The Asian Kitchen Gift Set

• Eight essential Asian cooking ingredients spanning Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisine
• Includes Lao Gan Ma chilli oil, gochujang, miso paste, oyster sauce, and knife cut noodles
• Arrives in a reusable Morueats canvas tote bag — no extra wrapping needed
• A brilliant gift for Asian food lovers, adventurous home cooks, and anyone ready to cook across Asia
• One set, three cuisines — the Asian kitchen sorted in one go

Most kitchens have soy sauce. Fewer have gochujang. Almost none have miso, Lao Gan Ma, and oyster sauce sitting next to each other ready to use. This set fixes that. Eight ingredients that between them cover the foundations of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese home cooking — the pastes, oils, and sauces that make everything taste like it came from a restaurant rather than a packet.

Inside you'll find Lao Gan Ma crispy chilli oil, gochujang, miso paste, oyster sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, dried shiitake mushrooms, and knife cut noodles. Different cuisines, different flavour profiles, one coherent pantry. The kind of set that changes how someone cooks — not just what they cook tonight.

It arrives in a Morueats canvas tote, ready to hand over. The kind of gift that goes straight into the kitchen and stays there.

Makes a great gift for

The home cook who loves Asian food but has only scratched the surface. The person who owns three cookbooks on Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cooking and finally needs the ingredients to match. The friend who describes themselves as "quite into food" and means it. Or yourself — because a kitchen stocked like this opens up more weeknight dinners than anything else you could buy for the same money.

What's inside

Lao Gan Ma Crispy Chilli in Oil 210g
The most famous chilli oil in the world, and for good reason. Crispy, savoury, and deeply aromatic — spoon it over noodles, rice, eggs, or anything that needs a lift. Once you have a jar, you'll put it on everything.

Sajo Haepyo Korean Gochujang Red Pepper Paste 170g
The spicy, slightly sweet fermented red pepper paste that goes into bibimbap, tteokbokki, stews, and marinades. One of the non-negotiables in a Korean pantry.

Shih Chuan Original Finely Ground Miso Paste 300g
Deeply savoury, quietly complex, and endlessly versatile. The backbone of miso soup, but equally at home in marinades, dressings, and glazes. A Japanese pantry staple that earns its place in any kitchen.

Lee Kum Kee Panda Oyster Sauce 255g
Rich, slightly sweet, and deeply savoury. The sauce behind most Chinese stir-fries, braises, and noodle dishes. Lee Kum Kee is the benchmark — this is the one Chinese home cooks reach for.

Yamasa Dark Soy Sauce in Table Dispenser 150ml
A clean, well-balanced soy sauce in a table dispenser — good for seasoning, dipping, and finishing. Works across Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cooking without missing a beat.

Chien Kuo Sesame Oil 100ml
Cold-pressed and nutty, with the kind of toasted aroma that makes a finished dish smell like it came from a restaurant. A few drops at the end of anything — noodles, fried rice, jjigae — and everything comes together.

Yutaka Dried Winter Shiitake Mushrooms 30g
Intense, smoky, and deeply umami. Rehydrate and use in broths, stir-fries, and rice dishes — the soaking liquid is just as useful as the mushrooms themselves. The ingredient that makes a good broth great.

Knife Cut Noodles 400g
Thick, chewy, and satisfying — knife cut noodles have an irregular texture that holds sauce better than most. The base for a proper bowl of stir-fried noodles or a simple broth.

Morueats Canvas Tote Bag
A heavyweight, reusable canvas bag with the Morueats logo. Dimensions: 380mm × 420mm × 100mm. Makes the whole set feel gift-ready from the moment it arrives.

What can you cook with this set?

Eight ingredients, three cuisines, more weeknight dinners than you can count. With what's inside, you can make:

Miso soup · Gochujang bibimbap · Stir-fried knife cut noodles · Oyster sauce beef · Chilli oil noodles · Miso-glazed aubergine · Shiitake broth · Korean BBQ marinade · Sesame noodles · Lao Gan Ma fried rice · Gochujang dipping sauce · Oyster sauce greens

Three cuisines. One pantry. Considerably fewer takeaway orders.

Gift it or keep it

For someone else? It arrives in a canvas tote — no wrapping needed, and eight ingredients spanning three cuisines means there's a meal in here for every night of the week. For yourself? This is the Asian kitchen sorted in one go. Either way, the Lao Gan Ma is going on everything.
