Frequently Asked Questions
What is Thai spice used for?
We've all heard the term "Thai spice" thrown around without knowing exactly what it means. But once we start to feel the heat in our mouths, we wonder why it hasn't been eaten more.
It's much more than a spice. It's an ingredient that can add flavor and depth in dishes that otherwise would be bland.
Many recipes call for Thai spice, but only a few have the actual thing. Let's talk about how to make sure you add these amazing flavors to your meals.
Thais have been using herbs and spices in their cooking since antiquity to add flavor to food. Thai, which means "to make", comes from the Sanskrit word.
Many Thais love spicy foods, even today. This preference is often explained by the hot climate in Thailand that makes it difficult to stay warm while drinking hot drinks. Thais also consume more chili peppers per capita than Americans and Europeans.
The best way to learn about Thai spices is to visit a local Asian grocery store. There will be a large selection of ingredients available including dried chilies (fresh basil leaves), curry paste, ground black pepper, and curry paste.
Whole peppercorns, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise may also be found.
Thai cuisine uses both dry and wet spices. Dry spices are usually ground, while wet ones are crushed or pounded finely.
Dry spices are often added to a dish directly. A good example is chicken soup with ground red pepper. A paste is made by combining wet spices and oil with butter or butter.
Wet spices can be used in sauces, dressings, and marinades. Common wet spices include oyster sauce, fish sauce and sesame oils, curry paste, hoisin sauce, and sesame seed oil.
If you want to try making Thai dishes at home, you need to know which spices go well with certain ingredients.
For example, red pepper flakes is recommended for beef. If you're using seafood like shrimp, white pepper should be used.
You can also order online if your Asian market is not available. There are many options for exotic herbs, spices and dried chilies.
This Thai recipe will give you a kick next time your stomach gets rumbling.
What are the spices, condiments and seasonings Thailand uses in its dishes?
Thai cuisine is a combination of influences from all over Asia. Its roots are found in India and China, as well as Southeast Asia.
Freshness, the essential ingredient of Thai cuisine, is key. Fresh ingredients have more flavor when they are picked and prepared quickly. This is why meats and fish, as well as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and grains, are often eaten raw and served warm.
The addition of spices and sauces can add depth and aroma to dishes. Fresh basil, cilantro, mint, coriander (cilantro), lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, garlic, chillies, chilli paste, soy sauce, tamarind juice, oyster sauce, palm sugar, coconut milk, lime leaves, galangal root, curry powder, shrimp paste, fish sauce, tamarind water, rice vinegar, etc. are used frequently.
What kind of mint are used in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine uses the most popular type of mint, the lime-leaf (Mentha cevina).
It has a mild, lemony flavour that adds freshness and zing to dishes. Thai dishes are enhanced with other spices, such as galangal and coriander.
Mint is a versatile herb that can be used in both sweet as well as savoury meals. To achieve authentic Thai flavours, it is important to use the right spices, herbs and aromatics.
next time you make a Thai dish, don't forget to include some lime-leaf mint for extra flavour!
Happy cooking!

How To
How can I store my cooking spices?
Here's how to store your cooking spices for maximum performance. First, we must understand how food is stored.
Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. This is caused by oxidation, which happens when oxygen and organic compounds combine like spices.
To prevent oxidation of spices, keep them in dark cupboards. If these conditions are not met, spices will quickly lose their flavour.
Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.
You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. 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.
Add dried herbs and spices to soups. Spread the spice mixture evenly onto the dish. Allow it to sit for between 5-10 minutes before serving.
Remaining cooked vegetables, fruit and meats can be used in your favorite recipes to make snacks.
To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. Also, you can freeze herbs and spice by placing them into ice cube dishes or muffin cups. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags and zip-top plastic bag.
