Frequently Asked Questions

Can garlic be used in Thai cooking

Thai cuisine includes garlic. Garlic is often added to dishes such as salads, soups, stir-fries, curries, sauces, and rice.

Thai garlic is chopped and fried together with ginger, shallots and other spices. In addition, it is commonly eaten with sticky rice.

It is common to mince garlic and then mix it with chili paste, salt, fish sauce and lime juice. This mixture is called Nam Phrik (namphrik). Nam Phrik is often served alongside grilled chicken, beef, or pork.


Almond Meal vs. Almond Flour: What's the Difference?

A almond meal is a versatile almond flour alternative that can be used to bake, cook, or even make nut-free dishes.

Almond flour may also contain gluten, making it difficult to digest. It's important to avoid gluten-free diets if your condition is celiac.

Almond flour isn’t considered a superfood per se but it does contain healthy fats, fibre and protein and no cholesterol.

The almond meal offers many nutritional benefits including iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese (thiamin), calcium, vitamin A, B1 and Vitamin C.

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

Almond flour is also high in antioxidants, such as phenolics, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins. These compounds protect against oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

A study published by the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry revealed that almond flour had an antioxidant activity equal to that of blueberries.

Almond flour is commonly sold together with almondmilk, which has additional nutrients.

Galangal (lemongrass), coriander, turmeric and cinnamon are the best Thai spice. Other good spices include clove, cardamom and black peppercorn as well as cloves, star anise and cloves.

How To

How to store cooking spices?

I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, we must understand how food is stored.

Because spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is caused by oxidation, which happens when oxygen and organic compounds combine like spices.

To avoid oxidation, spice should be kept in dark cupboards. Spices will lose their flavour quickly if the conditions aren’t met.

The best way to preserve the flavour of spices is to keep them in airtight jars away from direct sunlight.

To make flavoured drinks, you can add herbs or spices to water. Mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup warm water. Stir well. Add a squeeze or lemon juice to the mixture and serve immediately.

You can add dried herbs and spices to soups, stews, casseroles, pasta, rice dishes, salads, and desserts. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on the dish, and let it sit for five to ten minutes before you serve.

As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.

Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. You can freeze herbs or spices by placing them on ice cube tray or muffin cups. Transfer frozen items to zip-top or freezer bags.
