Frequently Asked Questions

What are the uses of Thai spice?

We all have heard the term Thai spices, but we don't understand what it really means. It makes our mouths water when we try it.

It's more than just a spice. It's an essential ingredient, which adds depth and flavor to dishes otherwise bland.

Although there are many recipes that call for Thai spices in large numbers, very few recipes actually use the true thing. 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".

Thais are still fond of 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 per capita than Americans and Europeans.

Visit a local Asian grocery shop to find out more about Thai spices. There you will find a variety of ingredients such as dried chilies fresh basil leaves curry paste and ground black pepper.

Also, you may find whole peppercorns.

Thai cuisine can use either dry or wet spices. Dry spices are generally ground, while wet spices can be crushed or pounded finely.

Dry spices are added directly to a dish. Ground red pepper can be sprinkled on chicken soup, for example. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.

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

If you want to try making Thai dishes at home, you need to know which spices go well with certain 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.

You can also order online if your Asian market is not available. Here you will find everything, from dried chilies and exotic herbs to spices.

What are the 11 Indian spices used in Indian cooking

Indian cuisine includes eleven spices, including cumin, coriander, cumin, mustard, fennel, and nigella seed, as well as black pepper, cloves and cinnamon sticks, dry red chill powder, turmeric, cardamom, and black pepper.

These spices are found in nearly every dish. These spices impart a distinct flavor to dishes such as curries (lentils), curries and chutneys. They also add a unique taste to rice, bread, and sweets.

Also, spices have many health benefits. For example, turmeric helps fight cancer cells. Bad breath is protected by cloves. Black pepper lowers cholesterol. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.

A spice rack is a fantastic kitchen tool that allows you experiment with different combinations. You can either make your own spice blends or purchase ready-made spices.

Some people don't like spices. They believe that spices only mask natural flavors and do nothing to improve them. A pinch of salt and pepper can enhance the flavor of your food.

Most chefs agree that spices are a vital part of culinary art. Without them, many dishes would be bland and tasteless. You might be inspired to try something new next time you feel adventurous.

Does Thai use ginger?

The answer is yes. The traditional Thai cooking uses ginger heavily. It is often added to stir-fries and soups and is also commonly used in desserts and drinks such as lassis.

Ginger is an indigenous plant of China, Japan and Korea. Its roots date back more that 5,000 years. It is believed it originated in Southeast Asia. There, it was used for medicinal purposes.

Ginger has been shown to reduce nausea and stimulate digestion. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger is also known to reduce muscle spasms and joint pains as well as treating arthritis.

Ginger is most often fresh in Thailand. The ginger root is cut into thin strips, dried and stored in a sealed container for future use. From Asian markets, ginger root can be bought in cans and jars.

Which Thai spice do I need to cook Thai food at home?

You will need to know five key spices in order to make authentic Thai food at your home: cayenne pepper, coriander seeds and turmeric. 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. Coriander seeds give curry powder its distinctive yellow colour, while turmeric adds a spicy kick. Cayenne peppers add heat, while cilantro brings out the freshness. A final ingredient is cinnamon, which adds depth and complexity.

You can find each of these spices at your local grocery store, but if you'd instead buy them online, here are our recommendations for where to shop.

Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal: What's the Difference?

A almond meal is a versatile almond flour alternative that can be used to bake, cook, or even make nut-free dishes.

Almond flour can also be gluten-containing, which can make it difficult to digest. If you have celiac disease or another digestive disorder, it's essential to avoid gluten-free foods.

Almond flour isn’t considered a superfood per se but it does contain healthy fats, fibre and protein and no cholesterol.

The nutritional benefits of the almond meal include magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and vitamins A, B1 (thiamin), and C. In addition, it provides 25 percent of the daily value for folate, 20 percent for niacin, 15 percent for pantothenic acid, and 5 percent for riboflavin.

Because it's made from almonds, almond flour contains monounsaturated fatty acids, while almond oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids. Both can lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol.

In addition, almond flour is rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids, phenolics, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds prevent free radical-induced oxidative stress.

An experiment published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry showed that almond flour has an equivalent antioxidant activity to that of blueberries.

Almond milk is often sold with almond flour, which has been fortified with additional nutrients.

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

There is no difference in cooking with whole spices and cooked with ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. So there is no difference in quality.

However, the price difference is substantial. Whole spices are more expensive because of the labor required to process them. However, the flavor is worth it.

If you purchase whole spices in bulk, you might get an additional discount. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.

It is the same for cardamom and cloves as well as ginger, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.

Ground spices last much longer than whole spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.

However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.

For instance, you can make a delicious curry with whole turmeric instead of ground turmeric. You can also grind whole coriander leaves to make a spice mix for chicken dishes.

Grinding spices takes time. It makes sense to purchase large quantities of whole spices when you are buying them. So you don't run short of spices.

How To

How to Make a Garlic Press

A garlic press is an essential tool for any home cook. You can quickly mince garlic or make a paste. It is great for crushing whole garlic cloves in a buttery spread, or garlic salt.

However, if you don’t already have a garlic pressing machine, you might wonder how to get 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. Set the pressure regulator valve at the maximum setting.

Next, move the handle clockwise so that you hear a click. The top of the press should lift up and expose a flat surface. This will allow you slide the blade back-and-forth over 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.

• You can add minced garlic to soups and sauces, salads, dips, or as a seasoning.
• Use the press for whole garlic cloves to make a buttery spread
• Put whole garlic cloves on top of pizza dough, before you bake
• Combine roasted garlic with mashed potatoes and creamy polenta
• Use the press to make homemade pesto out of garlic
• Blend the garlic into a smooth vinegar dressing
