour. Tamari is a Japanese-style soy sauce made with little or no wheat, resulting in a richer, deeper umami taste — and it’s typically gluten-free. Both work brilliantly as a seasoning, dipping sauce, or marinade base.

How should I store Asian pantry products?

Most dry goods like noodles and grains can be stored in a cool, dry cupboard. Fermented products like miso and chilli oils are best kept in the fridge once opened to preserve freshness. Always follow the storage guidance on the individual product label.
