Edamame	Green Soybeans. Usually served in Japanese restaurants as an appetizer. You can buy them fresh or frozen. For the most part you will only be able to find the frozen kind which is the same as in restaurants. They come peeled and unpeeled. Upon receiving edamame from Asia Foods be sure to freeze right away.
Enoki Mushroom	It has white long stems with small caps.
Fish Sauce	Fish sauce is a thin, salty liquid that is used in place of salt as a seasoning in many Asian recipes. Although associated primarily with Vietnamese and Thai cuisine, it is also used in parts of southern China and occasionally in Cantonese cooking. Made from salted fish, fish sauce is used both in cooking and as a dipping sauce. Chinese brands are often labeled "fish gravy" or "fish sauce," while it is called "nuoc mam" in Vietnam and "nam pla" in Thailand. They are all basically the same product; however, the Thai and Vietnamese brands are considered superior. Fish sauce can be stored indefinitely without refrigeration in a dry place
Foo Gwa	See Bitter Melon.
