Frequently Asked Questions
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 help preserve the spices and prevent oxidation.
Keep spices away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool place. If the spice is placed near a heater or window, it may lose its flavour and aroma.
Spices need to be kept in an airtight glass container or tin. Make sure that there is no moisture in any plastic containers you store spices in.
It is vital to always check the seal after opening, resealing and before storing.
If you have leftover spices, don't throw them away. Instead, use them up by adding them to other dishes. They can be frozen to prolong their shelf-life.
What are the uses of Thai spice?
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 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 discuss how to incorporate these tasty flavors into your meals.
Thais have used herbs and spices since ancient times to enhance food and drink. The name Thai originates from the Sanskrit word for "to cook."
Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference can be attributed to Thailand’s hot weather. It is difficult to stay warm when you don't have something to drink. Thais also consume more chili peppers that Americans or Europeans.
It is a great way to learn more about Thai spices. There are many options available, including dried chilies as well as fresh basil leaves and curry paste.
Whole peppercorns, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise may also be found.
Thai cuisine has two kinds of spices: wet and dry. Dry spices are generally ground, while wet spices can be crushed or pounded finely.
Dry spices can be added to any dish. You can sprinkle ground red pepper on your chicken soup. To make a paste, wet spices are often mixed with butter or oil.
Wet spices can be used in sauces, dressings, and marinades. Fish sauce, oyster sauces, sesame and sesame olive oils, curry paste and hoisin are some of the most common wet spice options.
You need to be able to match certain spices with Thai ingredients if you wish to make Thai food at home.
For example, red pepper flakes is recommended for beef. Use white pepper instead if you have seafood such as shrimp.
You can also order online if your Asian market is not available. This market has everything you need, including dried chilies as well as exotic herbs and spices.
You might want to try these Thai recipes next time you feel hungry.
Can garlic be used in Thai cooking
Garlic is an ingredient used in Thai cuisine. Garlic is commonly added to salads.
Garlic is often fried in Thailand with ginger, shallots, and other spices. Also, you can eat it with sticky white rice.
Chilli paste, salt and lime juice are the most popular ways to eat garlic. This mixture is called Nam Phrik (namphrik). Nam phrik is often served with grilled chicken or beef.
Does Thai use ginger?
The answer is yes. The traditional Thai cooking uses ginger heavily. Ginger is often used to make stir-fries and soups. It is also used in desserts, drinks, such a lassis.
Ginger is a common ginger plant in China, Japan, Korea, and elsewhere. Its origins can be traced back to more than 5,000years ago. It is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, where it was cultivated for medicinal purposes.
Ginger is known for stimulating digestion and relieving nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger is also known to reduce muscle spasms and joint pains as well as treating arthritis.
Ginger is often fresh in Thailand. It is then cut into thin strips and dried. Asian markets sell ginger root in cans and cans.
What are the primary Flavours in Thai cooking?
Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern, Central and Southern Thai food. Each region has its distinctive flavour profile.
Thai food is known for its sweet, salty and sour flavors.
Thais value sweetness as it makes the food more enjoyable. Sweet ingredients such as palm sugar (gula melaka) and coconut milk play a significant role in Thai cuisine.
Thailand is also a popular place for sourness. Hot dishes are often served with sour foods. This helps to balance out the heat.
Thai food is not complete without spicy food. Thai cuisine uses a lot of spices, including galangal ginger root, chilli pepper, and garlic.
Almond Meal vs. Almond Flour: 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.
Although almond flour isn’t considered to be a “superfood”, it is rich in healthy fats and fibre.
The almond meal provides nutritional benefits such as magnesium, iron, zinc and manganese. It also contains vitamin A, B1 (thiamin), C, and folate.
Because it's made from almonds, almond flour contains monounsaturated fatty acids, while almond oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids. Both types lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL(good cholesterol).
Almond flour also contains antioxidants like phenolics and flavonoids. These compounds are effective in preventing oxidative damages caused by free radicals.
A study published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry found that almond flour had antioxidant activity equivalent to that of blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, and red wine grape juice.
Almond flour is commonly sold together with almondmilk, which has additional nutrients.

How To
Do you know how to make curry paste?
Curry paste contains dried chillies and shallots, galangal roots, lemongrass (kaffir lime leaf), garlic, shrimp paste, sugar and salt. It's used extensively in Thai cuisine.
Curry paste is a popular condiment in Southeast Asia. It adds a unique flavour to many dishes, such as curries, soups, stir-fries, salads, rice dishes, noodles, and desserts.
It is easy to make your own at-home recipes! Just follow our step-by-step guide below:
Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- Before you start this recipe, make sure that all ingredients are prepared.
- Begin by peeling and cutting shallots into small pieces (about 2 cups). Cut galangal root in small pieces, about 3 inches long. Set aside.
- Next, you will need to peel and slice the garlic cloves (about 4 cloves). Lemongrass stems about 1/2 inch thick should be removed and finely chopped.
- Then, crush dried red chilli peppers (about four tablespoons) and remove the seeds (optional).
- Next, slice the kaffir lime leaves in thin strips of about 5 inches. Take out the white part and place it in a bowl.
- Next, drain and wash the shrimp paste (6 ounces), and then coarsely mashing it.
- Last, take out the salt and sugar.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients
- Blend all ingredients together until smooth.
- It should have a texture similar to peanut butter.
- Take note: If you are looking to reduce oil in your dish you can add water to the mix.
Step3 - Add Coconut Milk
- Add coconut milk to the mixture, and mix well.
- Add coconut milk slowly so that the paste does not become too sticky.
- If you prefer less spicy, add fewer chillies and more galangal root.
- For a more spicy taste, increase the amount of chillies and reduce the use of galangal root. The final result should taste good to you.
Step4 - Serve
- Top it with your favorite foods.
- Enjoy!
