What uses is Thai spice?
We've all heard the term "Thai spice" thrown around without knowing exactly what it means. But when we discover our mouths water, we wonder why we haven't been eating more of it.
But it isn't just any old spice. It is an essential ingredient that brings flavor and depth into dishes that might otherwise be boring.
While there are thousands of Thai-inspired recipes out there, few of them contain the real thing. Let's discuss how to incorporate these tasty flavors into your meals.
Thais have been cooking with herbs, spices and other flavors since ancient times. Thai derives its name from the Sanskrit phrase "to cook".
Even today, most Thais prefer to eat spicy foods. 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 per capita than Americans and Europeans.
You can learn the most about Thai spices by visiting a local Asian grocery. You'll find many ingredients there, including fresh basil leaves, dried chilies and curry paste.
Whole peppercorns, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise may also be found.
Thai cuisine offers two types of spices: dry and moist. Most Thai cuisine uses dry spices, which are ground and pulverized finely.
Dry spices are added directly to a dish. You can sprinkle ground red pepper on your chicken soup. To make a paste, wet spices are often mixed with butter or oil.
Wet spices are usually used in marinades, sauces, and dressings. Common wet spices include oyster sauce, fish sauce and sesame oils, curry paste, hoisin sauce, and sesame seed oil.
If you want to try making Thai dishes at home, you need to know which spices go well with certain ingredients.
Red pepper flakes can be used to season beef. Use white pepper instead if you have seafood such as shrimp.
Online ordering is also possible if you don’t have an Asian market. You will find everything from dried chilies to exotic herbs and spices here.

Can you put spice in a drink?
I love how spices bring flavour to food. How can you make spices come to life when they are used in 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.
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 magic happens. With your creativity, you can turn your favorite spices into easy-to-use powdered products. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.
Two ways can you make powders. One method involves grinding whole spices to a fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.
Whatever method you choose to use, you will find that powders are much easier than whole spices. You won't run short of powder, and it keeps well.
You can also experiment with different spices to create new flavor combinations. 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've learned how to make powdered spices from scratch, you can apply the same process to herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.
The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices are a great way to make your drinks more flavorful or to enhance dishes like soups and salads.
Is Thai cooking made with garlic?
Thai cuisine often uses garlic. Garlic is often added to dishes such as salads, soups, stir-fries, curries, sauces, and rice.
In Thailand, garlic is chopped and fried with shallots, ginger, and spices. You can also eat it with sticky rice.
Chilli paste, salt and lime juice are the most popular ways to eat garlic. This is "Nam Phrik" or "namphrik". Nam phrik is often accompanied by grilled chicken or beef.
What are the most common spices, condiments and seasonings that Thais use in their cuisine?
Thai cuisine is a blend of influences from Asia. Its roots are found in India and China, as well as Southeast Asia.
Freshness is the main ingredient in Thai cuisine. Ingredients that are quickly cooked and picked at the right time will have more flavour. This is why meats, fish, vegetables and fruits are often eaten raw and hot.
Spices and sauces enhance the flavor and complexity of dishes. Fresh basil, cilantro, mint, coriander (cilantro), lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, garlic, chillies, chilli paste, soy sauce, tamarind juice, oyster sauce, palm sugar, coconut milk, lime leaves, galangal root, curry powder, shrimp paste, fish sauce, tamarind water, rice vinegar, etc. These are often used.

How To
How do you store your cooking spices?
Here's how to store your cooking spices for maximum performance. First, let's understand how foods are stored.
Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.
To prevent oxidation of spices, keep them in dark cupboards. Spices lose their flavor quickly if these conditions don't exist.
Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.
To create a flavorful drink, you can add spices and herbs to water. For example, you could mix 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon in 1/2 cup of warm milk and stir it well. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.
You can add dried herbs and spices to soups, stews, casseroles, pasta, rice dishes, salads, and desserts. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on the dish, and let it sit for five to ten minutes before you serve.
You can add leftover cooked vegetables, fruits, meats and shellfish to your favorite recipes as snacks.
To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Transfer frozen items to zip-top or freezer bags.
