Thai Spice Seasoning Blend Recipes

THAI SPICE SEASONING BLEND RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients into a small bowl. Stir to combine spices. If you have any small clumps, break them apart by mashing them with the back of a spoon.
• Place in an airtight spice jar and label.

• In a blender or spice grinder combine all ingredients. Blend to a fine powder. Transfer to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place up to 6 months.

HOMEMADE THAI SEASONING

Steps:

• Combine well and store in an airtight container. Note: I use 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne because I have small children who freak out over spicy food. Use more if you'd like it spicier!

THAI COCONUT-SPICE BLEND

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake the coconut on a rimmed baking sheet, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, put the lime zest on a paper towel-lined microwave-safe plate and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring with a fork in between, until the zest is dry and almost brittle, 2 to 4 minutes total. (The timing will largely depend on the power of your microwave.)
• Add the cooled coconut, dried lime zest, chili flakes, coriander, garlic, and salt to a spice grinder and grind to the texture of very coarse cornmeal. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

HOMEMADE THAI SEASONING BLEND

Steps:
