Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most important flavours in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern, Central, Southern, Eastern, Western, and Northeastern Thai food. Each region has its unique flavour profile.
Thai food is known for its sweet, salty and sour flavors.
Thais appreciate sweetness. It makes Thai food taste better. Thai cuisine relies heavily on sweet ingredients, such as coconut milk (gula melaka), and palm sugar.
In Thailand, sourness is very popular. Hot dishes can often be paired with sour foods. This combination balances out the heat.
Thai food includes spicy food. Thai cuisine is rich in spices like galangal, ginger root and chilli pepper.
Does Thai use ginger?
The answer is yes. Traditional Thai cuisine uses ginger extensively. Ginger is often used to make stir-fries and soups. It is also used in desserts, drinks, such a lassis.
Ginger is native to China, Japan, and Korea, and its origins date back more than 5,000 years. It is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, where it was cultivated for medicinal purposes.
Ginger is known to stimulate digestion and relieve nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger aids in relieving muscle spasms and joint pains. It can also treat arthritis.
In Thailand, ginger is most often used fresh. The ginger root is then cut into thin strips. Once dried, it can be stored for future use. You can buy ginger root in jars or cans from Asian markets.
What is the difference between curry and curried?
It doesn't matter how the spelling is written. Both words refer the same thing: Indian food that uses meats and vegetables along with different seasonings.
Curry is derived in Hindi from kari, which means to rub. This refers the way that the spice mix is applied onto the food. Curried foods are typically cooked until browned.
Curried dishes were once reserved for special occasions, but today, they're enjoyed frequently throughout India. These dishes can be chicken, beef (lamb), fish, or vegetables.
Plain white rice is usually served with curried dishes. Other common accompaniments include raita (a yogurt sauce) and chutney (a sweet relish).
What are the uses of Thai spice?
Everyone has heard the term Thai spice, but not all know what it is. When we taste it, our mouths water and we wonder why we aren't eating more.
It isn't just any spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.
Although there are many recipes that call for Thai spices in large numbers, very few recipes actually use the true thing. Let's talk about how to make sure you add these amazing flavors to your meals.
Thais have used herbs and spices since ancient times to enhance food and drink. Thai, which means "to make", comes from the Sanskrit word.
Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference can often be attributed to Thailand's hot weather, which makes it hard to stay warm without hot beverages. Thais also consume more chili peppers per capita than Americans and Europeans.
Visit a local Asian grocery shop to find out more about Thai spices. There you will find a variety of ingredients such as dried chilies fresh basil leaves curry paste and ground black pepper.
You may also come across whole peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cardamom pods, ginger root, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, nutmeg, mace, mustard seed, saffron threads, garlic, onion, rice vinegar and tamarind juice.
Thai cuisine can use either dry or wet spices. Most Thai cuisine uses dry spices, which are ground and pulverized finely.
Dry spices are usually added to a dish. Ground red pepper can be sprinkled on chicken soup, for example. Wet spices are commonly mixed with oil or butter to form a paste.
Wet spices can be used in sauces, dressings, and marinades. Common wet spices include oyster sauce, fish sauce and sesame oils, curry paste, hoisin sauce, and sesame seed oil.
You need to be able to match certain spices with Thai ingredients if you wish to make Thai food at home.
Red pepper flakes can be used to season beef. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.
If you don't live near an Asian market, you can order online. You can find everything here, from dried chilies to exotic spices and herbs.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms
The shiitakes grow well. There's nothing wrong about them. However, how do you cut them without cutting yourself? We've tried everything. Even the scissors. But they keep falling out our hands. What is the deal?
You have a trick. Place a rubber band on the stem of the mushroom and twist it tight. You won't slip, and you won't be cut.
You might think that it seems too simple. It is. But it's also very powerful.
The rubber band makes stems slippery, making them feel more natural when picked up. You can also hold the stem tight.
Try it now. You'll be amazed how easy it is to cut mushrooms.
