Frequently Asked Questions
What uses is Thai spice?
It's a term we all have heard, even though we don't know what it actually means. But when we discover our mouths water, we wonder why we haven't been eating more of it.
It's more than just a spice. It's an essential ingredient, which adds depth and flavor to dishes otherwise bland.
There are thousands of Thai recipes, but very few include the authentic flavor. So let's help you figure out how to ensure you're adding these delicious flavors to your meals.
Thais have been using herbs and spices in their cooking since antiquity to add flavor to food. Thai, which means "to make", comes from the Sanskrit word.
Thais are still fond of spicy foods. This preference is often attributed to the hot weather in Thailand, which makes it difficult to keep warm without something hot to drink. Thais also consume more chili peppers that Americans or Europeans.
The best way to learn about Thai spices is to visit a local Asian grocery store. 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 uses both dry and wet spices. Dry spices are generally ground, while wet spices can be crushed or pounded finely.
Dry spices are added directly to a dish. You can sprinkle ground red pepper on your chicken soup. Wet spices are commonly mixed with oil or butter to form a paste.
Wet spices are used in dressings, sauces and marinades. Fish sauce, oyster sauces, sesame and sesame olive oils, curry paste and hoisin are some of the most common wet spice options.
Thai recipes can be prepared at home by knowing which spices pair well with what ingredients.
Red pepper flakes can be used to season beef. If you're using seafood like shrimp, white pepper should be used.
Finally, you can always order online if you don't have access to a good quality Asian market. You can find everything here, from dried chilies to exotic spices and herbs.

What is the most popular ingredient in Thai cooking?
Two main ingredients are the heart of Thai cuisine: curry and rice. This combination creates an unforgettable taste.
Combining these two basic foods into one dish is known as "Khaopad Krai" in Thailand.
The same applies to life. If you combine hard work with perseverance, you can achieve great success.
Combining passion and purpose, as Khao Pad Krai has shown, can help you succeed. Combine them and you will create something truly extraordinary.
If you find yourself craving Thai food, keep in mind that Thai food is more than rice and curry. You'll be amazed at how much fun you can have experimenting with different ingredients!
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).
Its mild, lemony taste adds freshness and zest to dishes. Thai dishes can also be enhanced by adding other spices such galangal or coriander to their flavour.
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 Thai food, add some lime-leafmint for more flavor!
Happy cooking!
Can you add spice to a beverage?
I love the way spices add flavour to food. But how do you make spices liven up when they are added to drinks?
Spices add a wonderful depth to any beverage. A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg can make any beverage more delicious, including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and cocktails.
But most recipes call for ground spices, meaning you'll need fresh whole spices. This makes sense, but it is expensive, takes time, and requires storage space.
This is where the magic happens. You can transform your favourite spices into an easy-to-use powdered form with ingenuity. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.
There are two methods to make these powders. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. Another way is to grind the spices in a mortar and pestle.
Whatever method you choose to use, you will find that powders are much easier than whole spices. Powder keeps well, so you will never run out.
Mixing spices can be fun to create new flavors. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. You can also make spicy ginger-ginger tea by combining ginger and cardamom seeds.
Once you have mastered the art of making powdered spices you can use that same technique for herbs. Basil, rosemary, thyme and sage are some of the most popular herbs.
The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices can enhance the flavor and texture of beverages, such as soups or salads, as well as the taste of pasta.
Does Thai use ginger?
The answer is yes. The traditional Thai cooking uses ginger heavily. Ginger is often used to make stir-fries and soups. It is also used in desserts, drinks, such a lassis.
Ginger is a native to China and Japan. The origins of ginger go back over 5,000 year. It is believed it originated in Southeast Asia. There, it was used for medicinal purposes.
Ginger is known to stimulate digestion and relieve nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger is also known to reduce muscle spasms and joint pains as well as treating arthritis.
Ginger is often eaten fresh in Thailand. It is sliced into thin strips and then dried before being stored for later use. In Asian markets, you can purchase ginger root in cans or in jars.

How To
How do I decide which spices I want to buy?
You need to be able to select the right herbs and spices to use in your cooking. There are many options available, so how do you choose which ones to add in your pantry?
When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the flavour profile, shelf-life, and cost. There are many flavour profiles that can be used depending on how you cook meat, poultry, fish and vegetables as well as beans, grains, pastas, eggs, bread, cakes, and other foods. Once you've settled on a category, it's time to narrow down your choices.
Shelf lives vary greatly too. Some spices are good for a lifetime, while others can be lost quickly. For example, cayenne pepper is good for years and oregano lasts only two months. Then there's the price. Prices for spices range from $1 per teaspoon to more than $100 an 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 are less chemically and pesticide-laden than other alternatives. They are better for your environment and health. But they can often be more expensive so make sure you weigh the benefits against their costs.
Shopping online is the best way to ensure you pick the right spices for your kitchen. Online retailers offer comprehensive information about every product, including price, reviews, ratings, and ingredients.
Once you've narrowed your list, you can order directly from the retailer. After you have received your items, keep them safe in an airtight container away from heat or light.
