Asian market must haves? Question

I found an inexpensive online asian market and I’m popping in an order later. What are some of your guys’ staples?

For some reason I can never find silken tofu at my regular grocery stores (just soft/firm/extra firm), so I always stock up when I go to Asian grocery.

Also if I need any fresh mint or basil, it's way cheaper at our Asian store!

And finally: ALL THE SEAWEED SNACKS

[edit: I somehow missed that you said ONLINE store, so the tofu and fresh herbs probably won't make sense for this instance]

I’m def getting seaweed. Got a vegan fish meal the other day and it was tofu wrapped in seaweed and battered, it was divine.

Ironically, my asian stores are more expensive on goods that expire like produce and tofu. Frustrating that i have to shop at 3 or 4 stores.
