Frequently Asked Questions
Does Thai use ginger?
The answer is yes. Traditional Thai cooking makes extensive use of ginger. It is often added to stir-fries and soups and is also commonly used in desserts and drinks such as lassis.
Ginger is native to China, Japan, and Korea, and its origins date back more than 5,000 years. It is believed it originated in Southeast Asia. There, it was used for medicinal purposes.
Ginger is known to stimulate digestion and relieve nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. In addition, ginger aids in reducing muscle spasms, relieving joint pains, and treating arthritis.
Ginger is most commonly used fresh in Thailand. The ginger root is cut into thin strips, dried and stored in a sealed container for future use. In Asian markets, you can purchase ginger root in cans or in jars.
Is it possible to add spice to a drink?
I love how spices add flavor to food. But how do you make spices liven up when they are added to drinks?
Spices can bring out the best of any beverage. There's nothing better than adding cinnamon or nutmeg in your glass of wine or beer, whether it's coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or cocktails.
But, since most recipes call to ground spices, you'll need whole spices. This makes sense, but it is expensive, takes time, and requires storage space.
This is where magic happens. With some creativity, your favourite spices can be made into powdered forms that are easy to use. These spices can be mixed into favorite beverages to create tasty spiced drinks.
There are two possible ways to create these powders. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. Another uses a mortar and pestle to grind the spices into a finer consistency.
You'll find it easier to make powder than whole spices, regardless of the method. Powder keeps well, so you will never run out.
You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. Ginger and cardamom pods can be used to make spicy ginger Tea.
Once you've mastered making powdered spices, you can apply the same technique to herbs. You can use basil, rosemary and thyme as common 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 can be used in Thai cooking
Thai cuisine is known for its complex flavour combinations. These flavours come from unique and flavorful spices that create various delicious dishes.
Common ingredients used in Thai cooking include lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, chillies, garlic, shrimp paste, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and more.
Each spice adds to Thai cuisine's distinct flavour profile. It is used often in soups and curries; galangal lends a slightly peppery taste to dishes; chillies add a spicy kick; garlic gives dishes an umami depth; shrimp paste adds a subtle, but fragrant, aroma to dishes; coriander brings out a mild, yet pleasant aroma to dishes; cumin adds a smoky flavor to dishes; and turmeric gives food a vivid yellow color.
Together, these spices combine to create complex flavour profiles unique to Thai cuisine. The combination of spices allows chefs to create dishes that are both delicious and aromatic. These spices will help you bring Thailand's flavours to your kitchen.
What is the difference between cooking Whole and Ground Spices? Ground Spices?
There are no significant differences in the cooking of whole and ground spices. After harvesting, spices are ground. There is no quality difference.
However, the price differences are significant. Because of the labor involved in making whole spices, they cost more. However, the flavor is worth it.
When you buy bulk spices, you may get additional discounts. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.
The same goes for nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, etc. This can help you save money on spices if you buy them in bulk.
Ground spices don't last as long as whole spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.
The main reason we recommend whole spices over dried is that they can add lots of flavor to recipes.
Whole turmeric can be used to make delicious curry. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.
Additionally, spices need to be ground. It is sensible to purchase large quantities when buying whole spices. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms
The shiitakes are doing well. You can't go wrong with them. But how do we cut them without cutting ourselves? We've tried everything, even scissors. We keep losing them. What is the deal?
It's possible to do this by using a trick. To make the mushroom stem stick out, wrap a rubber band around it and twist it tightly. That way, you won't slip and cut yourself.
You may think it sounds too easy. It is. But it's also very effective.
The rubber band makes it slippery so that it feels natural when you pick up the stem. The stem can be held securely.
Go ahead, try it. You will be amazed at the ease with which you can now cut mushrooms.
