Frequently Asked Questions
Is garlic used in Thai cooking?
Thai cuisine includes garlic. Garlic is often added to dishes such as salads, soups, stir-fries, curries, sauces, and rice.
In Thailand, garlic can be chopped and fried along with ginger and shallots. Also, you can eat it with sticky white rice.
Garlic is best chopped finely and mixed with oil, chilli paste, fish sauce, lime juice and oil. This mixture is called "Nam Phrik" (namphrik). Nam phrik often comes with grilled chicken breast or beef.
What is the most popular ingredient in Thai cooking?
Two main ingredients are the heart of Thai cuisine: curry and rice. This is how you get an unforgettable flavor.
The combination is called "Khao Pad Krai" in Thailand. This means that when two simple foods are combined, they can become irresistible and delicious.
The same applies to life. The right combination of perseverance and hard work can bring you great success.
The right ingredients can make you successful, like Khao Pad Krai: passion and purpose. Combining them will produce something special.
You should remember that Thai food requires more than curry and rice to create memorable meals. Try experimenting with other ingredients and see how much fun it can be!
What mint is used for Thai food?
Lime-leaf mint (Mentha cervina) is the most commonly used type of mint in Thai cuisine.
It has a mild, citrusy flavour that gives dishes a freshness and zing. Thai dishes are enhanced with other spices, such as galangal and coriander.
Mint can be used in sweet or savoury dishes. Using the right spices, herbs, and aromatics is essential to achieving delicious authentic Thai flavours.
next time you make a Thai dish, don't forget to include some lime-leaf mint for extra flavour!
Happy cooking!
Almond Flour and Almond Meal: What is the Difference?
Almond meal can be substituted for almond flour and is versatile enough to be used in baking, cooking and even making nut-free meals.
Almond flour might also contain gluten, which can make it hard to digest. If you have celiac disease or another digestive disorder, it's essential to avoid gluten-free foods.
Almond flour isn't considered "superfood", but it is high in healthy fats, fibres, protein, vitamin E, and sodium.
The almond meal provides nutritional benefits such as magnesium, iron, zinc and manganese. It also contains vitamin A, B1 (thiamin), C, and folate.
Almond flour is made from almonds and contains monounsaturated fat acids. Almond oil, however, contains polyunsaturated oils. Both can lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol.
In addition, almond flour is rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids, phenolics, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds are effective in preventing oxidative damages caused by free radicals.
The Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry published a study that found almond flour to have the same antioxidant activity as blueberries, cranberries and pomegranates.
Almond flour can be purchased with almond milk that has been supplemented with nutrients.
What are the Primary Flavours In Thai Cooking?
Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. There are five main types of Thai cuisine: Northern, Central, Southern and Eastern. Each region is unique in its flavour profiles.
Thai food is known for its sweet, salty and sour flavors.
Sweetness is essential for Thais because it makes the dishes palatable. Thai cuisine relies heavily on sweet ingredients, such as coconut milk (gula melaka), and palm sugar.
Thailand is also a popular place for sourness. Hot dishes are often served with sour foods. This combination helps balance out the heat.
Thai food also includes spicy food. Thai dishes often use spices such as chili pepper, galangal or ginger root.
What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?
There are no significant differences in the cooking of whole and ground spices. All spices can be ground once they have been harvested. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.
But the price gap is significant. Because of the labor involved in making whole spices, they cost more. But the flavour is well worth it.
You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. An example: If you buy an entire bag full of cinnamon sticks, you might get a discount.
The same is true for nutmeg cloves ginger, cardamom, and ginger. You might be able to save money by buying these spices in bulk.
Ground spices don't last as long as 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.
You can make delicious curry using whole turmeric, instead of ground turmeric. To make a spice mixture for chicken dishes, you can grind whole coriander seed.
Also, grinding spices takes time. When you buy whole spices, it makes sense to buy a large quantity. That way, you won't run out of spices too fast.
Statistics

How To
How can I store my cooking spices?
This article will show you how to store cooking spice for optimal performance. First, let's understand how foods are stored.
Because spice's flavour is diminished by light exposure, it should be stored in airtight containers. This is caused by oxidation, which happens when oxygen and organic compounds combine like spices.
To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept in dark cupboards. If these conditions are not met, spices will quickly lose their flavour.
Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.
You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Serve immediately by adding a squeeze lemon juice.
Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Spread the spice mixture evenly onto the dish. Allow it to sit for between 5-10 minutes before serving.
As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.
For the best flavor of fresh herbs, you can chop them up or tear them apart and then add them to your favorite foods. It is also possible to freeze herbs and spices in muffin cups or ice cube trays. Once frozen, place them in freezer bags or zip-top bags.
