What does Thai spice serve?
It's a term we all have heard, even though we don't know what it actually means. It makes our mouths water when we try it.

Thais have used herbs and spices since ancient times to enhance food and drink. Thai derives its name from the Sanskrit phrase "to cook".
Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference can often be attributed to Thailand's hot weather, which makes it hard to stay warm without hot beverages. Thais also consume more chili peppers per capita than Americans and Europeans.
A local Asian grocery store is the best place to learn more about Thai spice. There will be a large selection of ingredients available including dried chilies (fresh basil leaves), curry paste, ground black pepper, 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. Most Thai cuisine uses dry spices, which are ground and pulverized finely.
Dry spices are often added to a dish directly. 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 can be used in sauces, dressings, and marinades. Some common wet spices include fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, curry paste, and hoisin sauce.
Thai recipes can be prepared at home by knowing which spices pair well with what ingredients.
Red pepper flakes should be used if you're using beef. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.
Online ordering is also possible if you don’t have an Asian market. There are many options for exotic herbs, spices and dried chilies.

How To Make A Garlic Press?
