Frequently Asked Questions

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

In order to cook authentic Thai food at home you will need five spices: black pepper (cayenne), coriander seeds (coriander seeds), turmeric and cinnamon. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in the creation delicious dishes.

Black pepper adds savoury flavours, while cinnamon adds sweetness. Coriander seeds add a spicy kick, while turmeric gives curry powder its signature yellow colour. Cayenne peppers heat up the dish, while cilantro adds flavor and freshness. Finally, cinnamon adds depth and complexity to any dish.

You can find each of these spices at your local grocery store, but if you'd instead buy them online, here are our recommendations for where to shop.

What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?

There isn't any difference between cooking with whole spices and ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. This ensures that there are no differences in the quality of spices.

The price difference is however significant. Whole spices are more expensive because of the labor required to process them. But the flavour is worth it.

You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. For example, you might receive a discount if you buy an entire bag of cinnamon sticks.

It is the same for cardamom and cloves as well as ginger, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger. If you purchase these spices in bulk, you may be able to save money.

Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.

However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.

You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.

Additionally, spices need to be ground. It makes sense to purchase large quantities of whole spices when you are buying them. This will ensure that you don't run out of spices quickly.

What is Thai cooking's most famous ingredient?

Two main ingredients are the heart of Thai cuisine: curry and rice. These two elements combine to create a memorable flavor.

Thais call this combination "Khao pad Krai," which translates to "the best dish." This is because the two basic foods can be combined to create something truly delicious and irresistible.

The same is true of your personal life. The right combination of perseverance and hard work can bring you great success.

As Khao Pad Krai did, passion and purpose can be combined to make you successful. You'll create something amazing if you combine them.

When you are craving Thai food, don't forget to add rice and curry! Have fun with it!

Can you put spice in a drink?

I love how spices add flavor to food. But how can you make them live when they're used in drinks.

Spices are great because they bring out the best in 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.

Most recipes require ground spices. You will need to use fresh whole spices. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.

This is 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.

There are two methods to make these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices into fine powder. Another way is to grind the spices in a mortar and pestle.

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.

Mixing different spices can create new flavors. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. To make spicy ginger tea, you can also combine ginger and cardamom pods.

Once you are skilled in the production of powdered spices, it is possible to apply that technique to herbs. Oregano and rosemary are all popular herbs.

The possibilities are limitless. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.

What spices are commonly used in Thai cuisine?

Thai cuisine is known for its complex flavour combinations. These flavors are created from unique, flavorful spices which create delicious dishes.

Thai cuisine uses common ingredients such as galangal (lemongrass), kaffir lime leaves and chillies.

Each spice adds to Thai cuisine's distinct flavour profile. In Thai cuisine, lemongrass is commonly used in soups and stews. Galangal provides a subtle peppery flavour to dishes. Kaffir lime leaves add a zesty, citrusy fragrance to dishes. Chillies give dishes a spicy kick. Shrimp paste enhances the umami flavor of dishes. Coriander gives off a light, yet fragrant aroma. Cumin adds to dishes a rich, smokey aroma. Turmeric gives dishes a vibrant, yellow hue.

These spices are combined to create complex flavour profiles specific to Thai cuisine. The combination of spices allows chefs to create dishes that are both delicious and aromatic. You can bring Thai flavors to your kitchen by stocking up on these spices.
