Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of mint are used in Thai cuisine?
The most common type of mint used in Thai cuisine is lime-leaf mint (Mentha Cervina).
It adds freshness to dishes with its mild, lemony flavor. Thai dishes are enhanced with other spices, such as galangal and coriander.
Mint is versatile and can be used both in sweet and savoury recipes. Using the right spices, herbs, and aromatics is essential to achieving delicious authentic Thai flavours.
next time you make a Thai dish, don't forget to include some lime-leaf mint for extra flavour!
Enjoy your cooking!
Can you add spice to a beverage?
I love how spices bring flavour to food. How can you make spices come to life when they are used in drinks?
Spices can bring out the best of any beverage. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to your favorite beverage, such as coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.
However, most recipes call for ground spice so you will need fresh whole spices. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.
This is where the magic happens. It's possible to transform your favorite spices into a powdered form that is easy to use with a bit of creativity. You can then mix the spices into your favorite beverages to make delicious spiced drinks.
There are two methods to make these powders. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. One method involves using a mortar-and-pestle to grind spices into a finer consistency.
You'll find it easier to make powder than whole spices, regardless of the method. Powder also keeps well so you won't run dry.
You can even experiment with mixing different spices to create new flavours. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. 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.
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.
What is Thai cooking's most famous ingredient?
Thailand has two main ingredients that make up the heart and soul of all dishes: rice, curry, and steamed vegetables. These two ingredients combine to produce a unique flavor.
The combination is called "Khao Pad Krai" in Thailand. This means that when two simple foods are combined, they can become irresistible and delicious.
The same is true of your personal life. You can achieve great success if you combine the right two ingredients - hard work and perseverance.
You can achieve success, just like Khao Pad Krai. Passion and purpose are the key ingredients. You'll create something amazing if you combine them.
When you are craving Thai food, don't forget to add rice and curry! Try out other ingredients and have fun!
What spices are commonly used in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine is known for its complex flavour combinations. These flavor combinations are made with unique and delicious spices that produce 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 spice contributes to Thai cuisine's distinctive flavour profile. In Thai cuisine, lemongrass is commonly used in soups and stews. Galangal provides a subtle peppery flavour to dishes. Kaffir lime leaves add a zesty, citrusy fragrance to dishes. Chillies give dishes a spicy kick. Shrimp paste enhances the umami flavor of dishes. Coriander gives off a light, yet fragrant aroma. Cumin adds to dishes a rich, smokey aroma. Turmeric gives dishes a vibrant, yellow hue.
These spices work together to create unique flavour profiles for Thai cuisine. Chefs can create delicious and aromatic dishes by using a variety of spices. You can bring Thai flavors to your kitchen by stocking up on these spices.
What is the difference between curried curry and curried curry?
The spellings are the same. Both words are used to describe the same thing: Indian dishes that combine meat or vegetables with various seasonings.
Curry comes from Hindi word kari that means "to rub". It refers how spice mixtures are applied to food. Curried foods should be cooked until they are golden brown.
Curried dishes are no longer reserved for special occasions. They're now commonplace in India. You can choose from chicken, beef, lamb or fish as well as vegetables and rice.
Curried dishes can be served alongside plain white or brown rice. You can also add raita (a yogurt sauce), or chutney (a sweet relish).
How to Store Spices
Keep them in an airtight, dry container away from heat or light.
If you want to keep spices fresh for a long time, place them into a dark cupboard. This will preserve them and prevent any oxidation.
Keep your spices out of direct sunlight and in a cool dry place. The spice may lose flavour and aroma if placed near a window or heater.
Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.
It is vital to always check the seal after opening, resealing and before storing.
Don't throw out any spice leftovers. Make sure to use leftover spices in other recipes. To extend their shelf life, you can freeze them.

How To
How do you make a garlic press?
A garlic presse is an indispensable tool for home chefs. This allows you to quickly mince garlic and make smooth sauces, soups, and salad dressings. It's also great for crushing whole garlic cloves into a buttery spread or garlic salt.
It's possible to be confused if you don’t yet own a garlicpress. Luckily, we've got some tips to help you get started.
First things first: you'll need a large bowl. Place the bowl below the press and pour in the crushed garlic. Now adjust the pressure regulator to the maximum.
Next, turn the handle counterclockwise until you hear a click. The top portion of the press should come off, revealing a flat surface. You can slide the blade across the bowl. Keep turning the handle clockwise until you reach the end of the blades.
Finally, remove the pressed garlic and enjoy!
Here are some ways to make this versatile tool even more useful:
- Garlic mince can be added to soups or sauces, salads or dips.
- The press can be used to crush whole garlic cloves and make buttery spread.
- Put whole garlic cloves on top of pizza dough, before you bake
- Blend roasted garlic into mashed potatoes or creamy polenta
- Use the press to make homemade pesto out of garlic
- Blend garlic to make a smooth vinaigrette
