Frequently Asked Questions
Can you spice up a drink?
I love how spices bring flavour to food. But how do you make them come alive when used in drinks?
Spices are excellent because they add incredible depth to any beverage. You can add a little cinnamon or nutmeg to any glass of wine, beer or coffee.
But, since most recipes call to ground spices, you'll need whole spices. This makes sense, but it is expensive, takes time, and requires storage space.
That's where the magic happens. You can transform your favourite spices into an easy-to-use powdered form with ingenuity. These spices can be mixed into favorite beverages to create tasty spiced drinks.
There are two ways to go about creating these powders. One method involves grinding whole spices into fine powder. Another uses a mortar and pestle to grind the spices into a finer consistency.
You'll find it easier to make powder than whole spices, regardless of the method. Powder also keeps well so you won't run dry.
You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. You could make minty water by combining spearmint and peppermint. You can also make spicy ginger-ginger tea by combining ginger and cardamom seeds.
Once you've learned how to make powdered spices from scratch, you can apply the same process to herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.
There are so many possibilities. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.
What is the difference between cooking Whole and Ground Spices? Ground Spices?
There is no difference between cooking whole spices and with ground spices. All spices can be ground once they have been harvested. There is no quality difference.
But the price gap is significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. But the flavour is worth it.
Bulk purchases of whole spices can often get you additional discounts. If you buy a whole bag of cinnamon sticks, you may get a discount.
It is the same for cardamom and cloves as well as ginger, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger. This can help you save money on spices if you buy them in bulk.
Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Ground spices lose their potency very quickly due to oxidation.
However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.
You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.
Grinding spices takes time. If you're buying whole spices it makes sense for you to buy large quantities. This will ensure that you don't run out of spices quickly.
Does Thai use ginger?
Yes. Ginger is used extensively in traditional Thai cooking. Ginger is often used in stir-fries and soups, as well as desserts and drinks, such as lassis.
Ginger is native to China, Japan, and Korea, and its origins date back more than 5,000 years. It is thought that it originated in Southeast Asia, where its medicinal uses were cultivated.
Ginger is known to stimulate digestion and relieve nausea. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger also helps to relieve muscle spasms, reduce joint pain, and treat arthritis.
Ginger is often eaten fresh in Thailand. Ginger root is first cut into thin strips before drying and stored. From Asian markets, ginger root can be bought in cans and jars.
How to Store Your Spices?
Keep them out of the sun and heat.
For longer storage, store spices in a dark cabinet. 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 are best stored in an airtight glass jar or tin. Make sure that there is no moisture in any plastic containers you store spices in.
After opening the seal, make sure to inspect it again. Humidity can cause spoilage.
Don't toss out any leftover spices. Use them instead by adding them into other dishes. To prolong their shelf life you can freeze them.
Thai food contains paprika.
Yes. Yes.
Thai food is a good example of paprika.
Paprika can been traced back to Ancient Greece over 5,000 years ago. The Hungarian language, which means "pepper", is where the word "paprika" came from.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms?
So the shiitakes have been doing well. There's nothing wrong with them. But how do we cut them without cutting ourselves? We have tried every method, including using scissors. But they keep falling out our hands. What is the deal?
Well, there's a trick for that. Place a rubber band on the stem of the mushroom and twist it tight. You won't slip, and you won't be cut.
You may think it sounds too easy. Well, it is. It's also extremely effective.
Because the rubber band makes the stem slippery it is easy to pick it up. Plus, it doesn't hurt to hold the stem tightly.
Go ahead, try it. You'll be amazed at how much easier it is to cut mushrooms now.
