Frequently Asked Questions
What does Thai spice serve?
Everyone has heard the term Thai spice, but not all know what it is. But once we start to feel the heat in our mouths, we wonder why it hasn't been eaten more.
It's more than just a spice. It's an essential ingredient, which adds depth and flavor to dishes otherwise bland.
While there are thousands of Thai-inspired recipes out there, few of them contain the real thing. Let's talk about how to make sure you add these amazing flavors to your meals.
Thais have been cooking with herbs, spices and other flavors since ancient times. Thai comes from the Sanskrit term for "to prepare".
Thais are still fond of spicy foods. This preference can be attributed to Thailand’s hot weather. It is difficult to stay warm when you don't have something to drink. Additionally, Thais consume much more chili peppers than Europeans or Americans.
It is a great way to learn more about Thai spices. There, you'll find a wide variety of ingredients, including dried chilies, fresh basil leaves, curry paste, and even ground black pepper.
You may also come across whole peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cardamom pods, ginger root, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, nutmeg, mace, mustard seed, saffron threads, garlic, onion, rice vinegar and tamarind juice.
Thai cuisine offers two types of spices: dry and moist. Dry spices are generally ground, while wet spices can be crushed or pounded finely.
Dry spices are typically added directly to a dish. You can sprinkle ground red pepper on your chicken soup. In order to make a paste out of wet spices, oil or butter is often used.
Wet spices are used in dressings, sauces and marinades. The most popular wet spices are fish sauce (oyster sauce), sesame oil, sesame paste, curry paste, and Hoisin sauce.
If you want to try making Thai dishes at home, you need to know which spices go well with certain 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 have access or the means to order from an Asian market, it is possible to order online. Here you will find everything, from dried chilies and exotic herbs to spices.
You might want to try these Thai recipes next time you feel hungry.
Is Thai cooking made with garlic?
Thai cuisine makes use of garlic. Garlic is often added to dishes such as salads, soups, stir-fries, curries, sauces, and rice.
Thai garlic is fried in a mixture of shallots and ginger. Also, you can eat it with sticky white 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 is "Nam Phrik" or "namphrik". Nam phrik can be served with grilled chicken and beef.
What is the importance and purpose of spices?
Spices are seasonings that enhance the flavour of food. There are many types of spices, including powders, liquids and oils. They are also known for their versatility and ability to be used as flavours and condiments.
It's a great way of adding variety to your meals by spiceing them up. You can spice up dishes with many different spices for more flavor 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. Or perhaps you could mix a handful of cayenne peppers with a cup of rice.
Fresh ingredients are best for experimenting with spicing. Organic herbs are better than dried herbs. Fresh herbs will last longer than dried.
There are certain spices that are essential for cooking. But there are also some you might want to avoid. Cinnamon sticks have high levels of coumarin. They should not be consumed if you have had liver disease in the past. Ginger also has coumarin, although it's less concentrated. People who do not have any liver problems are safe.
Can you put spice in a drink?
I love spices adding flavour to food. How can you make spices come to life when they are used in drinks?
Spices are excellent because they add incredible depth to any beverage. From coffee to tea, hot chocolate to cocktails, there's nothing more satisfying than adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to a glass of wine or beer.
Most recipes require ground spices. You will need to use fresh whole spices. Although this is logical, it can be costly, time-consuming, and takes up storage space.
That's where the magic happens. With your creativity, you can turn your favorite spices into easy-to-use powdered products. To make tasty spiced drinks, you can combine them with your favourite beverages.
There are two ways to go about creating these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices into fine powder. Another method is to use a mortar & pestle to grind the spices until they are finely ground.
It doesn't matter what method you choose, the result is easier to measure out than whole spices and easier to store. You won't run short of powder, and it keeps well.
Mixing different spices can create new flavors. Peppermint and spearmint can be combined to make minty water. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.
Once you are skilled in the production of powdered spices, it is possible to apply that technique to herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.
There are many options. Powdered spices can enhance the flavor and texture of beverages, such as soups or salads, as well as the taste of pasta.
What are the 11 Indian spice blends?
Coriander seeds and cumin seeds are the eleven main spices in Indian cuisine.
These ingredients are used in almost every dish. These spices are used in almost every dish, including curries, curries, chutneys (pickles), rice, bread and sweets.
Also, spices have many health benefits. Curcuma helps fight cancer cells. Bad breath is protected by cloves. Black pepper lowers cholesterol. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.
The spice rack is an excellent kitchen tool as it allows you to experiment and create new combinations of flavors. You can mix your own spices or purchase ready-made spice mixes that include many essential spices.
Some people don't like spices. These people believe spices are a masking agent and do not enhance natural flavors. However, it is possible to enhance the taste of your meals by adding a little salt or pepper.
Most chefs agree that spices are an essential part of cooking art. Many dishes would lack flavor and be boring without them. You might be inspired to try something new next time you feel adventurous.

How To
Are you a master of making curry paste?
Curry paste contains dried chillies and shallots, galangal roots, lemongrass (kaffir lime leaf), garlic, shrimp paste, sugar and salt. It is widely used in Thai cuisine.
Curry paste is one of the most popular condiments in Southeast Asia. It adds a unique flavour to many dishes, such as curries, soups, stir-fries, salads, rice dishes, noodles, and desserts.
It is very easy to make it at home. Follow our step-bystep guide below.
Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- Before you start making this recipe, prepare all ingredients.
- Start by peeling and chopping shallots (about 2 cups). Next, cut galangal root into small chunks (about 3 inches) and put aside.
- Next, you will need to peel and slice the garlic cloves (about 4 cloves). Peel and finely mince lemongrass stems (about 1/2 inch thick).
- After that, you will need to crush dried red chili peppers (about four tablespoons) before removing the seeds (optional).
- Next, slice the kaffir lime leaves in thin strips of about 5 inches. Remove the white part of the stem and set it aside.
- After that, wash and drain shrimp paste (about 6 ounces), then coarsely mash it.
- Measure out the sugar and salt.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients

Step4 - Serve
- Serve with your favourite foods.
- Enjoy!
