Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most important flavours in Thai cuisine?
Thai cuisine includes several distinct regional cuisines. These include Northern, Central, Southern, Eastern, Western, and Northeastern Thai food. Each region has its unique flavour profile.
Thai food is known for its sweet, salty and sour flavors.
Thais love sweetness because it makes their dishes more delicious. Thai cuisine has a lot of sweet ingredients such as coconut milk and palm sugar (gula Melaka).
Thailand is also known for its sourness. Hot dishes can often be paired with sour foods. This combination helps balance out the heat.
Thai food is not complete without spicy food. Thai cuisine is rich in spices like galangal, ginger root and chilli pepper.
What does Thai spice serve?
The term Thai spice is a common phrase that we've heard a lot, but don't really know what it means. It makes our mouths water when we try it.
But it isn't just any old spice. It's an essential ingredient, which adds depth and flavor to dishes otherwise bland.
Although there are many recipes that call for Thai spices in large numbers, very few recipes actually use the true thing. Let's discuss how to incorporate these tasty flavors into your meals.
Thais have been using herbs and spices in their cooking since antiquity to add flavor to food. Thai comes from the Sanskrit term for "to prepare".
Even today, most Thais prefer to eat spicy foods. This preference is often explained by the hot climate in Thailand that makes it difficult to stay warm while drinking hot drinks. Thais also consume more chili peppers that Americans or Europeans.
The best way to learn about Thai spices is to visit a local Asian grocery store. There, you'll find a wide variety of ingredients, including dried chilies, fresh basil leaves, curry paste, and even ground black pepper.
You might also find whole peppercorns and cloves as well as cinnamon sticks, star anise pods (star anise), cardamom pods ginger root, cumin seeds coriander seeds seeds, fennel seed, nutmeg mace, mustard seeds, saffron threads garlic, onion, rice vinegar, and tamarind juice.
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 can be added to any dish. Ground red pepper can be sprinkled on chicken soup, for example. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.
Wet spices are usually used in marinades, sauces, and dressings. Common wet spices include oyster sauce, fish sauce and sesame oils, curry paste, hoisin sauce, and sesame seed oil.
Thai cuisine can be made at home by learning which spices work well with specific ingredients.
Red pepper flakes should be used if you're using beef. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.
If you don't live near an Asian market, you can order online. Here you will find everything, from dried chilies and exotic herbs to spices.

What Thai spice should I use to cook Thai food in my own kitchen?
In order to cook authentic Thai food at home you will need five spices: black pepper (cayenne), coriander seeds (coriander seeds), turmeric and cinnamon. Each of these ingredients has its distinct flavour profile and plays a vital role in creating delicious dishes.
Cinnamon provides sweetness while black pepper enhances the flavours. Coriander seeds add a spicy kick, while turmeric gives curry powder its signature yellow colour. Cayenne peppers are hot, and cilantro adds freshness. Finally, cinnamon adds depth and complexity to any dish.
These spices are available at most grocery stores. However, if you prefer to order them online, we have recommendations.
