Frequently Asked Questions

What Thai spice should I use to cook Thai food in my own kitchen?

In order to cook authentic Thai food at home you will need five spices: black pepper (cayenne), coriander seeds (coriander seeds), turmeric and cinnamon. Each ingredient is unique and plays an integral role in the creation of delicious dishes.

Black pepper adds savoury flavours, while cinnamon adds sweetness. Coriander seeds add a spicy kick, while turmeric gives curry powder its signature yellow colour. Cayenne peppers provide heat and cilantro provides 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.

How to Store Spices

Keep them away from heat and light.

You can store them for long periods in a dark cupboard. This will keep the spices fresh and prevent any oxidation.

Your spices should be kept in cool and dry areas, away from direct sunlight. A heater or window can cause the spice to lose its aroma and flavour.

Spices are best stored in an airtight glass jar or tin. Make sure that there is no moisture in any plastic containers you store spices in.

After opening the seal, make sure to inspect it again. Humidity can cause spoilage.

Don't throw out any spice leftovers. Make sure to use leftover spices in other recipes. To extend their shelf life, you can freeze them.

How To

How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms

So, the shiitakes are growing well. There is nothing wrong with them. But how do we cut them without cutting ourselves? We have tried everything, even using scissors. But they keep slipping out of our hands. What's going on here?

Well, there's a trick for that. Place a rubber band on the stem of the mushroom and twist it tight. By doing this, you won’t slip and get cut.

You may be thinking that this seems too easy. It is. But it's also very powerful.

The rubber band makes it slippery so that it feels natural when you pick up the stem. It doesn't hurt to keep the stem in place.

You can now try it. You'll be amazed how easy it is to cut mushrooms.
