Frequently Asked Questions

What does Thai spice serve?

Everyone has heard the term Thai spice, but not all know what it is. It makes our mouths water when we try it.

It's not just any spice. It is an important ingredient that gives flavor and depth to bland dishes.

There are thousands of Thai recipes, but very few include the authentic flavor. Let's learn how to include these delicious flavors in your meals.

Thais have been using herbs and spices in their cooking since antiquity to add flavor to food. Thai derives its name from the Sanskrit phrase "to cook".

Today, Thais still love spicy food. This preference is often attributed to the hot weather in Thailand, which makes it difficult to keep warm without something hot to drink. Thais are also more likely to consume chili peppers as compared to Americans or Europeans.

The best way to learn about Thai spices is to visit a local Asian grocery store. There are many options available, including dried chilies as well as fresh basil leaves and curry paste.

You might also find whole peppercorns and cloves as well as cinnamon sticks, star anise pods (star anise), cardamom pods ginger root, cumin seeds coriander seeds seeds, fennel seed, nutmeg mace, mustard seeds, saffron threads garlic, onion, rice vinegar, and tamarind juice.

Thai cuisine uses both dry and wet spices. Dry spices are generally ground, while wet spices can be crushed or pounded finely.

Dry spices are often added to a dish directly. Ground red pepper can be sprinkled on chicken soup, for example. Wet spices are commonly mixed with oil or butter to form a paste.

Wet spices are often used in sauces, marinades, and dressings. Common wet spices include oyster sauce, fish sauce and sesame oils, curry paste, hoisin sauce, and sesame seed oil.

To make Thai food at your home, it is important to understand which spices are best with particular ingredients.

For example, if you are using beef, you should use red pepper flakes. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.

You can also order online if your Asian market is not available. This market has everything you need, including dried chilies as well as exotic herbs and spices.

So next time you get hungry, think about putting on a little extra heat by whipping up one of these tasty Thai recipes!

What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?

There is no difference between cooking whole spices and with ground spices. All spices can be ground once they have been harvested. This ensures that there are no differences in the quality of spices.

But the price gap is significant. Whole spices cost more because of the labour involved in processing them. The flavor is well worth the effort.

If you purchase whole spices in bulk, you might get an additional discount. A whole bag of cinnamon sticks might be eligible for a discount.

This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. You might be able to save money by buying these spices in bulk.

Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. This is because ground spices lose their potency quickly due to oxidation.

Whole spices are a great way to add personality and flavor to your recipe.

For instance, you can make a delicious curry with whole turmeric instead of ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.

Also, grinding spices takes time. A large amount of whole spices is a good idea. So you don't run short of spices.

What spices are used in Thai cooking?

Thai cuisine is famous for its complex flavor profiles. These flavors are created from unique, flavorful spices which create delicious dishes.

Common ingredients for Thai cooking are galangal, lemongrass, kaffirlim leaves, chillies and garlic.

Each spice contributes to Thai cuisine's distinctive flavour profile. In Thai cuisine, lemongrass is commonly used in soups and stews. Galangal provides a subtle peppery flavour to dishes. Kaffir lime leaves add a zesty, citrusy fragrance to dishes. Chillies give dishes a spicy kick. Shrimp paste enhances the umami flavor of dishes. Coriander gives off a light, yet fragrant aroma. Cumin adds to dishes a rich, smokey aroma. Turmeric gives dishes a vibrant, yellow hue.

Together, these spices combine to create complex flavour profiles unique to Thai cuisine. By using a combination of spices, chefs can create dishes that are both flavorful and aromatic. Stock up on these spices if you want to incorporate the Thai flavours into your cooking.

What kind of mint are used in Thai cuisine?

Thai cuisine uses the most popular type of mint, the lime-leaf (Mentha cevina).

Its mild, lemony taste adds freshness and zest to dishes. Thai dishes can also be enhanced by adding other spices such galangal or coriander to their flavour.

Mint can be used as a sweet or savoury herb. You can create authentic Thai flavours by choosing the right herbs, spices, and aromatics.

For extra flavor, make sure to add lime-leaf mint next time you prepare a Thai meal!

Happy cooking!

Is it possible to add spice to a drink?

I love how spices add flavor to food. How can you make spices come to life when they are used in drinks?

Spices are excellent because they add incredible depth to 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 call for ground spices. This means that you'll need fresh whole spice. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.

Here's where the magic happens. With a little creativity, you can make your favorite spices easy to use in powdered form. To make tasty spiced drinks, you can combine them with your favourite beverages.

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 even experiment with mixing different spices to create new flavours. Peppermint and spearmint can be combined to make minty water. You can also make spicy ginger-ginger tea by combining ginger and cardamom seeds.

Once you have mastered the art of making powdered spices you can use that same technique for herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.

There are so many possibilities. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.

What are the main spices, condiments, seasonings and herbs used in Thai cuisine?

Thai cuisine is a combination of influences from all over Asia. It is rooted in India and China along with Southeast Asia.

Freshness, the essential ingredient of Thai cuisine, is key. Ingredients that are quickly cooked and picked at the right time will have more flavour. This is why meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, seeds, and grains are often eaten raw and served hot.

The addition of spices and sauces can add depth and aroma to 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. are commonly used.

How to store cooking spice?

Here's how to store your cooking spices for maximum performance. First, we must understand how food is stored.

Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. This is due oxygen reacting with organic compounds such that spices, causing oxidation.

To avoid oxidation, spice should be kept in dark cupboards. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.

The best way to preserve the flavour of spices is to keep them in airtight jars away from direct sunlight.

To make flavoured drinks, you can add herbs or spices to water. Mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup warm water. Stir well. Add a squeeze or lemon juice to the mixture and serve immediately.

You can add dried herbs and spices to soups, stews, casseroles, pasta, rice dishes, salads, and desserts. Simply sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the dish and sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Leftover cooked vegetables, fruits and meats, as well as leftover cheese, breads, crackers, cookies or cakes can be added to favorite recipes for snacks.

Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. You can also freeze herbs and spices by placing them in ice cube trays or muffin cups and freezing them. Once frozen, place them in freezer bags or zip-top bags.
