Does anyone know where I can get a supply of red yeast rice mail order? I scored a couple bags in a Chinese grocery store in Boston, but I live in NH. and ir is not easy to get down there.

Hello everyone, I know you can find the materials (raw) or ready made in East Broadway, NY (Chinatown). They have the largest concentration of Fuchownese cuisine and materials. In Boston Chinatown, I dont think you can find these. Cheers!
