Frequently Asked Questions
What Thai spice is needed to make Thai food at my home?
To make authentic Thai food at home, you'll need to master five essential spices: black pepper, cayenne, coriander seeds, turmeric, and cinnamon. Each ingredient has its own unique flavour profile, and each plays an important role in creating delicious dishes.
Cinnamon adds sweetness, while black pepper brings out savoury flavours. Coriander seeds provide a spicy kick and turmeric gives curry powder the yellow color it is known for. Cayenne peppers heat up the dish, while cilantro adds flavor and freshness. Finally, cinnamon can add depth and complexity in any dish.
Each of these spices can be found at your local grocery, but you may prefer to buy them online.
What's the difference of curry and curried
The spellings are the same. Both words refer the same thing: Indian food that uses meats and vegetables along with different seasonings.
Curry is derived from the Hindi word kari, which means "to rub". This refers to the way the spice mixture is applied to the food. Curried foods are generally cooked until they become golden.
Although curried dishes used to be reserved for special occasions, today they are enjoyed all over India. They can be made with chicken, beef or lamb and include vegetables as well.
Curried dishes are typically served alongside plain white rice. Another common accompaniment is raita, a yogurt sauce, and chutney, a sweet relish.
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?
There is no difference between cooking whole spices and with ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. This ensures that there are no differences in the quality of spices.
But the price gap is significant. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. The flavor is well worth the effort.
Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. An example: If you buy an entire bag full of cinnamon sticks, you might get a discount.
The same applies to nutmeg and cloves, ginger or cardamom. If you purchase these spices in bulk, you may be able to save money.
Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.
The main reason we recommend whole spices over dried is that they can add lots of flavor to recipes.
You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. To make a spice mixture for chicken dishes, you can grind whole coriander seed.
Also, grinding spices takes time. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. This will ensure that you don't run out of spices quickly.
What mint is used for Thai food?
Lime-leaf mint (Mentha cervina) is the most commonly used type of mint in Thai cuisine.
Its mild, lemony taste adds freshness and zest to dishes. Thai dishes are enhanced with other spices, such as galangal and coriander.
Mint is a versatile herb that can be used in both sweet as well as savoury meals. You can create authentic Thai flavours by choosing the right herbs, spices, and aromatics.
For extra flavor, make sure to add lime-leaf mint next time you prepare a Thai meal!
Happy cooking!
How to Store Spices
Keep them in an airtight container away from light and heat.
If you want to keep spices fresh for a long time, place them into a dark cupboard. This will keep the spices fresh and prevent any oxidation.
Keep spices away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool place. If the spice is placed near a heater or window, it may lose its flavour and aroma.
Spices should be stored in an airtight tin or glass jar. Make sure that there is no moisture in any plastic containers you store spices in.
Check the seal every time you open and reseal it. Heat can cause moisture to spoil your product.
Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. Make sure to use leftover spices in other recipes. For an extended shelf life, you can freeze the vegetables.

How To
How to cut Shiitake Mushrooms
So the shiitakes have been doing well. You can't go wrong with them. But how do we cut them without cutting ourselves? We've tried everything. Even the scissors. But they keep slipping out of our hands. What's the problem?
The trick is simple. Put a rubber band around your mushroom stem and twist it tight. That way, you won't slip and cut yourself.
You might think that it seems too simple. It is. However, it is also very efficient.
The rubber band makes your stem slippery and it feels very natural when you pick it it up. It doesn't hurt to keep the stem in place.
You can now try it. It will be so much easier to cut mushrooms than ever before.
