Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary Flavours in Thai cooking?
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.
The most common flavours in Thai food are sweet, salty, sour, spicy, bitter, pungent, and nutty.
Sweetness is essential for Thais because it makes the dishes palatable. Thai cuisine includes sweet ingredients like palm sugar (gulamelaka) or coconut milk.
Thailand is also a popular place for sourness. Hot dishes are often paired with sour foods. This helps to balance the heat.
Thai food includes spicy food. Thai cuisine is rich in spices like galangal, ginger root and chilli pepper.
Does Thai use ginger?
Yes. Traditional Thai cooking makes extensive use of ginger. Ginger is used extensively in Thai traditional cooking. It's often added to soups and stir-fries, and it's also common in desserts and drinks like lassis.
Ginger is native to China, Japan, and Korea, and its origins date back more than 5,000 years. It is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, where it was cultivated for medicinal purposes.
Ginger has been shown to reduce nausea and stimulate digestion. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger also helps to relieve muscle spasms, reduce joint pain, and treat arthritis.
Ginger is most commonly used fresh in Thailand. It is then cut into thin strips and dried. In Asian markets, you can purchase ginger root in cans or in jars.
What Spices or Herbs Go Best With Potatoes?
A potato is a great side dish for almost any meat. You might have been cooking potatoes for a while and know that there are other ways to prepare them.
These versatile veggies can be used as a side dish in many dishes. Not only are potatoes great with spices, but so are many herbs and other seasonings.
These delicious recipes will spice up your next potato recipe.
What is the difference between curried curry and curried curry?
The spellings are the same. Both terms refer to the exact same thing: An Indian dish that combines meat and vegetables with different seasonings.
Curry is derived from the Hindi word kari, which means "to rub". This refers to the way the spice mixture is applied to the food. Curry foods are usually cooked until golden brown.
Although curried dishes used to be reserved for special occasions, today they are enjoyed all over India. They can be made with chicken, beef or lamb and include vegetables as well.
Curried dishes can be served alongside plain white or brown rice. The most common accompaniments are raita (a yogurt paste) and chutney.
What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?
There are no significant differences in the cooking of whole and ground spices. After harvesting, spices are ground. The quality is the same.
However, this price differential is quite significant. Whole spices are more expensive due to the labour required for processing them. However, the flavor is worth it.
If you purchase whole spices in bulk, you might get an additional discount. An example: If you buy an entire bag full of cinnamon sticks, you might get a discount.
This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. You may be able save money if you buy these spices in bulk.
Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.
We recommend buying whole spices because they add flavor to your recipes.
A delicious curry can be made with whole turmeric as opposed to ground turmeric. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.
The process of grinding spices takes a lot of time. A large amount of whole spices is a good idea. You won't run low on spices if you buy large quantities.
What are the spices, condiments and seasonings Thailand uses in its dishes?
Thai cuisine is an amalgamation of influences from across Asia. Its roots are in India and China as well as Southeast Asia.
The essential ingredient of Thai food is freshness. There is much more flavour when ingredients are picked early and cooked quickly. This is why meats, fish, vegetables and fruits are often eaten raw and hot.
Spices and sauces enhance the flavor and complexity of 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 used frequently.

How To
How to store spices for cooking?
I will tell you how to store cooking spices for optimal performance. First, it is important to understand the science behind how foodstuffs are stored.
Because spice's flavour is diminished by light exposure, it should be stored in airtight containers. This is due to oxidation which occurs when oxygen combines with organic compounds such as those found in spices.
To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept in dark cupboards. Spice tends to lose its flavour quickly if these conditions aren't met.
Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.
To create a flavorful drink, you can add spices and herbs to water. Mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup warm water. Stir well. Add a squeezed lemon juice and serve immediately.
Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.
As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.
To get the best flavours from fresh herbs and spices, cut them or tear them and add them to hot foods. 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.
