Top 20 Pantry Must Haves!!!!

So I had a friend who recently moved into her new apartment. I went over one night to hang out and ended up making some fried rice. I had to improvise some things because the pantry, or lack there of, was missing some critical things. So whether your a college student or Gordon Ramsay, these are some staple items any kitchen needs so you'll be prepared to make a great meal on the fly.

  1. Kosher salt
  2. Black pepper (a hand grinder is best)
  3. Fresh garlic
  4. Fresh ginger
  5. Red onions
  6. Herbs de Provence
  7. Extra virgin olive oil
  8. Soy Sauce
  9. Worcetershire sauce
  10. Sambal Oelek chili sauce
  11. Canned crushed tomatoes
  12. Dried pasta
  13. All purpose flour
  14. Honey
  15. Vinegar (Red wine, balsamic or rice wine)
  16. Canned broth
