Alpha Gal Friendly Thai Basil-Inspired Spice Blend
Bright, citrusy, and layered with heat, this spice blend captures the bold soul of Thai cooking in a single jar you can reach for any night of the week. Lemongrass and lime zest powder bring that signature floral tang, while ground ginger, coriander, and a touch of turmeric add warmth and depth. Red chili flakes and white pepper give it a gentle, building heat that keeps things interesting without overwhelming. For anyone navigating a mammalian meat allergy, store-bought seasoning blends and spice packets can be a minefield — hidden additives, natural flavors, and mystery fillers make label-reading exhausting. This blend puts you fully in control, using straightforward plant-based spices with no surprises tucked inside. The optional ground galangal is worth tracking down if you can find it, adding an earthy, almost piney note that rounds everything out beautifully. Mix up a batch, seal it in a jar, and you'll have a reliable, safe flavor booster ready to go for months.
