Frequently Asked Questions
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, citrusy flavour that gives dishes a freshness and zing. Other spices such as lemongrass, galangal, garlic and coriander are also frequently added to enhance the flavour of Thai dishes.
Mint can be used as a sweet or savoury herb. To achieve authentic Thai flavours, it is important to use the right spices, herbs and aromatics.
Next time you make Thai food, add some lime-leafmint for more flavor!

What are the principal Flavours in Thai Cuisine?
Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. There are five main types of Thai cuisine: Northern, Central, Southern and Eastern. Each region has its distinctive flavour profile.
The most common flavours in Thai food are sweet, salty, sour, spicy, bitter, pungent, and nutty.
Sweetness is essential for Thais because it makes the dishes palatable. Thai cuisine is rich in sweet ingredients like coconut milk and palm sugar (gula melanka).
Sourness is also very popular in Thailand. Sour foods are often served alongside hot dishes. This helps to balance the heat.
Thai food also includes spicy food. Thai cuisine is rich in spices like galangal, ginger root and chilli pepper.
Can you add spice into a drink
I love spices adding flavour to food. But how can you make them live when they're used in drinks.
Spices are wonderful because they can add depth and flavor to any beverage. You can add a little cinnamon or nutmeg to any glass of wine, beer or coffee.
Most recipes call for ground spices. This means that you'll need fresh whole spice. This is sensible, but it can be expensive, time-consuming, and requires storage space.
Here is where the magic happens. You can transform your favourite spices into an easy-to-use powdered form with ingenuity. You can then mix the spices into your favorite beverages to make delicious spiced drinks.
These powders can be made in two ways. A second method is to grind whole spices into fine powder. Another method is to use a mortar & pestle to grind the spices until they are finely ground.
No matter which method you use, the powder will be much easier to measure and store than whole spices. Plus, the powder keeps well so that you won't run out of stock.
Mixing spices can be fun to create new flavors. For example, you could combine peppermint and spearmint leaves to make minty water. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.
Once you have mastered the art of making powdered spices you can use that same technique for herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.
The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms?
The shiitakes seem to be doing well. They are fine. They are fine. But how can we make them cut without hurting ourselves? We tried everything. Even scissors. They keep falling out of our hands. What's going on here?
You have a trick. Place a rubber band on the stem of the mushroom and twist it tight. This will ensure that you don't fall and break your wrists.
You may think it sounds too easy. Well, it is. It's also extremely effective.
Because the rubber band makes the stem slippery it is easy to pick it up. You can also hold the stem tight.
You can now try it. You'll be amazed at how much easier it is to cut mushrooms now.
