Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most important flavours in Thai cuisine?

Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern and Central Thai cuisines, as well as Southern, Eastern, Western, Eastern, Western, Northeastern Thai food. Each region has a distinct flavour profile.

Thai food is known for its sweet, salty and sour flavors.

Thais consider sweetness essential because it makes dishes taste good. Thai cuisine relies heavily on sweet ingredients, such as coconut milk (gula melaka), and palm sugar.

Thailand is also a popular place for sourness. Sour foods are often served alongside hot dishes. This combination helps balance out the heat.

Thai food also includes spicy food. Thai cuisine is rich in spices like galangal, ginger root and chilli pepper.

What are the common condiments, spices and seasonings they use in their Thai dishes?

Thai cuisine is a blend of influences from Asia. Its roots are in India and China as well as Southeast Asia.

Freshness is the main ingredient in Thai cuisine. It is easier to get the best flavour from ingredients if they are picked earlier and cooked quickly. This is why meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, seeds, and grains are often eaten raw and served hot.

Sauces and spices add depth and flavor to dishes. Fresh basil, cilantro, mint, coriander (cilantro), lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, garlic, chillies, chilli paste, soy sauce, tamarind juice, oyster sauce, palm sugar, coconut milk, lime leaves, galangal root, curry powder, shrimp paste, fish sauce, tamarind water, rice vinegar, etc. These are often used.

What's the difference in cooking with whole vs. ground spices? Ground Spices?

There isn't any difference between cooking with whole spices and ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.

However, the price differences are significant. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. But the flavour is well worth it.

When you buy bulk spices, you may get additional discounts. You might get a discount if your entire bag is of cinnamon sticks.

The same is true for nutmeg cloves ginger, cardamom, and ginger. This can help you save money on spices if you buy them in bulk.

Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.

But the main reason why we recommend purchasing whole spices is that they add a lot of character to recipes.

For instance, you can make a delicious curry with whole turmeric instead of ground turmeric. You can also use whole coriander to create a spice combination for chicken dishes.

Also, grinding spices takes time. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.

How to Store Spices

Keep them out of the sun and heat.

Place them in a dark cupboard to store spices for extended periods. This will keep the spices fresh and prevent any oxidation.

Keep spices dry and away from sunlight in a cool, dry place. If the spice is placed near a heater or window, it may lose its flavour and aroma.

Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. If you are storing your spices in plastic containers, ensure there is no moisture.

As humidity can cause mold growth, it is important to check the seal before opening or resealing.

You don't have to throw out leftover spices. Don't throw them away, instead use them in new recipes. You can even freeze them to extend their shelf life.

How To

How to choose the right spices?

Cooking requires you to learn how to choose the right herbs for your recipes. There are many options available, so how do you choose which ones to add in your pantry?

When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the flavour profile, shelf-life, and cost. Depending on whether you are cooking meat, fish, vegetables or pasta, the flavour profiles of spices will vary. So once you've decided on a category, you'll need to narrow down your choices based on these differences.

Also, shelf lives can vary widely. Some spices can last forever while others go bad quickly. Cayenne pepper has a long shelf life, while oregano is only good for two months. The price is another factor. Prices for spices range from $1 per teaspoon to more than $100 an ounce. This means that spice prices can vary widely.

Also, you will need to choose whether organic or non-organic ingredients are more appealing. Organic products have fewer pesticides and chemicals that conventional products, which is better for your health as well as the environment. You'll have to balance the benefits and costs of organic products.

Shopping online is the best way to ensure you pick the right spices for your kitchen. Online retailers offer comprehensive information about every product, including price, reviews, ratings, and ingredients.

Once you have narrowed your selection, you are able to place an order directly at the retailer. You should store your items in airtight containers, away from heat and sunlight once you receive them.
