You won't ever get that style at all... and even in those countries, they are also forever changing too. Cos you're talking about, moving an actual country with humidities.. and near the equator's.. into the Northern Europe... That is just not possible imho. And anyway, a lot of people don't really actually want it to be as so ? ..... (I noticed she placed a dolly noodle into that dish.) lol.... That was originally created in Taiwan.. and then also Japan has their own version too. And that itself was sold across SE Asia... as the US dollar rose.. and trade and transportation was a lot smoother. I know that the good farmers and the farms in the UK tried their very very best to produce greeneries with pak choi or chinese leaves. Which so many suppliers ended up producing. I am not too sure.. about these herbs from thailand at all. One of the thing like LKK's oyster sauces... I realised why it is missing. Cos the fermentation process in the heat and the degradation rate... literally helps the sauce gives its own tastes. Unless we actually create a proper "fermentation machine" in the UK. Which we don't have and can't do... I realised why America's LKK's oyster sauce's production is somewhat lacking ? I don't even buy it any more, despite the fact that it can exist in the likes of Tesco. And that they stock it. It reduces the tastes. And this forced the local suppliers in HK or makers to stop their production as well. Which is a shame. What should really have happened to those specific sauces, is if they produced the great oysters and shipped it into HK or somewhere hot.. and let them ferment... and then sold the larger tubs or flasks into specific country and let them distribute and to contain them etc. THAT should've been what happens instead... rather than to prepack them and sell them as individual bottles. Or basically bond the oyster sauces... like we used to do with wines.
