Frequently Asked Questions
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 unique flavour profile.
Thai food contains many flavors.
Thais appreciate sweetness. It makes Thai food taste better. Thai cuisine has a lot of sweet ingredients such as coconut milk and palm sugar (gula Melaka).
In Thailand, sourness is very popular. Hot dishes are often served with sour foods. This combination balances out the heat.
Thai food includes spicy food. Thai dishes often use spices such as chili pepper, galangal or ginger root.
Can you add spice to a beverage?
I love spices adding flavour to food. But how do you make spices liven up when they are added to drinks?
Spices can bring out the best of any beverage. From coffee to tea, hot chocolate to cocktails, there's nothing more satisfying than adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to a glass of wine or beer.
But, since most recipes call to ground spices, you'll need whole spices. Although this is logical, it can be costly, time-consuming, and takes up storage space.
Here's where the magic happens. With some creativity, your favourite spices can be made into powdered forms that are easy to use. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.
There are two ways to go about creating these powders. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. Another method is to use a mortar & pestle to grind the spices until they are finely ground.
It doesn't matter what method you choose, the result is easier to measure out than whole spices and easier to store. You won't run short of powder, and it keeps well.
Mixing spices can be fun to create new flavors. For example, you could combine peppermint and spearmint leaves to make minty water. For spicy ginger tea, use ginger and cardamom capsules.
Once you have mastered the art of making powdered spices you can use that same technique for herbs. Oregano and rosemary are all popular herbs.
There are so many possibilities. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.
What spices are commonly used in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine is well known for its diverse flavour profiles. These delicious flavours are made from unique and flavorful ingredients that make many delicious dishes.
Thai cooking uses many common ingredients, including galangal kaffir lime leaf, galangal kaffir lemon leaves, chillies, chillies, garlic, shrimp paste, cumin, turmeric, and many more.
Each of these spices is integral to Thai cuisine's unique flavour profile. The most common uses of lemongrass are in soups, curries, stews, and galangal; galangal is used to add a little peppery kick to dishes, kaffir lime leaves give dishes a citrusy scent, chillies are spicy; shrimp paste gives food an umami flavour; garlic provides a sharp, pungent flavor; cilantro adds a mild aroma to dishes, cumin lends a smoky taste, while turmeric gives dishes a vibrant yellow hue.
Combining these spices together creates complex flavour profiles, which are unique to Thai food. By using a combination of spices, chefs can create dishes that are both flavorful and aromatic. Stock up on these spices if you want to incorporate the Thai flavours into your cooking.

How To
How to choose the right spices?
You need to be able to select the right herbs and spices to use in your cooking. There are many choices. So where do you start?
There are three main factors to consider when choosing spices: flavour profile, shelf life, and cost. You can choose to use different flavour profiles depending on whether your cooking involves meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and pasta. Once you have decided on a category you will need to narrow your options based on the differences.
The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices are good for a lifetime, while others can be lost quickly. Cayenne pepper can last for many years, while oregano only loses its potency in two months. There's also the cost. The price of spices can vary from $1 per tablespoon to over $100 per ounce. This means that you will need to strike a balance between quality and value.
You'll also want to determine whether you prefer organic or non-organic ingredients. Organic products contain fewer chemicals and pesticides than conventional alternatives, making them better for your health and the environment. However, they often cost more, so you'll need to weigh those costs against the benefits.
Online shopping is the best way for you to make sure that you have the right spices in your kitchen. Online retailers provide detailed information on each product, including ingredient lists, pricing, reviews, and ratings.
Once you have narrowed down your choices, you can place an online order with the retailer. Once you have received your items safely store them in an airtight container, away from heat & light.
