FAQs

How To Store The Chicken Thighs

Let the chicken thighs cool completely. You can wrap each piece of chicken individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap or just put them all in an airtight container. You can then store the chicken thighs for 3 or 4 days in the fridge or 4 months in the freezer. When reheating the chicken ensure the inner temperature hits that 165 F mark.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Thai cuisine made with garlic?

Thai cuisine makes use of garlic. Garlic is commonly added to salads.

Thai garlic is fried in a mixture of shallots and ginger. You can also eat it with sticky rice.

Chilli paste, salt and lime juice are the most popular ways to eat garlic. This is "Nam Phrik" or "namphrik". Nam phrik is often served with grilled chicken or beef.

Can you spice up a drink?

I love how spices bring flavour to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?

Spices are excellent because they add incredible depth to any beverage. A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg can make any beverage more delicious, including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and cocktails.

Most recipes require ground spices. You will need to use fresh whole spices. This is sensible, but it can be expensive, time-consuming, and requires storage space.

Here's where the magic happens. With your creativity, you can turn your favorite spices into easy-to-use powdered products. To make tasty spiced drinks, you can combine them with your favourite beverages.

There are two possible ways to create these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices into fine powder. Another way is to grind the spices in a mortar and pestle.

Whichever method you choose, you'll find that the resulting powder is much easier to measure out and store than whole spices. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.

You can even experiment with mixing different spices to create new flavours. Peppermint and spearmint can be combined to make minty water. To make spicy ginger tea, you can also combine ginger and cardamom pods.

Once you have mastered the art of making powdered spices you can use that same technique for herbs. Basil, rosemary, thyme and sage are some of the most popular herbs.

The possibilities are endless. Powdered spices can enhance the flavor and texture of beverages, such as soups or salads, as well as the taste of pasta.

What kind of mint is used to make Thai food?

Thai cuisine's most used type is lime-leaf, or Mentha cervina.

It is mild and lemony in flavour, which adds freshness as well as zing to dishes. Thai dishes often include other spices such as galangal (lemongrass), garlic, and coriander.

Mint is a versatile herb and can be used in both sweet and savoury recipes. You can create authentic Thai flavours by choosing the right herbs, spices, and aromatics.

If you're making Thai dishes, be sure to include lime-leaf fresh mint!

Happy cooking!

How To

How to choose the right spices?

You need to be able to select the right herbs and spices to use in your cooking. There are hundreds of choices, so where can you start when choosing which spices to add to your kitchen?

Three factors are important to consider when choosing spices. They are the taste profile, shelf live, and price. Flavour profiles differ depending on whether you're cooking meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, beans, grains, pasta, eggs, dessert, bread, etc. So once you've decided on a category, you'll need to narrow down your choices based on these differences.

The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices can last forever while others go bad quickly. Cayenne pepper can last for many years, while oregano only loses its potency in two months. There's also the cost. Spices are available in a range of prices, from $1 per tablespoon to more expensive than $100 per an ounce. This means that you will need to strike a balance between quality and value.

Also, consider whether organic or not organic ingredients. Organic products have fewer pesticides and chemicals that conventional products, which is better for your health as well as the environment. You'll have to balance the benefits and costs of organic products.

Online shopping is the best option to find the right spices. Online retailers provide comprehensive information on every product, including pricing, reviews and ratings.

Once you've narrowed your list, you can order directly from the retailer. After you have received your items, keep them safe in an airtight container away from heat or light.
