Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main spices, condiments, seasonings and herbs used in Thai cuisine?

Thai cuisine is a mixture of Asian influences. Its roots are in India and China as well as Southeast Asia.

Freshness is the most important ingredient in Thai food. It is easier to get the best flavour from ingredients if they are picked earlier and cooked quickly. This is why meats, fish, vegetables and fruits are often eaten raw and hot.

Sauces and spices add depth and flavor to 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. These ingredients are common.

What is Thai cooking's most famous ingredient?

Thailand's two main ingredients form the heart of all Thai dishes. They are rice and curry. These two elements combine to create a memorable flavor.

Combining these two basic foods into one dish is known as "Khaopad Krai" in Thailand.

This is true for all aspects of life. You can achieve great success if you combine the right two ingredients - hard work and perseverance.

Like Khao Pad Krai, you can also succeed by combining the right ingredients: passion and purpose. If you put them together, you'll produce something extraordinary.

When you are craving Thai food, don't forget to add rice and curry! Have fun with it!

What is the importance of spices?

Spices are seasonings that enhance the flavour of food. Spices can come in many forms: powders or liquids, oils, pastes or seeds, as well as liquids and gums. They are also known for their versatility and ability to be used as flavours and condiments.

You can spice up meals to make them more interesting. You can spice up dishes with many different spices for more flavor and excitement.

A few drops of hot sauce can make a soup taste better. Perhaps you can add some cayenne peppers to your cup of rice.

You can experiment with spice recipes best if you use fresh ingredients. If you buy dried herbs, look for those that are organic. Fresh herbs can last for longer than dried.

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. Ginger also contains some coumarin but it is less concentrated. It's safe for people who don't have a history of liver problems.

How to Store Your Spices?

Keep them in an airtight, dry container away from heat or light.

Place them in a dark cupboard to store spices for extended periods. This will ensure that they stay fresh and prevent any possible oxidation.

Keep your spices out of direct sunlight and in a cool dry place. The spice may lose flavour and aroma if placed near a window or heater.

Spices work best in an airtight jar or tin. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.

As humidity can cause mold growth, it is important to check the seal before opening or resealing.

Don't toss out any leftover spices. Use them instead by adding them into other dishes. To extend their shelf life, you can freeze them.

What is the Thai use for mint?

Thai cuisine uses the most popular type of mint, the lime-leaf (Mentha cevina).

It has a mild, lemony flavour that adds freshness and zing to dishes. Thai dishes often include other spices such as galangal (lemongrass), garlic, and coriander.

Mint is a versatile herb and can be used in both sweet and savoury recipes. It is crucial to use authentic Thai flavors by using the right spices, herbs, aromatics.

next time you make a Thai dish, don't forget to include some lime-leaf mint for extra flavour!

Happy cooking!

Can you spice up a drink?

I love the way spices add flavour to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?

Spices can bring out the best of any beverage. From coffee to tea, hot chocolate to cocktails, there's nothing more satisfying than adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to a glass of wine or beer.

But most recipes call for ground spices, meaning you'll need fresh whole spices. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.

This is where the magic happens. You can transform your favourite spices into an easy-to-use powdered form with ingenuity. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.

These powders can be made in two ways. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make 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. Plus, the powder keeps well so that you won't run out of stock.

Mixing spices can be fun to create new flavors. To make minty water, you can combine spearmint and peppermint leaves. To make spicy ginger tea, you can also combine ginger and cardamom pods.

Once you are proficient in making powdered spice, you can also apply this technique to herbs. Some popular herbs include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sage.

The possibilities are endless. Powdered spices can be used to add flavour to beverages or enhance the flavor of dishes like soups, salads and pasta.

How to store cooking spice?

Because light can diminish the flavour of spices, they should be kept in sealed 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. If these conditions are not met, spices will quickly lose their flavour.

Keep spices fresh by storing them in airtight jars out of direct sunlight.

You can add herbs and spices to water to make a flavoured drink. For example, mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm water and stir well. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.

Dried herbs can be added to soups stews, casseroles pasta dishes rice dishes salads and desserts. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on the dish, and let it sit for five to ten minutes before you serve.

As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.

Fresh herbs and spices can be enjoyed by being chopped or broken up. You can also freeze herbs and spices by placing them in ice cube trays or muffin cups and freezing them. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags and zip-top plastic bag.
