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. Ginger root can be purchased in cans or jars at Asian markets.
How to Store Spices
Keep them away from heat and light.
To store spices for longer periods of time, place them in a dark cupboard. This will ensure that they stay fresh and prevent any possible oxidation.
Keep your spices out of direct sunlight and in a cool dry place. If the spice is placed near a heater or window, it may lose its flavour and aroma.
Spices are best stored in an airtight glass jar or tin. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.
It is vital to always check the seal after opening, resealing and before storing.
Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. Don't throw them away, instead use them in new recipes. You can even freeze them to extend their shelf life.
What Thai spice is needed to make Thai food at my home?
For authentic Thai cooking at home, you need to be familiar with five essential spices: cayenne, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper. Each ingredient has a unique flavor profile and plays an essential role in creating delicious dishes.
Cinnamon brings out the sweetness of black pepper, while white pepper enhances the savoury flavours. Curry powder gets its yellow hue from turmeric and coriander seeds. Cayenne peppers bring the heat while cilantro adds freshness. Cinnamon adds complexity and depth to any dish.
Each of these spices is available in your local grocery. If you'd rather buy them online, the following are our recommendations.
What uses is Thai spice?
It's a term we all have heard, even though we don't know what it actually means. We are left wondering why we don't eat more Thai spice when our mouths water.
It isn't just any spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.
There are thousands of Thai recipes, but very few include the authentic flavor. Let's talk about how to make sure you add these amazing flavors to your meals.
Thais have used herbs and spices since ancient times to enhance food and drink. Thai derives its name from the Sanskrit phrase "to cook".
Even today, most Thais prefer to eat spicy foods. This preference is often explained by the hot climate in Thailand that makes it difficult to stay warm while drinking hot drinks. Thais also consume more chili peppers that Americans or Europeans.
Visit a local Asian grocery shop to find out more about Thai spices. There, you'll find a wide variety of ingredients, including dried chilies, fresh basil leaves, curry paste, and even ground black pepper.
You may also come across whole peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cardamom pods, ginger root, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, nutmeg, mace, mustard seed, 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. For example, ground red pepper is sprinkled onto chicken soup. In order to make a paste out of wet spices, oil or butter is often used.
Wet spices can be used in sauces, dressings, and marinades. The most popular wet spices are fish sauce (oyster sauce), sesame oil, sesame paste, curry paste, and Hoisin sauce.
Thai recipes can be prepared at home by knowing which spices pair well with what ingredients.
For example, if you are using beef, you should use red pepper flakes. If you use seafood like shrimp, you should use white pepper instead.
Online ordering is also possible if you don’t have an Asian market. You can find everything here, from dried chilies to exotic spices and herbs.

How To
How to store cooking spices?
Here's how to store your cooking spices for maximum performance. First of all, we need to establish an understanding of the science behind the storage of foodstuffs.
Spices are stored in airtight containers away from the light because exposure to light diminishes their flavour. 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 fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.
For a flavoured beverage, add herbs and spices. Mix 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm liquid and stir. 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.
Remaining cooked vegetables, fruit and meats can be used in your favorite recipes to make snacks.
For the best flavor of fresh herbs, you can chop them up or tear them apart and then add them to your favorite foods. You can also freeze herbs and spices by placing them in ice cube trays or muffin cups and freezing them. Once frozen transfer to zip-top plastic bags or freezer bags.
