All Purpose Lemongrass Blend: Take the complexity out of cooking with my Lemongrass Spice blends. This blend takes out the painful tasks of measuring and stocking a pantry with spices. Instead, I’ve done the work for you. Just add fish sauce to the spice blend. And marinade your chicken breast/wings/thigh/drums for 10-15 minutes. And then you can bake, broil, pan fry or grill.

Multi-Purpose Phở Seasoning: The greatness of Phở have dominated the conversations (and debates) of my family’s kitchens. Stories of secret recipes taught word of mouth, backed by generations-old wisdom. However, the answer isn’t obvious. Some of my family members argue it’s in the meat; others argue it’s in the noodles. But the one thing we can all agree on is selecting the correct blends; in congruence with the quality of the spices. In this Phở spice blend, I’ve carefully handcrafted this blend to ensure that it matches my memory of taste of my family’s Phở. And I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
