Coconut Thai Spice Seasoning Mix Recipe
Coconut Thai Spice is a favorite of mine! On one lonely evening in Philadelphia, I found a little Thai restaurant near my hotel. Their special for the night was a White Fish in Thai Coconut Sauce. After dinner I requested the recipe from the chef and the magic for the sauce was all about the seasoning – my own version of this memory is below.
Both the seasoning mix recipe and fish recipe, below, are fantastic. If you can’t find dried lemongrass on the spice shelf, try looking for it in the tea section. Pure lemongrass tea is dried lemongrass leaves.
Ways to Use Coconut Thai Spice Seasoning Mix
- Fish – This delicious Coconut Thai Spice seasoning is fantastic with white fish (see the recipe below). Mix it with a coconut milk sauce.
- Salad – It is absolutely brilliant in my Soy-Free Thai Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe. The recipe is light, bright, and perfect for any salad.
- Marinade – Combine 2 tablespoons seasoning mix with 1/4 cup oil and marinate chicken thighs overnight. Bake until the skin is crispy. Absolutely a fresh flavored chicken dish. All the recipes are brilliantly yummo!
