Andrea Nguyen is a James Beard Award–winning cookbook author, culinary superstar, teacher and longtime friend. She worked with us to curate this collection of her favorite Vietnamese spices.

The 6-spice collection includes:

Purple Stripe Garlic (3.0 oz glass jar) "I never thought I’d advocate for garlic powder until I met this one, and I’m not saying that simply because we are both VietnameseIt provides pungent depth."
Smoked Star Anise (0.5 oz glass jar) "This star anise lends a deep pungent note that faintly echoes smoked cardamom, and it's incredibly beautiful too."
Buffalo Ginger (1.8 oz glass jar) "The best ground ginger available. Its sweet heat is incomparable."
Five Spice (1.8 oz glass jar) "Sweet, savory and not medicinal like many similar blends, this plays well with other ingredients to create synergy."
Drumstick Lemongrass (1.8 oz glass jar) "Handy for casual marinades for pork and chicken -- when I don't want to chop up fresh. Add it to a Madras-style curry powder blend for seasoning popcorn."
Robusta Black Peppercorns (2.2 oz glass jar) "This is a robust pepper but it’s not hit-you-over-the-head hot. It’s complex and nuanced. It’s been my house peppercorn for years."
