What are the Primary Flavours In Thai Cooking?

Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. There are five main types of Thai cuisine: Northern, Central, Southern and Eastern. Each region has its own unique flavour profile.

The most common flavours in Thai food are sweet, salty, sour, spicy, bitter, pungent, and nutty.

Thais love sweetness because it makes their dishes more delicious. Sweet ingredients such as palm sugar (gula melaka) and coconut milk play a significant role in Thai cuisine.

Thailand is also known for its sourness. Hot dishes are often served with sour foods. This helps to balance the heat.

How To

How can I store my cooking spices?

I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, it is important to understand the science behind how foodstuffs are stored.

Spices are stored in airtight containers away from the light because exposure to light diminishes their flavour. This is caused by oxidation, which happens when oxygen and organic compounds combine like spices.

To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.

The best way to preserve the flavour of spices is to keep them in airtight jars away from direct sunlight.

You can flavor water by adding herbs and spices. For example, you could mix 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon in 1/2 cup of warm milk and stir it well. Add a squeezed lemon juice and serve immediately.

Dried herbs and spices can be added to soups and stews, casseroles and rice dishes. Just sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the dish. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before you serve.

Leftover cooked vegetables, fruits and meats, as well as leftover cheese, breads, crackers, cookies or cakes can be added to favorite recipes for snacks.

To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Transfer frozen items to zip-top or freezer bags.
