Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Thai use for mint?
Thai cuisine's most used type is lime-leaf, or Mentha cervina.
It has a mild, lemony flavour that adds freshness and zing to dishes. Thai dishes often include other spices such as galangal (lemongrass), garlic, and coriander.
Mint is a versatile herb and can be used in both sweet and savoury recipes. You can create authentic Thai flavours by choosing the right herbs, spices, and aromatics.
For extra flavor, make sure to add lime-leaf mint next time you prepare a Thai meal!
Happy cooking!
What is the most popular ingredient in Thai cooking?
In Thailand, two main ingredients make up the heart of all dishes: rice and curry. These two elements combine to create a memorable flavor.
In Thailand, we call this combination "Khao Pad Krai," which means 'the best dish.' This is because when these two basic foods are combined into a single dish, they become incredibly delicious and irresistible.
The same applies to life. It is possible to achieve great success by combining the two key ingredients of hard work, perseverance, and determination.
Combining passion and purpose, as Khao Pad Krai has shown, can help you succeed. You'll create something amazing if you combine them.
If you find yourself craving Thai food, keep in mind that Thai food is more than rice and curry. You'll be amazed at how much fun you can have experimenting with different ingredients!
How to Store Spices
Keep them away from heat and light.
For longer storage, store spices in a dark cabinet. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.
Store your spices in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. The spice may lose flavour and aroma if placed near a window or heater.
Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.
It is vital to always check the seal after opening, resealing and before storing.
If you have leftover spices, don't throw them away. You can make use of them by adding them to your favorite dishes. You can even freeze them to extend their shelf life.

How To
How do you decide which spices to purchase?
To cook, you'll need to know how to choose the right herbs and spices for your recipes. There are hundreds to choose from, so where should you start when choosing the right ones for your pantry?
Three main factors should be considered when selecting spices: price, shelf life and flavour profile. You can choose to use different flavour profiles depending on whether your cooking involves meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and pasta. Once you have chosen a category, you can narrow down your choices by taking into account these differences.
The shelf life of spices can also vary. Some spices can last forever while others go bad quickly. For example, cayenne pepper is good for years and oregano lasts only two months. The price is another factor. Prices for spices range from $1 per teaspoon to more than $100 an ounce. This means you need to balance quality and price.
Also, consider whether organic or not organic ingredients. Organic products contain fewer chemicals and pesticides than conventional alternatives, making them better for your health and the environment. But they can often be more expensive so make sure you weigh the benefits against their costs.
Online shopping is the best way for you to make sure that you have the right spices in your kitchen. Online retailers provide comprehensive information on every product, including pricing, reviews and ratings.
Once you have narrowed down your choices, you can place an online order with the retailer. You should store your items in airtight containers, away from heat and sunlight once you receive them.
