Frequently Asked Questions

What are the principal Flavours in Thai Cuisine?

Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern and Central Thai cuisines, as well as Southern, Eastern, Western, Eastern, Western, Northeastern Thai food. Each region has its distinctive flavour profile.

Thai food contains many flavors.

Thais consider sweetness essential because it makes dishes taste good. 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 paired with sour foods. This combination balances out the heat.

Thai food also includes spicy food. Thai dishes often use spices such as chili pepper, galangal or ginger root.

Is Thai cooking made with garlic?

Thai cuisine makes use of garlic. Garlic is commonly added to salads.

Garlic is often fried in Thailand with ginger, shallots, and other spices. Additionally, garlic is often eaten with sticky Rice.

The most common way to eat garlic is to chop it finely and mix it with chilli paste, salt, fish sauce, lime juice, and oil. This mixture is called "Nam Phrik" (namphrik). Nam phrik often comes with grilled chicken breast or beef.

Can you put spice in a drink?

I love spices adding flavour to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?

Spices are great because they bring out the best in any beverage. You can add a little cinnamon or nutmeg to any glass of wine, beer or coffee.

However, most recipes call for ground spice so you will need fresh 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 to a fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.

Whatever method you choose to use, you will find that powders are much easier than whole spices. You won't run short of powder, and it keeps well.

You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.

Once you've mastered making powdered spices, you can apply the same technique to herbs. You can use basil, rosemary and thyme as common herbs.

The possibilities are endless. Use powdered spices to give your beverages extra flavour or to enhance the taste of dishes such as soups, salads, and pasta.

Almond Flour or Almond Meal? What is the difference?

Almond meal can be substituted for almond flour and is versatile enough to be used in baking, cooking and even making nut-free meals.

Almond flour could also contain gluten making it difficult for some people to digest. Avoid gluten-free food if you have celiac disease, or any other digestive disorder.

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.

Almond flour is made of almonds. Almond oil is made from polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, fatty oils. Both types help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.

Almond flour is high in antioxidants including phenolics, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins. These compounds protect against free radical-induced oxidative harm.

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 milk is often sold with almond flour, which has been fortified with additional nutrients.

What is the most famous ingredient in Thai cooking?

Two main ingredients are the heart of Thai cuisine: curry and rice. 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.

This is true for all aspects of life. Combining hard work and perseverance can lead to great success.

You can achieve success, just like Khao Pad Krai. Passion and purpose are the key ingredients. When you combine these ingredients, you can create something remarkable.

Next time you feel like eating Thai food, remember that it takes more than just rice and curry to make a memorable meal. You'll be amazed at how much fun you can have experimenting with different ingredients!

What is the difference in curry and curried?

It doesn't matter how the spelling is written. Both terms refer to the exact same thing: An Indian dish that combines meat and vegetables with different seasonings.

Curry comes from the Hindi word kari meaning "to rub." This term refers to how the spice mixture is rubbed onto the food. Curried foods are typically cooked until browned.

Curried dishes are no longer reserved for special occasions. They're now commonplace in India. They include chicken, beef and lamb as well as fish, vegetables and rice.

Plain white rice is usually served with curried dishes. The most common accompaniments are raita (a yogurt paste) and chutney.

What spices are used for Thai cooking?

Thai cuisine is well known for its diverse flavour profiles. These flavours come from unique and flavorful spices that create various delicious dishes.

Common ingredients used in Thai cooking include lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, chillies, garlic, shrimp paste, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and more.

Each spice adds to Thai cuisine's distinct flavour profile. In Thai cuisine, lemongrass is commonly used in soups and stews. Galangal provides a subtle peppery flavour to dishes. Kaffir lime leaves add a zesty, citrusy fragrance to dishes. Chillies give dishes a spicy kick. Shrimp paste enhances the umami flavor of dishes. Coriander gives off a light, yet fragrant aroma. Cumin adds to dishes a rich, smokey aroma. Turmeric gives dishes a vibrant, yellow hue.

These spices work together to create unique flavour profiles for Thai cuisine. By using a combination of spices, chefs can create dishes that are both flavorful and aromatic. Get these spices to bring Thailand's flavors into your home.

How To

How to Make A Garlic Press

A garlic press is a valuable tool in every home cook's kitchen. It makes it easy to mince garlic into a paste, puree it into soups or salad dressings, or even make a sauce. It is also useful for crushing whole cloves of garlic into buttery spreads and garlic salt.

But if you don't own a garlic press yet, you might wonder where to start with one. These tips will help you get started.

First, you need a large dish. Place the bowl under the pressure regulator and pour the crushed garlic inside. Now, set the pressure regulator valve to the maximum.

Next, turn the handle counterclockwise until you hear a click. The top part of the press should lift off and reveal a flat surface that will allow you to slide the blade back and forth over the bowl. Continue turning the handle in a clockwise direction until the blades come to a close.

Finally, take out the pressed ginger and enjoy!

These are just a few of the many ways you can use this versatile tool.

• Add minced garlic to soups, sauces, salads, and dips (or even as a seasoning)
• You can crush whole garlic cloves using the press to make a buttery spread
• Put whole garlic cloves on top of pizza dough, before you bake
• Roasted garlic can be incorporated into creamy polenta or mashed potatoes.
• Make pesto with garlic mashed in the press
• Puree garlic into a smooth vinaigrette
