    I'm a big fan of having everything and anything I can possible need, especially since I do a lot of different types of food and love experiencing with the meals I make.

    Primarily I love having a bit of sesame seeds (different colors), herbs de provence (homemade), spicy oregano, hungarian paprika, homemade curry powder blend (japanese, thai, and indian blends), a few secret recipe garlic blends for wings and ribs, a bbq rub for sweet/savory and a spicy bbq rub, coriander, and of course, homemade vanilla extract from bourbon, moonshine, and rum.

    For my easy Korean Style rub (again style because rather than traditional marinades I made it into a rub)

    1-2 Tablespoon of garlic powder
    1-2 Tablespoons of light soy sauce (depends on how much you are doing)
    3-4 Stalks of green onions finely chopped (and I mean very finely chopped- food processor would be good too-and if i can I try to squeeze out any liquid)
    1 Tablespoon of brown sugar
    2 Tablespoon of Korean hot fine pepper (I like it hot)
    1 Tablespoon of onion powder (I use the powder to keep the rub from becoming a marinade)
    2 teaspoons of sesame oil
    2 dashes of ginger powder (again powder to keep it from get too wet)
    2 teaspoons of rice wine vinegar
    Mixed together and rub on. After the roast or whatever you have finished cooking I like to lightly sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds for both the look and a little more punch of flavor.

    cool, thanks!

    You had me at "Korean style rubs."

    Comments like this make me sad. I should not have to explain to my daughter that there will be people in the world that have certain sexual/behavioral expectations of her simply because she's Asian/Korean.

    Why do you read innuendo in that post? Korean chicken is pretty popular though I must admit that I haven't tried it myself.

    No kidding. I was talking about food. I sincerely hope this has a happy ending.

    Tajin powder is my new best bud.

    Wow I need some of that. Wonder if I can get it in Australia. I have an amazing spice draw but then I use to cook for a living and have to try everything.
    Order it online, it is so worth it! Do you guys have Lucas candy out there?

    I found a nice rub online over at one of my favorite grilling/meat webites www.amazingribs.com (http://amazingribs.com/recipes/rubs_pastes_marinades_and_brines/meatheads_memphis_dust.html) I've used it on ribs, porkchops, chicken, etc etc.

    Oh and since I live quite a distance from a fully stocked Asian Grocer, my favorite spot to pick up spices and sauces:

    I love Trader Joes' "21 Seasoning Salute"- it has 21 different herbs/spices but no salt, so it's very flavorful and quick to use. I really like McCormick's Hamburger Seasoning too- it flavors ground turkey really well and makes it taste a little "meatier."

    Other staples- garlic garlic garlic!!!!! And cayenne pepper.

    Mace - smoked paprika - granulated garlic (much better flavour than garlic powder) for the spice rack.

    For the cupboard, tins of chipotle - I use it in all kinds of things - try chipotle mayo on a BLT - but freeze the rest of the can in ice cube trays to make it keep.

    For the seedy sorts out there, I have Popcorn Topping in the recipe dB - it is based on a nutritional yeast called Red Star that is amazingly delicious and includes various seeds plus that granulated garlic and a bit of cayenne. Great on popcorn (with a bit of butter to make it stick), potatoes, and just by itself sometimes.

    I can't wait to try the popcorn recipe. I have been trying various blends, but have been unsatisfied with the results so far. I don't know if my palate feels that it's missing salt or fat due to taste memory because I just can't find the "perfect" mix.
