HOUSE OF ASIA
See the recipeSpices
The secret to the unique flavor of Asian cuisine, fondly remembered by tourists visiting this region, lies in the spices. The extraordinary color, flavor, and aroma of oriental dishes are due to the skillful combination of salty, sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter elements. It takes practice to find the right proportions of spices, so we have ready-made blends worth using when cooking at home. For Thai dishes—curry and noodles—we recommend a blend containing coriander, hot chili pepper, and lemongrass. A combination based on ginger, paprika, and cayenne pepper is perfect for chicken, vegetables, or Japanese-style fish. The five spices characteristic of Japanese cuisine are also a must.
