Frequently Asked Questions
What uses is Thai spice?
We've all heard the term "Thai spice" thrown around without knowing exactly what it means. It makes our mouths water when we try it.
It's much more than a spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.
There are thousands of Thai recipes, but very few include the authentic flavor. Let's discuss how to incorporate these tasty flavors into your meals.
Thais have been cooking with herbs, spices and other flavors since ancient times. Thai, which means "to make", comes from the Sanskrit word.
Even today, most Thais prefer to eat spicy foods. This preference is often attributed to the hot weather in Thailand, which makes it difficult to keep warm without something hot to drink. Thais also consume more chili peppers per capita than Americans and Europeans.
You can learn the most about Thai spices by visiting a local Asian grocery. 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 has two kinds of spices: wet and dry. Most Thai cuisine uses dry spices, which are ground and pulverized finely.
Dry spices are added directly to a dish. For example, you can sprinkle ground red pepper onto your chicken soup. To make a paste, wet spices are often mixed with butter or oil.
Wet spices are often used in sauces, marinades, 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.
For example, red pepper flakes is recommended for beef. White pepper is better for seafood such as 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.
This Thai recipe will give you a kick next time your stomach gets rumbling.
What Thai spice will I need to make Thai food home?
To make authentic Thai food at home, you'll need to master five essential spices: black pepper, cayenne, coriander seeds, turmeric, and cinnamon. Each ingredient is unique and plays an integral role in the creation of delicious dishes.
Black pepper adds savoury flavours, while cinnamon adds sweetness. Coriander seeds give curry powder its distinctive yellow colour, while turmeric adds a spicy kick. Cayenne peppers are hot, and cilantro adds freshness. A final ingredient is cinnamon, which adds depth and complexity.
You can buy each of these spices in your local grocery shop, or you can order them online.
What are the spices, condiments and seasonings Thailand uses in its dishes?
Thai cuisine is a combination of influences from all over Asia. Its roots lie in India and China, along with Southeast Asia.
Freshness is the most important ingredient in Thai food. Ingredients that are quickly cooked and picked at the right time will have more flavour. This is why meats and fish, as well as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and grains, are often eaten raw and served warm.
Spices and sauces give dishes depth and color. 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. These ingredients are common.
Can you spice up a drink?
I love the way spices add flavour to food. But how do you make them come alive when used in drinks?
Spices can bring out the best of 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. It makes sense but is time-consuming and expensive.
Here is where the magic happens. With some creativity, your favourite spices can be made into powdered forms that are easy to use. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.
There are two ways to go about creating these powders. One way is to grind whole spices into fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.
It doesn't matter what method you choose, the result is easier to measure out than whole spices and easier to store. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.
You can even experiment with mixing different spices to create new flavours. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. Ginger and cardamom pods can be used to make spicy ginger Tea.
Once you've mastered making powdered spices, you can apply the same technique to herbs. Some of the most common herbs are basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.
The possibilities are limitless. Powdered spices are a great way to make your drinks more flavorful or to enhance dishes like soups and salads.

How To
Are you a master of making curry paste?
Curry paste includes dried chillies (scallions, shallots), galangal root and lemongrass as well as kaffir lime leaves, garlic, shrimp pastes, sugar, salt and sometimes coconut milk. It is widely used in Thai cuisine.
Curry paste is a popular condiment in Southeast Asia. Curry paste can add a distinct flavour to many dishes like curries.
It's easy to make at-home! Follow our step-bystep guide below.
Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- You need to prepare all ingredients before starting this recipe.
- Begin by peeling and cutting shallots into small pieces (about 2 cups). Then, cut the galangal roots into small pieces (approximately 3 inches in length), and then set aside.
- Next, slice four garlic cloves. Lemongrass stems about 1/2 inch thick should be removed and finely chopped.
- After that, you will need to crush dried red chili peppers (about four tablespoons) before removing the seeds (optional).
- Next, trim the kaffir lime leaves into strips about 5 inches in length. Next, remove the white part from the stem and leave it alone.
- Once the shrimp paste has been drained, rinse it and then coarsely crush it.
- Finally, measure the sugar and salt.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients
- Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth.
- The texture should be comparable to peanut butter.
- Note: if you want to reduce the amount of oil in the dish, you can substitute some water for some of the oil.
Step3 - Add Coconut Milk
- Mix coconut milk with the mixture.
- Slowly add coconut water to prevent the paste from getting too sticky.
- If you prefer less spice, add less chillies to the recipe and more galangalroot.
- If you prefer it spicy, add more chillies or less galangal roots. The final result should taste good to you.
Step4 – Serve
- Top it with your favorite foods.
- Enjoy!
