Thai Spice Blend
5 minutes l Makes^1 / 2 cup
Thai spice blends often combine
multiple exotic ingredients such
as lemongrass, galangal, and ka� ir
lime leaves. We combined dried
lemongrass (easy-to-find dried lemon
peel works, too) with common spices
such as ginger (a cousin of galangal)
to achieve that distinct Thai flavor.

2 Tbsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. ground ginger
1 Tbsp. paprika
1 Tbsp. dried basil
2 tsp. dried lemon zest
2 tsp. dried lemongrass or
lemon zest
½ tsp. ground coriander
⅛ tsp. cayenne pepper
⅛ tsp. ground white or black

fine powder. Transfer to an airtight
container and store in a cool, dry
place up to 6 months.
