Vung Tau Oriental Market, Sarasota

Vung Tau Oriental Market casts a wide net, providing shoppers with a pan-regional selection of Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Laotian, Thai, Filipino, Malaysian, Indian, and Japanese groceries and ingredients. Items such as pho noodles, fresh quail eggs, tea, medicinal herbs, and lemongrass stems line the shelves and display cases. Selling meats, vegetables, and seasonings isn't enough, though. The market also offers cooking classes, which teach students to use those ingredients when preparing regional Asian dishes such as Korean-style bulgogi beef or Vietnamese-style spring rolls.
