Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. It is a key ingredient in many dishes, such as Pad See Ew (Thai-fried rice), made from eggs cooked with coconut milk.
Thai food, Mexican, Spanish or Indian cuisines, Thai food, Mexican, Spanish, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Thai, Greek, Turkish and Balkan cuisines all contain paprika.
Paprika can be traced back over 5,000 years ago to Ancient Greece. The Hungarian language "pepper" is the origin of "paprika".
What purpose is Thai spice used?
It's a term we all have heard, even though we don't know what it actually 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.
Although there are many recipes that call for Thai spices in large numbers, very few recipes actually use the true thing. So let's help you figure out how to ensure you're adding these delicious flavors to your meals.
Thais have been cooking with herbs, spices and other flavors since ancient times. 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 are also more likely to consume chili peppers as compared to Americans or Europeans.
You can learn the most about Thai spices by visiting a local Asian grocery. There will be a large selection of ingredients available including dried chilies (fresh basil leaves), curry paste, ground black pepper, and curry paste.
Also, you may find whole peppercorns.
Thai cuisine can use either dry or wet spices. Wet spices are ground finely, while dry spices are typically ground.
Dry spices can be added to any dish. A good example is chicken soup with ground red pepper. A paste is made by combining wet spices and oil with butter or butter.
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.
You need to be able to match certain spices with Thai ingredients if you wish to make Thai food at home.
For example, if you are using beef, you should use red pepper flakes. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.
You can also order online if your Asian market is not available. There are many options for exotic herbs, spices and dried chilies.
These Thai recipes will make you hungry next time!
What is the difference in curry and curried?
There is no difference between the spellings. Both words refer the same thing: Indian food that uses meats and vegetables along with different seasonings.
Curry comes from Hindi word kari that means "to rub". It refers how spice mixtures are applied to food. Curry foods are usually cooked until golden brown.
While curried dishes were once reserved only for special occasions they are now enjoyed regularly throughout India. They can be made with chicken, beef or lamb and include vegetables as well.
Curried dishes can be served alongside plain white or brown rice. Other common accompaniments include raita (a yogurt sauce) and chutney (a sweet relish).
What Spices or Herbs Are Best for Potatoes
Potatoes are a wonderful side dish to almost any meat. You may be familiar with the many ways you can serve potatoes other than mashed.
These versatile vegetables can be used in a variety of dishes including soups, casseroles, and pasta dishes. You may not know, but many spices and herbs can go well with potatoes.
These delicious recipes will spice up your next potato recipe.
Can you spice up a drink?
It's amazing how spices can add flavour and flavor to food. But how can you make them live when they're used in drinks.
Spices are excellent because they add incredible depth to any beverage. From coffee to tea, hot chocolate to cocktails, there's nothing more satisfying than adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to a glass of wine or beer.
However, most recipes call for ground spice so you will need fresh whole spices. This is sensible, but it can be expensive, time-consuming, and requires storage space.
That's where the magic happens. With a little creativity, you can make your favorite spices easy to use in powdered form. Then you can mix them into your favourite beverages to create delicious spiced drinks.
Two ways can you make powders. 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.
No matter which method you use, the powder will be much easier to measure and store than whole spices. Powder keeps well, so you will never run out.
You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. You could make minty water by combining spearmint and peppermint. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.
Once you are proficient in making powdered spice, you can also apply this technique to herbs. You can use basil, rosemary and thyme as common herbs.
The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices are a great way to make your drinks more flavorful or to enhance dishes like soups and salads.

How To
Are You able to make curry paste?
Curry paste includes dried chillies (scallions, shallots), galangal root and lemongrass as well as kaffir lime leaves, garlic, shrimp pastes, sugar, salt and sometimes coconut milk. It is widely used in Thai cuisine.
Curry paste is one of the most popular condiments in Southeast Asia. Curry paste can add a distinct flavour to many dishes like curries.
It is very easy to make it at home. Follow our step-bystep guide below.
Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- Before you can start the recipe, it is important to have all the ingredients ready.
- First, peel and chop shallots (2 cups). Next, chop galangal root into small pieces (3 inches in length) and place aside.
- Next, you will need to peel and slice the garlic cloves (about 4 cloves). The lemongrass stems should be roughly 1/2 inch thick.
- Crush the red chilli peppers with about four tablespoons of water and remove the seeds.
- Next, cut kaffir lime leaves into thin strips (about 5 inches long). Take out the white part and place it in a bowl.
- After draining the shrimp paste, wash it well and then coarsely smash it.
- Last, take out the salt and sugar.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients
- Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth.
- It should have a texture similar to peanut butter.
- You can replace some oil with water if you wish to reduce the oil content of your dish.
Step3 - Add Coconut Milk
- Add coconut milk to the mixture and mix well.
- Slowly add coconut milk to ensure that the paste doesn't become too sticky.
- If you prefer less spice, add less chillies to the recipe and more galangalroot.
- You may prefer it hotter, so add more chilies or less galangalroot. The final result should taste delicious to you.
Step4: Serve
- Top it with your favorite foods.
- Enjoy!
