How to Store Your Spices?

Keep them away from heat and light.

You can store them for long periods in a dark cupboard. This will ensure that they stay fresh and prevent any possible oxidation.

Store your spices in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. A heater or window can cause the spice to lose its aroma and flavour.

Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.

It is vital to always check the seal after opening, resealing and before storing.

You don't have to throw out leftover spices. You can make use of them by adding them to your favorite dishes. You can even freeze them to extend their shelf life.

Which Thai spice do I need to cook Thai food at home?

For authentic Thai cooking at home, you need to be familiar with five essential spices: cayenne, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper. Each of these ingredients has its distinct flavour profile and plays a vital role in creating delicious dishes.

Black pepper enhances the savoury flavors of curry powder, while cinnamon gives it sweetness. Coriander seeds give curry powder its distinctive yellow colour, while turmeric adds a spicy kick. Cayenne peppers provide heat and cilantro provides freshness. The final touch is cinnamon which gives depth and complexity to any dish.

These spices are available at most grocery stores. However, if you prefer to order them online, we have recommendations.

What uses is Thai spice?

We've all heard the term "Thai spice" thrown around without knowing exactly what it means. We are left wondering why we don't eat more Thai spice when our mouths water.

It's more than just a spice. It's an essential ingredient, which adds depth and flavor to dishes otherwise bland.

There are thousands of Thai recipes, but very few include the authentic flavor. Let's discuss how to incorporate these tasty flavors into your meals.

Thais have been cooking with herbs, spices and other flavors since ancient times. The name Thai originates from the Sanskrit word for "to cook."

Even today, most Thais prefer to eat spicy foods. This preference is often explained by the hot climate in Thailand that makes it difficult to stay warm while drinking hot drinks. 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. You'll find many ingredients there, including fresh basil leaves, dried chilies and curry paste.

You may also find whole peppercorns.

Thai cuisine uses both dry and wet spices. Dry spices are usually ground, while wet ones are crushed or pounded finely.

Dry spices can be added to any dish. For example, you can sprinkle ground red pepper onto your chicken soup. A paste is made by combining wet spices and oil with butter or butter.

Wet spices can be used in sauces, dressings, and marinades. Fish sauce, oyster sauces, sesame and sesame olive oils, curry paste and hoisin are some of the most common wet spice options.

To make Thai food at your home, it is important to understand which spices are best with particular ingredients.

For example, if you are using beef, you should use red pepper flakes. If you're using seafood like shrimp, white pepper should be used.

Online ordering is also possible if you don’t have an Asian market. This market has everything you need, including dried chilies as well as exotic herbs and spices.

This Thai recipe will give you a kick next time your stomach gets rumbling.

How To

How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms

So, the shiitakes are growing well. There's nothing wrong with them. How do we cut them? We've tried everything. Even the scissors. But they keep falling out our hands. What's the problem?

The trick is simple. Place a rubber band on the stem of the mushroom and twist it tight. You won't slip, and you won't be cut.

You might think that it seems too simple. Well, it is. But it's also very effective.

The rubber band makes stems slippery, making them feel more natural when picked up. It's a good idea to secure the stem.

Do it! It's so easy to chop mushrooms now.
