What does Thai spice serve?
The term Thai spice is a common phrase that we've heard a lot, but don't really know what it means. But once we start to feel the heat in our mouths, we wonder why it hasn't been eaten more.
It's much more than a spice. It's an ingredient that can add flavor and depth in dishes that otherwise would be bland.
There are thousands of Thai recipes, but very few include the authentic flavor. Let's learn how to include these delicious flavors in your meals.
Thais have been cooking with herbs, spices and other flavors since ancient times. Thai, which means "to make", comes from the Sanskrit word.
Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference is often attributed to the hot weather in Thailand, which makes it difficult to keep warm without something hot to drink. 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 are many options available, including dried chilies as well as fresh basil leaves and curry paste.
Whole peppercorns, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise may also be found.
There are two types of spices in Thai cuisine: dry and wet. Wet spices are ground finely, while dry spices are typically ground.
Dry spices are added directly to a dish. Ground red pepper can be sprinkled on chicken soup, for example. In order to make a paste out of wet spices, oil or butter is often used.
Wet spices are often used in sauces, marinades, 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 recipes can be prepared at home by knowing which spices pair well with what ingredients.
For example, red pepper flakes is recommended for beef. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.
Finally, you can always order online if you don't have access to a good quality Asian market. This market has everything you need, including dried chilies as well as exotic herbs and spices.
These Thai recipes will make you hungry next time!

Some other valuable spices include rose petals, bay leaves, curry leaves, pandan leaves, kaffir lime leaves, vanilla beans, tamarind pods, lemon grass, basil, and mint.
How to store your spices?
They should be kept out of direct sunlight and heat in an airtight container.
For longer storage, store spices in a dark cabinet. This will ensure that they stay fresh and prevent any possible oxidation.
Keep your spices out of direct sunlight and in a cool dry place. The spice may lose flavour and aroma if placed near a window or heater.
Spices work best in an airtight jar or tin. You should ensure that the containers are not moistened if you store them in plastic containers.
Always check the seal after opening and resealing, as humidity can cause spoilage.
If you have leftover spices, don't throw them away. Make sure to use leftover spices in other recipes. For an extended shelf life, you can freeze the vegetables.

How To
How to decide what spices to buy?
Knowing how to choose the best herbs and spices for your dishes is essential to being a good cook. There are many choices. So where do you start?
Three factors are important to consider when choosing spices. They are the taste profile, shelf live, and price. You can choose to use different flavour profiles depending on whether your cooking involves meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and pasta. So once you've decided on a category, you'll need to narrow down your choices based on these differences.
You will also find that shelf lives can vary. Some spices last forever, while others expire quickly. Cayenne pepper can last for many years, while oregano only loses its potency in two months. The price is another factor. Spices are available in a range of prices, from $1 per tablespoon to more expensive than $100 per an ounce. This means that spice prices can vary widely.
It's also important to determine if organic or nonorganic ingredients you prefer. Organic products contain fewer chemicals and pesticides than conventional alternatives, making them better for your health and the environment. However, they often cost more, so you'll need to weigh those costs against the benefits.
Shopping online is the best way to ensure you pick the right spices for your kitchen. Online retailers provide comprehensive information on every product, including pricing, reviews and ratings.
After narrowing down your options, you can place an order directly with the retailer. Once you have received your items safely store them in an airtight container, away from heat & light.
