Frequently Asked Questions
What purpose is Thai spice used?
The term Thai spice is a common phrase that we've heard a lot, but don't really know what it means. But when we discover our mouths water, we wonder why we haven't been eating more of it.
It's more than just a spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.
Although there are many recipes that call for Thai spices in large numbers, very few recipes actually use the true thing. Let's learn how to include these delicious flavors in your meals.
Thais have used herbs and spices since ancient times to enhance food and drink. Thai is the Sanskrit word that means "to cook".
Today, Thais still love spicy food. This preference is often due to the heat in Thailand which makes it difficult for people to stay warm without hot drinks. Additionally, Thais consume much more chili peppers than Europeans or Americans.
A local Asian grocery store is the best place to learn more about Thai spice. There will be a large selection of ingredients available including dried chilies (fresh basil leaves), curry paste, ground black pepper, and curry paste.
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 offers two types of spices: dry and moist. 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, you can sprinkle ground red pepper onto your 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, red pepper flakes is recommended for beef. Use white pepper instead if you have seafood such as shrimp.
Finally, you can always order online if you don't have access to a good quality Asian market. This market has everything you need, including dried chilies as well as exotic herbs and spices.

How to Store Your Spices?
Keep them out of the sun and heat.
To store spices for longer periods of time, place them in a dark cupboard. This will help preserve the spices and prevent oxidation.
Store your spices in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. If the spice is placed near a heater or window, it may lose its flavour and aroma.
Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.
After opening the seal, make sure to inspect it again. Humidity can cause spoilage.
Do not throw away any spices that you have left over. You can make use of them by adding them to your favorite dishes. You can even freeze them to extend their shelf life.
Can you add spice into a drink
I love how spices add flavor to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?
Spices are great because they bring out the best in any beverage. A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg can make any beverage more delicious, including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and cocktails.
Most recipes require ground spices. You will need to use fresh whole spices. This makes sense, but it is expensive, takes time, and requires storage space.
Here's where the 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.
There are two methods to make these powders. A second method is to grind whole spices into 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. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.
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 skilled in the production of powdered spices, it is possible to apply that technique to herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.
There are many options. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.

How To
How To Make A Garlic Press?
A garlic press is one of the most valuable tools in any home cook's arsenal. This allows you to quickly mince garlic and make smooth sauces, soups, and salad dressings. It's also great for crushing whole garlic cloves into a buttery spread or garlic salt.
But if you don't own a garlic press yet, you might wonder where to start with one. We have some tips to help get you started.
First things first: you'll need a large bowl. Place the bowl under the pressure regulator and pour the crushed garlic inside. Now adjust the pressure regulator to the maximum.
Next, turn the handle clockwise until you hear a click. The top end of the press should lift and reveal a flat area that allows you to slide your blade back and forth across the bowl. Continue to turn the handle counterclockwise, until the blades are closed.
Finally, take out the pressed ginger and enjoy!
Here are other ways you can make use of this versatile tool.
- Add minced garlic to soups, sauces, salads, and dips (or even as a seasoning)
- Use the press for whole garlic cloves to make a buttery spread
- Before baking, crush whole cloves of garlic on pizza dough
- Roasted garlic can be incorporated into creamy polenta or mashed potatoes.
- Use the press to make homemade pesto out of garlic
- Blend the garlic into a smooth vinegar dressing
