Frequently Asked Questions
What is the importance and purpose of spices?
Spices are seasonings that enhance the flavour of food. Spices come in various forms, such as powders, liquids, gums, oils, pastes, and seeds. They are also called condiments and flavours.
A great way to spice up your meals is to add some variety. You can spice up dishes with many different spices for more flavor and excitement.
It may be that adding a few drops to your bowl of soup makes it more flavorful. Perhaps you can add some cayenne peppers to your cup of rice.
Fresh ingredients are best for experimenting with spicing. Look for organic dried herbs when you purchase them. Fresh herbs are more durable than dried herbs.
While some spices are essential for cooking, others might be better to avoid. Cinnamon sticks are high in coumarin so you should avoid them if your liver has been affected. Although ginger also contains coumarin it is much less concentrated. It's safe for people who don't have a history of liver problems.
How do I make Thai food at home using Thai spices?
In order to cook authentic Thai food at home you will need five spices: black pepper (cayenne), coriander seeds (coriander seeds), turmeric and cinnamon. Each of these ingredients has its distinct flavour profile and plays a vital role in creating delicious dishes.
Cinnamon brings out the sweetness of black pepper, while white pepper enhances the savoury flavours. Coriander seeds add a spicy kick, while turmeric gives curry powder its signature yellow colour. Cayenne peppers bring the heat while cilantro adds freshness. Finally, cinnamon adds depth and complexity to any dish.
These spices are available at most grocery stores. However, if you prefer to order them online, we have recommendations.

How to Store Spices
Keep them in an airtight container away from light and heat.
Place them in a dark cupboard to store spices for extended periods. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.
Keep spices away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool place. The spice may lose flavour and aroma if placed near a window or heater.
Spices need to be kept in an airtight glass container or tin. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.
Always check the seal after opening and resealing, as humidity can cause spoilage.
Don't toss out any leftover spices. You can make use of them by adding them to your favorite dishes. You can even freeze them to extend their shelf life.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms?
The shiitakes grow well. There is nothing wrong with them. However, how do you cut them without cutting yourself? We have tried everything, even using scissors. But they keep falling out our hands. Is there something wrong?
Well, there's a trick for that. Place a rubber band on the stem of the mushroom and twist it tight. By doing this, you won’t slip and get cut.
You might think that it seems too simple. It is. But it's also very useful.
The rubber band makes it slippery so that it feels natural when you pick up the stem. It doesn't hurt to keep the stem in place.
You can now try it. You'll be amazed how easy it is to cut mushrooms.
