Frequently Asked Questions

What is the importance and purpose of spices?

A spice is a seasoning used to enhance flavour in food. Spices come in various forms, such as powders, liquids, gums, oils, pastes, and seeds. They are also called condiments and flavours.

It's a great way of adding variety to your meals by spiceing them up. Numerous spices can be added to dishes for extra flavour and excitement.

You may find that adding a few drops of hot pepper sauce to a bowl of soup will make it taste more delicious. You could also add a few cayenne peppers to a cup of rice.

The best way to experiment with spicing recipes is to use fresh ingredients. When you are buying dried herbs, make sure they are organic. Fresh herbs last longer than dried.

While some spices are essential for cooking, others might be better to avoid. Cinnamon sticks are high in coumarin so you should avoid them if your liver has been affected. Ginger also contains some coumarin but it is less concentrated. It is safe for those who have not had liver problems in the past.

Which Thai spice do I need to cook Thai food at 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 a unique flavor profile and plays an essential role in creating delicious dishes.

Black pepper enhances the savoury flavors of curry powder, while cinnamon gives it sweetness. Curry powder is given its characteristic yellow colour by turmeric and coriander seed. Cayenne peppers are hot, and cilantro adds freshness. Finally, cinnamon can add depth and complexity in any dish.

You can buy each of these spices in your local grocery shop, or you can order them online.

Can you add spice to a beverage?

I love the way spices add flavour to food. But how do you make them come alive when used in drinks?

Spices are wonderful because they can add depth and flavor to any beverage. You can add a little cinnamon or nutmeg to any glass of wine, beer or coffee.

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.

Here is where the magic happens. With some creativity, your favourite spices can be made into powdered forms that are easy to use. You can then mix the spices into your favorite beverages to make delicious spiced drinks.

These powders can be made in two ways. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. One method involves using a mortar-and-pestle to grind spices into a finer consistency.

It doesn't matter what method you choose, the result is easier to measure out than whole spices and easier to store. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.

Mixing spices can be fun to create new flavors. You could make minty water by combining spearmint and peppermint. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.

Once you've learned how to make powdered spices from scratch, you can apply the same process to herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.

There are so many possibilities. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.

Dry spices can be added to any dish. For example, you can sprinkle ground red pepper onto your chicken soup. To make a paste, wet spices are often mixed with butter or oil.

Wet spices are usually used in marinades, sauces, and dressings. The most popular wet spices are fish sauce (oyster sauce), sesame oil, sesame paste, curry paste, and Hoisin sauce.

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. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.

If you don’t have access or the means to order from an Asian market, it is possible to order online. You can find everything here, from dried chilies to exotic spices and herbs.

How To

How to cut Shiitake Mushrooms

The shiitakes seem to be doing well. There's nothing wrong with them. But how do we cut them without cutting ourselves? We tried everything. Even scissors. They keep falling out of our hands. What's going on here?

It's possible to do this by using a trick. You must put a rubber band around the mushroom's stem and twist it tight. That way, you won't slip and cut yourself.

This may seem too simple. It is. However, it is also very efficient.

Because the rubber band makes the stem slippery it is easy to pick it up. You can also hold the stem tight.

Do it! You will be amazed at the ease with which you can now cut mushrooms.
