Frequently Asked Questions

Thai food uses paprika?

Yes. It is an ingredient in many dishes, including Pad See Ew (Thai fried rice), from eggs cooked in coconut milk.

Paprika is found in Thai food and Mexican, Italian, Spanish, Indian, Chinese, French, Moroccan, Middle Eastern, Lebanese, Greek, Turkish, and Balkan cuisines.

Paprika can also be traced back to Ancient Greece, more than 5,000 year ago. The word "paprika" comes from the Hungarian language meaning "pepper. "

What are the main Flavours of Thai Cooking?

Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern, Central and Southern Thai food. Each region has its own unique flavour profile.

Thai food is known for its sweet, salty and sour flavors.

Thais consider sweetness essential because it makes dishes taste good. Thai cuisine relies heavily on sweet ingredients, such as coconut milk (gula melaka), and palm sugar.

Thailand is also known for its sourness. Hot dishes are often paired with sour foods. This helps to balance out the heat.

Thai food includes spicy food. Thai dishes often use spices such as chili pepper, galangal or ginger root.

Almond Flour and Almond Meal: What is the Difference?

An almond meal, which can be used as an almond flour substitute, is more versatile than other almond flours because it can be used for baking and cooking, as well as making nut free dishes.

Almond flour might also contain gluten, which can make it hard to digest. Gluten-free foods should be avoided if you have celiac Disease or any other digestive condition.

Almond flour isn't considered "superfood", but it is high in healthy fats, fibres, protein, vitamin E, and sodium.

The almond meal provides nutritional benefits such as magnesium, iron, zinc and manganese. It also contains vitamin A, B1 (thiamin), C, and folate.

Almond flour, made from almonds contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oil. Both types reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL ("good") cholesterol.

Almond flour is also rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and phenolics. These compounds protect against free radical-induced oxidative harm.

A study published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry found that almond flour had antioxidant activity equivalent to that of blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, and red wine grape juice.

Almond milk is often sold with almond flour, which has been fortified with additional nutrients.

Statistics

• Their 14 to 20 percent essential oil content means that cloves have the highest concentration of aroma compounds of any spice. (masterclass.com)
• According to a recent survey, professional chefs and many home cooks use spices; usage has only continued to grow from 2011 to now. (hospitalityinsights.ehl.edu)
• According to Healthline, pink Himalayan salt is estimated to contain up to 84 minerals and trace elements, which gives the salt its special pink color. (spicecravings.com)

How To

Are you a master of making curry paste?

Curry paste can be made with dried chillies. It's a common ingredient in Thai cuisine.

Curry paste is one the most loved condiments in Southeast Asia. This unique flavor can be added to many dishes including curries, soups and stir-fries as well as rice dishes, noodles, desserts, and rice dishes.

It's not difficult to make at home! Follow our step-by–step guide below.

Step1 - Prepare Ingredients

• Before you can start the recipe, it is important to have all the ingredients ready.
• First, peel and chop shallots (2 cups). Cut galangal root in small pieces, about 3 inches long. Set aside.
• Next, peel and slice garlic cloves (about four cloves). Finely chop the lemongrass stems to about 1/2 inch in thickness.
• After that, you will need to crush dried red chili peppers (about four tablespoons) before removing the seeds (optional).
• Cut the kaffirlime leaves into small strips, approximately 5 inches in length. Next, remove the white part from the stem and leave it alone.
• Once the shrimp paste has been drained, rinse it and then coarsely crush it.
• Finally, measure the sugar and salt.

Step2 - Grind Ingredients

• Grind all ingredients together until smooth.
• The texture should be comparable to peanut butter.
• You can replace some oil with water if you wish to reduce the oil content of your dish.

Step3 - Add Coconut Milk

• Add coconut milk to the mixture and mix well.
• Slowly add coconut milk to ensure that the paste doesn't become too sticky.
• For a milder taste, use less chillies and more galangal roots.
• If you prefer it spicy, add more chillies or less galangal roots. You should enjoy the final product.

Step4 - Serve

• Serve on top of your favourite foods.
• Enjoy!
