I am not sure where you are located. Over here in Malaysia, we get them quite easily. Perhaps you might want to check out the chinese stores near you. Kathy : Hi! I am not sure where you are located.

Lily buds are edible buds of the lily. It is commonly sold in dried form and is yellow in colour. Sometimes they are referred to as "tiger lily buds" or "golden needles" (gum jum). Being flower buds, they have a certain aroma associated with flowers but the dried version is less strong in aroma as compared to the fresh green coloured lily buds. They are quite cheap - or at least where I can get them here. I can't really offer you a substitute because in this dish, they are pretty much an important ingredient. If you are unable to find them and interested to get some, do let me know. Jeeze : Hi! Lily buds are edible buds of the lily. It is commonly sold in dried form and is yellow in colour.

In fact, it's the most common type of cooking oil sold. I find them having a higher tolerance to high heat as compared to say, peanut oil. Peanut oil gets smoky easily. The palm oil that I use is actually blended with other types of oil but its main component is still palm oil. Olive oil is not suitable for chinese cooking due to the strong flavour. Nowadays, sunflower seed oil is getting more popular due to its touted health benefits. You might want to do a search on the internet for comparative studies between the different type of cooking oil. As for brand, I usually use between Eagle, Neptune and Knife brands :D JK : Being born and bred in Malaysia, we use palm oil a lot because it’s our national product.
