Frequently Asked Questions
What uses is Thai spice?
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 more than just a spice. It is an important ingredient that gives flavor and depth to bland dishes.
Thousands of recipes call for Thai spices, but few of them include the real deal. Let's talk about how to make sure you add these amazing flavors to your meals.
Thais have been using spices and herbs to flavor food and drinks since ancient times. The name Thai originates from the Sanskrit word for "to cook."
Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference is often due to the heat in Thailand which makes it difficult for people to stay warm without hot drinks. Thais also consume more chili peppers that Americans or Europeans.
You can learn the most about Thai spices by visiting a local Asian grocery. There, you'll find a wide variety of ingredients, including dried chilies, fresh basil leaves, curry paste, and even ground black pepper.
You may also come across whole peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cardamom pods, ginger root, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, nutmeg, mace, mustard seed, saffron threads, garlic, onion, rice vinegar and tamarind juice.
Thai cuisine uses both dry and wet spices. The dry spices are usually ground while the wet spices are crushed or pounded finely.
Dry spices are often added to a dish directly. You can sprinkle ground red pepper on your chicken soup. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.
Wet spices are often used in sauces, marinades, and dressings. Common wet spices include oyster sauce, fish sauce and sesame oils, curry paste, hoisin sauce, and sesame seed oil.
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. White pepper is better for seafood such as shrimp.
If you don’t have access or the means to order from an Asian market, it is possible to order online. Here you will find everything, from dried chilies and exotic herbs to spices.
So next time you get hungry, think about putting on a little extra heat by whipping up one of these tasty Thai recipes!
Can garlic be used in Thai cooking
Thai cuisine uses garlic. Garlic is commonly added to salads.
Garlic is often fried in Thailand with ginger, shallots, and other spices. Additionally, garlic is often eaten with sticky Rice.
Chilli paste, salt and lime juice are the most popular ways to eat garlic. This mixture is known as Nam Phrik (namphrik). Nam phrik can be served with grilled chicken and beef.
Can you add spice into a drink
I love how spices add flavor to food. How can you make spices come to life when they are used in drinks?
Spices are great because they bring out the best in any beverage. A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg can make any beverage more delicious, including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and cocktails.
But, since most recipes call to ground spices, you'll need whole spices. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.
Here is where the magic happens. With your creativity, you can turn your favorite spices into easy-to-use powdered products. Then you can mix them into your favourite beverages to create delicious spiced drinks.
These powders can be made in two ways. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. Another method is to use a mortar & pestle to grind the spices until they are finely ground.
Whatever method you choose to use, you will find that powders are much easier than whole spices. Plus, the powder keeps well so that you won't run out of stock.
You can even experiment with mixing different spices to create new flavours. You could make minty water by combining spearmint and peppermint. Ginger and cardamom pods can be used to make spicy ginger Tea.
Once you are proficient in making powdered spice, you can also apply this technique to herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.
The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.
What are the most delicious Thai spices?
Galangal, coriander and turmeric are the best Thai spices. Cayenne pepper and clove are also good spices.
Other valuable spices include bay leaves, curry, pandan, curry leaves. Kaffir lime leaves. Vanilla beans. Tamarind pods. Lemon grass. Basil.

How To
How to decide what spices to buy?
Cooking requires you to learn how to choose the right herbs for your recipes. There are many choices. So where do you start?
When choosing spices, there are three things you should consider: the flavour profile, shelf-life, and cost. Flavour profiles differ depending on whether you're cooking meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, beans, grains, pasta, eggs, dessert, bread, etc. Once you have chosen a category, you can narrow down your choices by taking into account these differences.
You will also find that shelf lives can vary. Some spices will last forever, others may expire very quickly. Cayenne pepper, for example, can last years while oregano, on the other hand, loses its potency within two months. Price is another important factor. The price of spices can vary from $1 per tablespoon to over $100 per ounce. This means you need to balance quality and price.
It is also important to decide if you prefer organic ingredients or not. Organic products have fewer pesticides and chemicals that conventional products, which is better for your health as well as the environment. But they can often be more expensive so make sure you weigh the benefits against their costs.
Online shopping is the best way for you to make sure that you have the right spices in your kitchen. Online retailers provide extensive information about each product including reviews, prices, ratings and ratings.
After narrowing down your options, you can place an order directly with the retailer. You should store your items in airtight containers, away from heat and sunlight once you receive them.
