Thanks for the idea!

I was wondering, is there any possibility that you could give us a post on the use of Asian produce? My HK market carries a wide range of fresh produce that I have no idea what to do with, let alone how to shop for it. I would love to use fresh watercress, but I have no idea on how to prep them for cooking.

It would be so helpful to have a guide of this sort: how to shop for Asian produce, how to store it properly, how to prep it, and tips on how to cook it.

I suspect I would like bitter melon. I like the taste of bitter if it’s paired with other flavor profiles (sweet, sour, spicey, tart, salty, and savory), and I see many recipes for bitter melon that encompass most of these.

Any advice you could give would be much appreciated.
