Green coffee beans in SEA?

Seattle Coffee Works has a great selection of green coffee beans (two different types of Ethiopian beans last I checked).

Where to buy dao jiao? (SEA)

I got that sometimes, especially if the noodles have been chilling in the refrigerator for a while. I try to let them sit out at room temperature for a while...then separate them and use a little oil. Uwajimaya is sometimes out of the fresh noodles...but Viet Wah usually has some good ones...and they seem to be fresher too...

I think that's where I found it (at Uwajimaya). I took a closer look at the label at home and it's actually called "Yellow Bean Sauce." The company I believe is "Kwong Hung Seng Sauce" and has a dragonfly on the front. The bottle itself is about the size of a wine bottle.

Hi,
I did find this ingredient at Uwajimaya. The brand I bought came in tall glass bottle and the paste itself is yellowish in color, with some whole soybeans visible. I absolutely love that cookbook, and used the past in the "Greens and Gravy" recipe, which is now comfort food at our house. Good luck!

Anything in Neah Bay or within an hour's drive?

Good luck. The food option I found around Neah Bay was a stand in the grocery store parking lot that sold pies and something called "Indian Fry Bread." The pies were good. The fry bread experience was gastro-intestinal misery.

I've heard marvellous things about the smoked salmon in Neah Bay, but the timing of my visits never worked out.

Let us know what you find!
