Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best Thai spices to use?
The best Thai spices include lemongrass, galangal, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger. Some other good spices include cayenne pepper, clove, cardamom, black peppercorn, fennel seeds, star anise, and cloves.
Rose petals, bay leaves and pandan leaves are all valuable spices.
How to Store Spices
Keep them in an airtight, dry container away from heat or light.
To store spices for longer periods of time, place them in a dark cupboard. This will keep the spices fresh and prevent any oxidation.
Keep your spices out of direct sunlight and in a cool dry place. A heater or window can cause the spice to lose its aroma and flavour.
Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.
Check the seal every time you open and reseal it. Heat can cause moisture to spoil your product.
Don't throw out any spice leftovers. Don't throw them away, instead use them in new recipes. They can be frozen to prolong their shelf-life.
What mint is used in Thai food?
Thai cuisine's most used type is lime-leaf, or Mentha cervina.
It has a mild, lemony flavour that adds freshness and zing to dishes. Thai dishes are enhanced with other spices, such as galangal and coriander.
Mint is a versatile herb that can be used in both sweet as well as savoury meals. Using the right spices, herbs, and aromatics is essential to achieving delicious authentic Thai flavours.
next time you make a Thai dish, don't forget to include some lime-leaf mint for extra flavour!
Happy cooking!
Does Thai use ginger?
Yes. Ginger is used extensively in traditional Thai cooking. It is commonly added to stir-fries or soups. Ginger is also used in desserts such as lassis.
Ginger is a common ginger plant in China, Japan, Korea, and elsewhere. Its origins can be traced back to more than 5,000years ago. It is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, where it was cultivated for medicinal purposes.
Ginger has been known to improve digestion and reduce nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger is also known to reduce muscle spasms and joint pains as well as treating arthritis.
Ginger is often fresh in Thailand. Ginger root is first cut into thin strips before drying and stored. Ginger root can be purchased in cans or jars at Asian markets.
Which Thai spice do I need to cook Thai food at home?
For authentic Thai cooking at home, you need to be familiar with five essential spices: cayenne, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper. 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 heat up the dish, while cilantro adds flavor and freshness. Finally, cinnamon can add depth and complexity in any dish.
Each of these spices is available in your local grocery. If you'd rather buy them online, the following are our recommendations.
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?
There is no difference between cooking whole spices and with ground spices. All spices are ground after harvesting. The quality is the same.
However, the price difference is substantial. 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. You might get a discount if your entire bag is of cinnamon sticks.
It is the same for cardamom and cloves as well as ginger, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.
Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.
We recommend buying whole spices because they add flavor to your recipes.
You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. You can also grind whole coriander leaves to make a spice mix for chicken dishes.
Additionally, spices need to be ground. A large amount of whole spices is a good idea. That way, you won't run out of spices too fast.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms
So the shiitakes have been doing well. There's nothing wrong about them. How do we cut them? We have tried every method, including using scissors. We keep losing them. What is the deal?
You have a trick. Place a rubber band on the stem of the mushroom and twist it tight. That way, you won't slip and cut yourself.
This may seem too simple. It is. But it's also very useful.
The rubber band makes the stem slippery, so it feels natural when you pick it up. It's a good idea to secure the stem.
Go ahead, try it. It will be so much easier to cut mushrooms than ever before.
