Base ingredients for asian food?

[neviditelny]

I'm planning to do an online order for some food and am thinking about giving it a go to try some asian meals. What would you say would be good base for a lot of them? To my knowledge coconutmilk/creamed coconut is quite widely used? I'm thinking in a way where I got things in the cupboard and would just have to get fresh veg/meat on the day of cooking.

Sorry for no further input here until now. The reason why I didn't specify more exactly what asian foods would be because I do try to cook a bit of everything. The main reason why I wanted a variety of stuff to keep in the cupboard is that I don't drive so would either have to order online or take the bus to the shops. Hence I thought I would buy things like coconut oil, spices etc to have at home and only pick up the fresh produce for the meals (I stock buy meat from the butchers though so it would mainly be vegetables to be picked up).

@Doctor McNinja I'm going to get some rice from an asian shop in town on Wednesday. Will ask for some advice in there as well about what more to get.
