Bangkok
Blend
Thai cooks, like Indian and Chinese cooks, don't use many
pre-mixed spice blends, as they prefer to individually season each dish.
This blend combines the traditional spices of the Thai cook to create an
all-purpose mix for fish, chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle on heavily, 1
/2 to 1 tsp. per serving, with salt to taste. For flavorful Thai-style beef,
slice across the grain and moisten with sesame oil and rice vinegar. Add
Bangkok Blend, extra pepper, and a pinch of cumin. Nice for seasoned noodles,
toss 1 TB. Bangkok Blend, 2 TB. rice vinegar, 1 /4 Cup oil and 1 TB. peanut
butter with 3 Cups noodles. Hand-mixed from: sweet peppers, garlic, ginger,
black pepper, galangal, hot peppers, lemon grass, basil, cilantro.
