Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main spices, condiments, seasonings and herbs used in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine is a mixture of Asian influences. Its roots are in India and China as well as Southeast Asia.
Freshness is the most important ingredient in Thai food. Ingredients that are quickly cooked and picked at the right time will have more flavour. This is why meats and fish, as well as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and grains, are often eaten raw and served warm.
Spices and sauces add complexity and fragrance to dishes. Fresh basil, cilantro, mint, coriander (cilantro), lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, garlic, chillies, chilli paste, soy sauce, tamarind juice, oyster sauce, palm sugar, coconut milk, lime leaves, galangal root, curry powder, shrimp paste, fish sauce, tamarind water, rice vinegar, etc. are commonly used.
Almond Meal vs. Almond Flour: What's the Difference?
An almond meal, which can be used as an almond flour substitute, is more versatile than other almond flours because it can be used for baking and cooking, as well as making nut free dishes.
Almond flour can also be gluten-containing, which can make it difficult to digest. It is important to avoid gluten-free products if you have celiac or other digestive disorders.
While almond flour isn't considered a "superfood" per se, it contains healthy fats, fibre, protein, and vitamin E. It's also low in calories and sodium and contains 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.
Almond flour is made from almonds and contains monounsaturated fat acids. Almond oil, however, contains polyunsaturated oils. Both help to lower LDL (bad), and increase HDL levels.
Almond flour is high in antioxidants including phenolics, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds help to prevent oxidative damage from free radicals.
An experiment published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry showed that almond flour has an equivalent antioxidant activity to that of blueberries.
Almond flour is commonly sold together with almondmilk, which has additional nutrients.
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 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 from Southeast Asia, where it was cultivated medicinally.
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 most commonly used fresh in Thailand. Ginger root is first cut into thin strips before drying and stored. Ginger root can be purchased in cans or jars at Asian markets.

Is garlic used in Thai cooking?
Garlic is an ingredient used in Thai cuisine. Garlic is used often in Thai cuisine, such as soups, stir fries, curries, sauces, and salads.
Garlic is often fried in Thailand with ginger, shallots, and other spices. Also, you can eat it with sticky white rice.
It is common to mince garlic and then mix it with chili paste, salt, fish sauce and lime juice. This mixture is known as Nam Phrik (namphrik). Nam phrik is often accompanied by grilled chicken or beef.
Can you spice up a drink?
I love how spices add flavor to food. But how do you make spices liven up when they are added to drinks?
Spices are great because they bring out the best in any beverage. There's nothing better than adding cinnamon or nutmeg in your glass of wine or beer, whether it's coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or cocktails.
But, since most recipes call to ground spices, you'll need whole spices. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.
This is where magic happens. It's possible to transform your favorite spices into a powdered form that is easy to use with a bit of creativity. Then you can mix them into your favourite beverages to create delicious spiced drinks.
These powders can be made in two ways. One method involves grinding whole spices into fine powder. Another way is to grind the spices in a mortar and pestle.
Whatever method you choose to use, you will find that powders are much easier than whole spices. Powder also keeps well so you won't run dry.
Mixing different spices can create new flavors. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. You can also make spicy ginger-ginger tea by combining ginger and cardamom seeds.
Once you've mastered making powdered spices, you can apply the same technique to herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.
The possibilities are limitless. Use powdered spices to give your beverages extra flavour or to enhance the taste of dishes such as soups, salads, and pasta.
What's the importance of spices in your life?
A spice is a seasoning that is used to enhance the flavor of food. There are many types of spices, including powders, liquids and oils. They are also called condiments and flavours.
It's a great way of adding variety to your meals by spiceing them up. Numerous spices can be added to dishes for extra flavour and excitement.
You may find that adding a few drops of hot pepper sauce to a bowl of soup will make it taste more delicious. Mixing a couple of cayenne peppers in a cup rice can make it even more delicious.
You can experiment with spice recipes best if you use fresh ingredients. When you are buying dried herbs, make sure they are organic. Fresh herbs keep longer than dried ones.
Some spices are essential to cooking; however, there are some that you might prefer to avoid. Cinnamon sticks are high in coumarin so you should avoid them if your liver has been affected. Ginger also contains high amounts of coumarin. However, it is much more concentrated. It is safe for those who have not had liver problems in the past.

How To
How to store cooking spice?
I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, let's understand how foods are stored.
Because spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is due to oxygen combining with organic compounds, such as spices.
Spices should be kept in the dark cupboards and sealed tightly in airtight containers to prevent oxidation. These conditions can cause spices to quickly lose their flavor.
You can preserve the flavor of spices by keeping them in sealed jars, away from direct sunlight.
To make flavoured drinks, you can add herbs or spices to water. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Add a squeeze or lemon juice to the mixture and serve immediately.
Add dried herbs and spices to soups. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.
Remaining cooked vegetables, fruit and meats can be used in your favorite recipes to make snacks.
You can enjoy the fresh flavours of fresh herbs or spices by chopping them up and adding them to food while they are still hot. It is also possible to freeze herbs and spices in muffin cups or ice cube trays. Once frozen transfer to zip-top plastic bags or freezer bags.
