Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most important flavours in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern, Central and Southern Thai food. Each region has its own unique flavour profile.
Thai food has many common flavors, including sweet, salty.
Thais love sweetness because it makes their dishes more delicious. Thai cuisine is rich in sweet ingredients like coconut milk and palm sugar (gula melanka).
Sourness is also very popular in Thailand. Hot dishes are often served with sour foods. This helps to balance the heat.
Thai food also includes spicy food. Thai recipes often include spices such as galangal and ginger root.
What is the value of spices?
A spice is an ingredient that adds flavor to food. There are many types of spices, including powders, liquids and oils. They can also be called condiments or flavours.
You can spice up meals to make them more interesting. For extra flavor and excitement, you can add many spices to your dishes.
Hot pepper sauce may make soup taste better. You could also add a few cayenne peppers to a cup of rice.

What purpose is Thai spice used?
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.
But it isn't just any old spice. It's an ingredient that can add flavor and depth in dishes that otherwise would be bland.
Thousands of recipes call for Thai spices, but few of them include the real deal. Let's learn how to include these delicious flavors in your meals.
Thais have used herbs and spices since ancient times to enhance food and drink. Thai derives its name from the Sanskrit phrase "to cook".
Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference can often be attributed to Thailand's hot weather, which makes it hard to stay warm without hot beverages. Thais also consume more chili peppers per capita than Americans and Europeans.
Visit a local Asian grocery shop to find out more about Thai spices. There you will find a variety of ingredients such as dried chilies fresh basil leaves curry paste and ground black pepper.
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 has two kinds of spices: wet and dry. Most Thai cuisine uses dry spices, which are ground and pulverized finely.
Dry spices are added directly to a dish. Ground red pepper can be sprinkled on chicken soup, for example. Wet spices are commonly mixed with oil or butter to form a paste.
Wet spices are used in dressings, sauces and marinades. Some common wet spices include fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, curry paste, and hoisin sauce.
If you want to try making Thai dishes at home, you need to know which spices go well with certain ingredients.
For example, if you are using beef, you should use red pepper flakes. Use white pepper instead if you have seafood such as shrimp.
You can also order online if your Asian market is not available. This market has everything you need, including dried chilies as well as exotic herbs and spices.

What are the main spices, condiments, seasonings and herbs used in Thai cuisine?
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. It is easier to get the best flavour from ingredients if they are picked earlier and cooked quickly. This is the reason meat, fish, fruits and vegetables are often eaten raw.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms
The shiitakes seem to be doing well. You can't go wrong with them. But how do we cut them without cutting ourselves? We've tried everything, even scissors. But they keep slipping out of our hands. What's the matter?
There's a trick to that. Use a rubber band to secure the stem of your mushroom. By doing this, you won’t slip and get cut.
This may seem too simple. It is. But it's also very effective.
The rubber band makes the stem slippery, so it feels natural when you pick it up. You can also hold the stem tight.
Try it now. It will be so much easier to cut mushrooms than ever before.
