Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main spices, condiments, seasonings and herbs used in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine is a blend of influences from Asia. Its roots are in India and China as well as Southeast Asia.
Freshness is the most important ingredient in Thai food. It is easier to get the best flavour from ingredients if they are picked earlier and cooked quickly. This is why meats, fish, vegetables and fruits are often eaten raw and hot.
Sauces and spices add depth and flavor 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. These are often used.
What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?
There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. The quality is the same.
However, the price differences are significant. Because of the labor involved in making whole spices, they cost more. But the flavour is worth it.
You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. An example: If you buy an entire bag full of cinnamon sticks, you might get a discount.
This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.
Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.
However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.
For instance, you can make a delicious curry with whole turmeric instead of ground turmeric. You can also grind whole coriander leaves to make a spice mix for chicken dishes.
Grinding spices takes time. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. You won't run low on spices if you buy large quantities.
Can Thai food contain cumin?
One of the most popular spices used in Thai cuisine is cumin. In Thai cuisine, cumin is often mixed with garlic, ginger or coriander to create different flavours.
Stir-fries (curries), soups, salads and soups are some of the many uses for cumin that Thai cooks use. Cumin can also be added to sauces, marinades and dressings. Although cumin is the main ingredient in Thai food, there are other spices that can be used.
Unique flavours are added by fish sauce, garlic cloves, ginger, and chilli peppers. These spices can be combined in different ways to create authentic Thai dishes.
Cumin is a key ingredient in Thai cuisine and can be found in many of the traditional Thai dishes. The complex flavours of cumin add a special flavor to Thai cuisine. Cumin's distinctive spices are a key ingredient in Thai cuisine.
The unique flavors of Thai cuisine can be captured by chefs adding spices like cumin to their meals. So the answer to the question is yes - cumin is a critical component in many traditional Thai dishes.
Which Spices and Herbs are Best Served with Potatoes?
A potato is a great side dish for almost any meat. There are many ways to cook potatoes, other than just mashed.
These versatile vegetables are delicious additions to any meal, from salads to casseroles to soups to pasta dishes. Many spices and herbs are good with potatoes, did you know?
These delicious recipes can spice up your next potato recipe.
What Thai spice will I need to make Thai food home?
In order to cook authentic Thai food at home you will need five spices: black pepper (cayenne), coriander seeds (coriander seeds), turmeric and cinnamon. Each ingredient is unique and plays an integral role in the creation of delicious dishes.
Cinnamon adds sweetness, while black pepper brings out savoury flavours. Curry powder gets its yellow hue from turmeric and coriander seeds. Cayenne peppers provide heat and cilantro provides freshness. Cinnamon adds complexity and depth to any dish.
Each of these spices is available in your local grocery. If you'd rather buy them online, the following are our recommendations.
Is garlic used in Thai cooking?
Thai cuisine makes use of garlic. Garlic is used often in Thai cuisine, such as soups, stir fries, curries, sauces, and salads.
In Thailand, garlic can be chopped and fried along with ginger and shallots. Also, you can eat it with sticky white rice.
Garlic is best chopped finely and mixed with oil, chilli paste, fish sauce, lime juice and oil. This mixture is called Nam Phrik (namphrik). Nam phrik often comes with grilled chicken breast or beef.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms?
The shiitakes grow well. You can't go wrong with them. How do we cut them? We have tried every method, including using scissors. But they keep falling out our hands. What is the deal?
It's possible to do this by using a trick. Use a rubber band to secure the stem of your mushroom. You won't slip, and you won't be cut.
This may seem too simple. It is. But it's also very powerful.
The rubber band makes the stem slippery, so it feels natural when you pick it up. It's a good idea to secure the stem.
Do it! You'll be amazed at how much easier it is to cut mushrooms now.
