What’s in the Box 🥢✨
Big flavor, rich tradition, and exciting pantry discoveries — this month’s Foodie Box Love Taste of Asia Box is packed with bold ingredients and craveable sauces that make home cooking feel like an adventure. It’s the kind of gourmet food subscription box that introduces new favorites while celebrating beloved Asian flavor traditions.
Whether you’re gifting a curious foodie or expanding your own pantry, this box brings the perfect mix of heat, umami, tang, and versatility.
Asian Food Fun Facts
Dim sum means “touch the heart” in Cantonese.
It refers to a traditional brunch-style meal made up of small plates like dumplings, buns, and other bite-sized dishes, typically served with tea. It’s a dining experience built around sharing, tasting, and enjoying a variety of flavors together — which is exactly the spirit we love in this month’s box.
Hot Pot Queen – Sichuan Konjac Noodles
If you love bold, spicy, tingly noodles, these are such a fun find.
Hot Pot Queen’s Sichuan Konjac Nom Nom Noodles are innovative, ready-to-eat noodles made from the root of the konjac plant. They’re naturally low in carbs and calories, with a satisfyingly bouncy, chewy texture that makes every bite interesting and delicious.
What really makes them shine is the sauce: a spicy, tongue-tingling Sichuan street-style flavor with just a hint of tangy brightness. They’re quick, flavorful, and incredibly easy to enjoy.
No cooking required — just drain, rinse, mix, and eat.
Quick Prep
- Drain the water from the noodle packet and rinse the noodles under cold water for 5 seconds
- Add the sauce to the drained noodles, mix well, and enjoy
- Optional: Top with julienned carrots and cucumbers for a refreshing noodle salad
Rayu Chili Oil
This is the kind of pantry staple that instantly upgrades a meal.
This house-made rayu chili oil is infused with fresh and ground chilis plus ground sansho peppercorns — a Japanese cousin of Sichuan peppercorn — creating a layered, complex heat that brings flavor first, then warmth.
It has a medium heat level, making it versatile enough for everyday use while still adding a real kick. Drizzle it over dumplings, noodles, rice bowls, eggs, or use it in sauces for dishes like mapo tofu.
Rich, aromatic, and deeply flavorful, this is one of those ingredients you’ll keep reaching for.
Organic Umesu (Ume Plum Vinegar)
Tangy, salty, and deeply unique, Organic Umesu is one of the most intriguing ingredients in this month’s box.
Umesu is a byproduct of making umeboshi (salt-cured ume plums), a traditional Japanese food enjoyed for centuries. The result is a golden liquid with concentrated plum extract flavor — bright, salty, and packed with umami.
Fukami’s Organic Umesu is made with only two ingredients:
- Organic Nanko ume plums grown by the Fukami family (a fourth-generation farm in Wakayama Prefecture)
- Sea salt
No water is added during the process, and the liquid is obtained after a long filtration period, which helps concentrate both flavor and naturally occurring nutritional compounds.
It’s a fantastic ingredient for dressings, marinades, vegetable dishes, rice bowls, and anywhere you want a pop of acidity and savory depth.
We Love You – Medium-Spicy Korean Bulgogi BBQ Sauce & Marinade

Made in the USA in small batches with all-natural, vegan ingredients, this sauce checks all the boxes for flavor and quality.
