True Asian cooking requires bamboo steamers.
You can go into any grocery store and find Asian cuisine. Most large food chains carry Asian delicacies, but they are usually located in the frozen food section, as meals that have been previously prepared by a large company and packaged for resale. While many people enjoy the convenience that these meals have to offer, fans of true Asian cooking know that they are not comparable to an Asian home cooked meal. True Asian cooking requires the use of bamboo steamers. If you like Asian food, you should definitely try a dish that has been freshly prepared using a bamboo steamer. Once you do, you won't buy pre-packaged, frozen meals from a grocery store ever again.
