Frequently Asked Questions
What mint is used in Thai food?
Thai cuisine has the most widespread use of lime-leaf mint (Mentha certvina).
It has a mild, citrusy flavour that gives dishes a freshness and zing. Other spices such as lemongrass, galangal, garlic and coriander are also frequently added to enhance the flavour of Thai dishes.
Mint is a versatile herb that can be used in both sweet as well as savoury meals. Using the right spices, herbs, and aromatics is essential to achieving delicious authentic Thai flavours.
If you're making Thai dishes, be sure to include lime-leaf fresh mint!
Happy cooking!
What are the principal Flavours in Thai Cuisine?
Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern, Central and Southern Thai food. Each region has its distinctive flavour profile.
Thai food can be described as sweet, salty or sour.
Thais love sweetness because it makes their dishes more delicious. Thai cuisine is rich in sweet ingredients like coconut milk and palm sugar (gula melanka).
Thailand is also a popular place for sourness. Hot dishes are often paired with sour foods. This combination helps balance out the heat.
Thai food is not complete without spicy food. Spices such as chilli pepper, galangal, ginger root, and garlic are used extensively in Thai recipes.
Can you add spice to a beverage?
I love how spices add flavor 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. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to your favorite beverage, such as coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.
Most recipes call for ground spices. This means that you'll need fresh whole spice. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.
Here is where the 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. 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. Powder also keeps well so you won't run dry.
You can also experiment with different spices to create new flavor combinations. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.
Once you are proficient in making powdered spice, you can also apply this technique to herbs. Some popular herbs include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sage.
There are many options. Powdered spices can enhance the flavor and texture of beverages, such as soups or salads, as well as the taste of pasta.

How To
How to cut Shiitake Mushrooms
So the shiitakes have been doing well. They are fine. But how do they be cut? We have tried everything, even using scissors. But they keep falling out our hands. What is the deal?
Well, there's a trick for that. To make the mushroom stem stick out, wrap a rubber band around it and twist it tightly. You won't slip, and you won't be cut.
You may be thinking that this seems too easy. It is. However, it is also very efficient.
Because the rubber band makes the stem slippery it is easy to pick it up. You can also hold the stem tight.
Now, go ahead and try it. It will be so much easier to cut mushrooms than ever before.
