Frequently Asked Questions
What spices are used for Thai cooking?
Thai cuisine is well-known for its rich flavour profiles. These flavor combinations are made with unique and delicious spices that produce many delicious dishes.
Thai cuisine uses common ingredients such as galangal (lemongrass), kaffir lime leaves and chillies.
Each of these spices contributes to the distinctive flavour profile of Thai cuisine. Lemongrass is often used in soups, curries, and stews; galangal adds a slight peppery note to dishes; kaffir lime leaves impart a citrusy aroma; chillies provide a spicy kick; garlic adds a sharp and pungent flavour to dishes; shrimp paste adds an umami depth to food; coriander has a mild, yet fragrant aroma; cumin brings a smoky note to dishes; and turmeric gives food a vibrant yellow hue.
These spices are combined to create complex flavour profiles specific to Thai cuisine. By using a combination of spices, chefs can create dishes that are both flavorful and aromatic. These spices will help you bring Thailand's flavours to your kitchen.
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?
There is no difference between cooking whole spices and with ground spices. After harvesting, spices are ground. This ensures that there are no differences in the quality of spices.
The price difference is however significant. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. But the taste is worth it.
You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. For example, you might receive a discount if you buy an entire bag of cinnamon sticks.
The same goes for nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, etc. You may be able save money if you buy these spices in bulk.
Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.
Whole spices are a great way to add personality and flavor to your recipe.
For instance, you can make a delicious curry with whole turmeric instead of ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.
Also, grinding spices takes time. If you're buying whole spices it makes sense for you to buy large quantities. You won't run low on spices if you buy large quantities.
What is Thai spice used for?
The term Thai spice is a common phrase that we've heard a lot, but don't really know what it means. We are left wondering why we don't eat more Thai spice when our mouths water.
It's not just any spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.
While there are thousands of Thai-inspired recipes out there, few of them contain the real thing. Let's find out how to add these wonderful flavors to your dishes.
Thais have been using herbs and spices in their cooking since antiquity to add flavor to food. Thai comes from the Sanskrit term for "to prepare".
Today, Thais still love spicy food. This preference is often due to the heat in Thailand which makes it difficult for people to stay warm without hot drinks. Thais also consume more chili peppers per capita than Americans and Europeans.
A local Asian grocery store is the best place to learn more about Thai spice. You'll find many ingredients there, including fresh basil leaves, dried chilies and curry paste.
You might also find whole peppercorns and cloves as well as cinnamon sticks, star anise pods (star anise), cardamom pods ginger root, cumin seeds coriander seeds seeds, fennel seed, nutmeg mace, mustard seeds, saffron threads garlic, onion, rice vinegar, and tamarind juice.
Thai cuisine can use either dry or wet spices. Most Thai cuisine uses dry spices, which are ground and pulverized finely.
Dry spices are typically added directly to a dish. You can sprinkle ground red pepper on your chicken soup. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.
Wet spices are usually used in marinades, sauces, and dressings. Fish sauce, oyster sauces, sesame and sesame olive oils, curry paste and hoisin are some of the most common wet spice options.
Thai cuisine can be made at home by learning which spices work well with specific ingredients.
Red pepper flakes are recommended for beef. If you're using seafood like shrimp, white pepper should be used.
If you don't live near an Asian market, you can order online. There are many options for exotic herbs, spices and dried chilies.
So next time you get hungry, think about putting on a little extra heat by whipping up one of these tasty Thai recipes!

How To
How to store cooking spices?
I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, let's understand how foods are stored.
Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.
To avoid oxidation, spice should be kept in dark cupboards. Spices lose their flavor quickly if these conditions don't exist.
The best way to preserve the flavour of spices is to keep them in airtight jars away from direct sunlight.
To make flavoured drinks, you can add herbs or spices to water. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Add a squeeze or lemon juice to the mixture and serve immediately.
Add dried herbs and spices to soups. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.
Leftover cooked vegetables, fruits and meats, as well as leftover cheese, breads, crackers, cookies or cakes can be added to favorite recipes for snacks.
Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. You can also freeze herbs and spices by placing them in ice cube trays or muffin cups and freezing them. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags and zip-top plastic bag.
