Frequently Asked Questions
Does Thai use ginger?
Yes. Traditional Thai cuisine uses ginger extensively. Ginger is often used in stir-fries and soups, as well as desserts and drinks, such as lassis.
Ginger is native to China, Japan, and Korea, and its origins date back more than 5,000 years. It is believed to have originated from Southeast Asia, where it was cultivated medicinally.
Ginger is known to stimulate digestion and relieve nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger aids in relieving muscle spasms and joint pains. It can also treat arthritis.
Ginger is most commonly used fresh in Thailand. It is then cut into thin strips and dried. In Asian markets, you can purchase ginger root in cans or in jars.
What does Thai spice serve?
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.
It's not just any spice. It's an ingredient that can add flavor and depth in dishes that otherwise would 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.
As far back as ancient times, Thais have been cooking with herbs and spices to add flavor to food and beverages. Thai is the Sanskrit word that means "to cook".
Today, Thais still love spicy food. This preference can often be attributed to Thailand's hot weather, which makes it hard to stay warm without hot beverages. Thais consume more chili peppers than Americans and 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 find whole peppercorns.
Thai cuisine uses both dry and wet spices. Dry spices are usually ground, while wet ones are crushed or pounded finely.
Dry spices are usually added to a dish. A good example is chicken soup with ground red pepper. A paste is made by combining wet spices and oil with butter or butter.
Wet spices are used in dressings, sauces and marinades. The most popular wet spices are fish sauce (oyster sauce), sesame oil, sesame paste, curry paste, and Hoisin sauce.
To make Thai food at your home, it is important to understand which spices are best with particular ingredients.
Red pepper flakes can be used to season beef. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.
If you don’t have access or the means to order from an Asian market, it is possible to order online. You will find everything from dried chilies to exotic herbs and spices here.

Is it possible to add spice to a drink?
I love how spices add flavor to food. But how do you make them come alive when used in drinks?
Spices are excellent because they add incredible depth to any beverage. A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg can make any beverage more delicious, including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and cocktails.
However, most recipes call for ground spice so you will need fresh whole spices. This makes sense, but it is expensive, takes time, and requires storage space.
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.
These powders can be made in two ways. One method involves grinding whole spices into fine powder. Another uses a mortar and pestle to grind the spices into 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 experiment with mixing spices to create different 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've learned how to make powdered spices from scratch, you can apply the same process to herbs. Basil, rosemary, thyme and sage are some of the most popular herbs.
There are many options. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.

How To
How can I store my cooking spices?
This article will show you how to store cooking spice for optimal performance. First, we must understand how food is stored.
Because spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is due to oxidation which occurs when oxygen combines with organic compounds such as those found in spices.
To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept in dark cupboards. Spices will lose their flavour quickly if the conditions aren’t met.
Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.
You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. Mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup warm water. Stir well. Add a squeezed lemon juice and serve immediately.
Add dried herbs and spices to soups. 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.
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.
