Frequently Asked Questions
What uses is Thai spice?
Everyone has heard the term Thai spice, but not all know what it is. When we taste it, our mouths water and we wonder why we aren't eating more.
It's much more than a spice. It's an essential ingredient, which adds depth and flavor to dishes otherwise bland.
While there are thousands of Thai-inspired recipes out there, few of them contain the real thing. Let's talk about how to make sure you add these amazing flavors to your meals.
As far back as ancient times, Thais have been cooking with herbs and spices to add flavor to food and beverages. Thai comes from the Sanskrit term for "to prepare".
Today, Thais still love spicy food. This preference is often explained by the hot climate in Thailand that makes it difficult to stay warm while drinking hot drinks. Thais consume more chili peppers than Americans and Europeans.
Visit a local Asian grocery shop to find out more about Thai spices. There you will find a variety of ingredients such as dried chilies fresh basil leaves curry paste and ground black pepper.
You may also come across whole peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cardamom pods, ginger root, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, nutmeg, mace, mustard seed, saffron threads, garlic, onion, rice vinegar and tamarind juice.
Thai cuisine offers two types of spices: dry and moist. The dry spices are usually ground while the wet spices are crushed or pounded finely.
Dry spices are usually added to a dish. You can sprinkle ground red pepper on your chicken soup. To make a paste, wet spices are often mixed with butter or oil.
Wet spices can be used in sauces, dressings, and marinades. The most popular wet spices are fish sauce (oyster sauce), sesame oil, sesame paste, curry paste, and Hoisin sauce.
Thai cuisine can be made at home by learning which spices work well with specific ingredients.
For example, red pepper flakes is recommended for beef. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.
Finally, you can always order online if you don't have access to a good quality Asian market. Here you will find everything, from dried chilies and exotic herbs to spices.

Does Thai use ginger?
Yes. Traditional Thai cuisine uses ginger extensively. Ginger is often used to make stir-fries and soups. It is also used in desserts, drinks, such a lassis.
Ginger is a native of China, Japan, Korea and other Asian countries. Its origins go back over 5,000 years. It is believed it originated in Southeast Asia. There, it was used 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 fresh in Thailand. It is then cut into thin strips and dried. Ginger root can be purchased in cans or jars at Asian markets.
What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?
There are no significant differences in the cooking of whole and ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. So there is no difference in quality.
However, this price differential is quite significant. Whole spices are more expensive because of the labor required to process them. However, the flavor is worth it.
Buy whole spices and you'll often receive additional discounts. You might get a discount if your entire bag is of cinnamon sticks.
It is the same for cardamom and cloves as well as ginger, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.
Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.
The main reason we recommend whole spices over dried is that they can add lots of flavor to recipes.
You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. You can also use whole coriander to create a spice combination for chicken dishes.
It takes time to grind spices. It makes sense to purchase large quantities of whole spices when you are buying them. So you don't run short of spices.
Thai food contains paprika.
Yes. It's an ingredient in many dishes including Pad See Ew (Thai Fried Rice), and eggs cooked in coconut milk.
Thai food is a good example of paprika.
Paprika dates back more than 5,000 years to Ancient Greece. The word "paprika" comes from the Hungarian language meaning "pepper. "
