Now this is geek soup.

My husband and I are fascinated with Asian cuisine. We love specialty items, and I especially love finding something I've never used or prepared and deciding that's for dinner tonight. While I would have liked to go whole-hog, hardcore homemade on this, I was hungry and lazy and I didn't feel like it. Besides, everyone else is doing it, so why shouldn't we use instant Chinese bouillion mix? I'll be a stock snob later; this was good. And very diet-friendly.

Alas, my non-American and/or rural friends, some of these items may not be found in your area, but most of them, if you have a big grocery store and any kind of Asian population in your area, can be found in the specialty section.
