Does Thai use ginger?
The answer is yes. In traditional Thai cuisine, ginger is used extensively. Ginger is often used in stir-fries and soups, as well as desserts and drinks, such as lassis.
Ginger is an indigenous plant of China, Japan and Korea. Its roots date back more that 5,000 years. It is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, where it was cultivated for medicinal purposes.
Ginger is known for stimulating digestion and relieving nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger also helps to relieve muscle spasms, reduce joint pain, and treat arthritis.
Ginger is often eaten fresh in Thailand. The ginger root is cut into thin strips, dried and stored in a sealed container for future use. You can buy ginger root in jars or cans from Asian markets.
What is the difference between curry and curried?
There is no difference in spelling. Both words refer the same thing: Indian food that uses meats and vegetables along with different seasonings.
Curry is derived from the Hindi word kari, which means "to rub". This refers to the way the spice mixture is applied to the food. Curried foods are typically cooked until browned.
Although curried dishes used to be reserved for special occasions, today they are enjoyed all over India. You can choose from chicken, beef, lamb or fish as well as vegetables and rice.
Curried dishes are typically served alongside plain white rice. You can also add raita (a yogurt sauce), or chutney (a sweet relish).
How to Store Spices
They should be kept out of direct sunlight and heat in an airtight container.
You can store them for long periods in a dark cupboard. This will ensure that they stay fresh and prevent any possible oxidation.
Store your spices in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. The spice may lose flavour and aroma if placed near a window or heater.
Spices need to be kept in an airtight glass container or tin. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.
Always check the seal after opening and resealing, as humidity can cause spoilage.
Don't throw out any spice leftovers. You can make use of them by adding them to your favorite dishes. They can be frozen to prolong their shelf-life.

How To
How to store cooking spice?
I will tell you how to store cooking spices for optimal performance. First, let's understand how foods are stored.
Because light can diminish the flavour of spices, they should be kept in sealed containers. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.
To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept in dark cupboards. These conditions can cause spices to quickly lose their flavor.
Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.
You can flavor water by adding herbs and spices. For example, mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm water and stir well. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.
You can add dried herbs and spices to soups, stews, casseroles, pasta, rice dishes, salads, and desserts. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.
As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.
To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. It is also possible to freeze herbs and spices in muffin cups or ice cube trays. Once frozen, place them in freezer bags or zip-top bags.
