Frequently Asked Questions

What are the typical spices, condiments, and seasonings used in their dishes in Thailand?

Thai cuisine is a mix of Asian influences. Its roots are in India and China as well as Southeast Asia.

Freshness is the key ingredient in Thai cuisine. You get more flavor if ingredients are picked in the early stages of cooking and then cooked quickly. This is why meat, fish and vegetables, as well fruits, vegetables, herbs, seeds, and nuts are often eaten raw, then heated.

Spices and sauces enhance the flavor and complexity of 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. are used frequently.

Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal. What's The Difference?

An almond meal can be used as an alternative to almond flour. It can also be used in cooking and baking.

Almond flour can also contain gluten which makes it more difficult to digest. If you have celiac disease or another digestive disorder, it's essential to avoid gluten-free foods.

Although almond flour isn’t considered to be a “superfood”, it is rich in healthy fats and fibre.

The almond meal offers many nutritional benefits including iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese (thiamin), calcium, vitamin A, B1 and Vitamin C.

Almond flour, made from almonds contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oil. Both types reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL ("good") cholesterol.

Almond flour is high in antioxidants including phenolics, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds are effective in preventing oxidative damages caused by free radicals.

An experiment published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry showed that almond flour has an equivalent antioxidant activity to that of blueberries.

Almond flour can be purchased with almond milk that has been supplemented with nutrients.

What is the most well-known ingredient in Thai cuisine?

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 applies to life. Combining hard work and perseverance can lead to great success.

Combining passion and purpose, as Khao Pad Krai has shown, can help you succeed. Combining them will produce something special.

When you are craving Thai food, don't forget to add rice and curry! Try out other ingredients and have fun!

What are the best Thai spices to use?

The best Thai spices include lemongrass, galangal, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger. Cayenne pepper and clove are also good spices.

Rose petals, bay leaves and pandan leaves are all valuable spices.

How To

How to Make a Garlic Press

A garlic press is one of the most valuable tools in any home cook's arsenal. It makes it easy to mince garlic into a paste, puree it into soups or salad dressings, or even make a sauce. You can also crush whole garlic cloves to make buttery spreads or garlic seasonings.

But if you don't own a garlic press yet, you might wonder where to start with one. These tips will help you get started.

First of all, you'll need to get a large bowl. Place the bowl underneath the press and pour the crushed garlic into it. Now, turn the pressure regulator to maximum.

Next, turn the handle counterclockwise until you hear a click. The top end of the press should lift and reveal a flat area that allows you to slide your blade back and forth across the bowl. Continue turning the handle in a clockwise direction until the blades come to a close.

Finally, take out the pressed garlic.

Here are other ways you can make use of this versatile tool.

• Garlic mince can be added to soups or sauces, salads or dips.
• You can crush whole garlic cloves using the press to make a buttery spread
• Before baking, crush whole cloves of garlic on pizza dough
• Roasted garlic can be incorporated into creamy polenta or mashed potatoes.
• Use the press to make homemade pesto out of garlic
• Puree garlic and make a smooth dressing
