What is Thai spice used for?

It's a term we all have heard, even though we don't know what it actually means. We are left wondering why we don't eat more Thai spice when our mouths water.

Thais have used herbs and spices since ancient times to enhance food and drink. Thai is the Sanskrit word that means "to cook".

Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference can often be attributed to Thailand's hot weather, which makes it hard to stay warm without hot beverages. Thais also consume more chili peppers that Americans or Europeans.

Thai cuisine uses both dry and wet spices. The dry spices are usually ground while the wet spices are crushed or pounded finely.

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

Wet spices are used in dressings, sauces 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, if you are using beef, you should use red pepper flakes. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.

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.

So next time you get hungry, think about putting on a little extra heat by whipping up one of these tasty Thai recipes!
