Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most well-known ingredient in Thai cuisine?
Thailand has two main ingredients that make up the heart and soul of all dishes: rice, curry, and steamed vegetables. This combination creates an unforgettable taste.
Thais call this combination "Khao pad Krai," which translates to "the best dish." This is because the two basic foods can be combined to create something truly delicious and irresistible.
The same applies to life. If you combine hard work with perseverance, you can achieve great success.
The right ingredients can make you successful, like Khao Pad Krai: passion and purpose. If you put them together, you'll produce something extraordinary.
You should remember that Thai food requires more than curry and rice to create memorable meals. Experiment with other ingredients to see what fun it can be.
What's the Difference Between Cooking With Whole vs. Ground Spices?
There are no significant differences in the cooking of whole and ground spices. After harvesting, spices are ground. There is no quality difference.
However, the price difference is substantial. Whole spices are more expensive because of the labor required to process them. However, the flavor is worth it.
You'll often find extra discounts for bulk purchases when you buy whole spices. You might get a discount if your entire bag is of cinnamon sticks.
The same applies to nutmeg and cloves, ginger or cardamom. If you purchase these spices in bulk, you may be able to save money.
Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. Ground spices lose their potency rapidly due to oxygenation.
But the main reason why we recommend purchasing whole spices is that they add a lot of character to recipes.
Whole turmeric can be used to make delicious curry. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.
Grinding spices takes time. It is sensible to purchase large quantities when buying whole spices. You won't run low on spices if you buy large quantities.
Can you put spice in a drink?
I love spices adding flavour to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?
Spices are great because they bring out the best in any beverage. There's nothing better than adding cinnamon or nutmeg in your glass of wine or beer, whether it's coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or cocktails.
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.
Here's where the magic happens. It's possible to transform your favorite spices into a powdered form that is easy to use with a bit of creativity. Then you can mix them into your favourite beverages to create delicious spiced drinks.
These powders can be made in two ways. One way is to grind whole spices into fine powder. Another method is to use a mortar & pestle to grind the spices until they are finely ground.
No matter which method you use, the powder will be much easier to measure and store than whole spices. Powder keeps well, so you will never run out.
You can experiment with mixing spices to create different flavours. To make minty water, you can combine spearmint and peppermint leaves. For spicy ginger tea, use ginger and cardamom capsules.
Once you are skilled in the production of powdered spices, it is possible to apply that technique to herbs. Some popular herbs include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sage.
There are so many possibilities. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.

How To
How do you store your cooking spices?
This article will show you how to store cooking spice for optimal performance. First of all, we need to establish an understanding of the science behind the storage of foodstuffs.
Keep spices out of direct sunlight as light will reduce their flavor. This is caused by oxidation, which happens when oxygen and organic compounds combine like spices.
To avoid oxidation, spices must be kept in dark cupboards. Spices will lose their flavour quickly if the conditions aren’t met.
Keep spices in airtight containers away from direct sun to preserve their flavour.
To make flavoured drinks, you can add herbs or spices to water. For example, mix two teaspoons of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of warm water and stir well. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.
Dried herbs and spices can be added to soups and stews, casseroles and rice dishes. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.
If you have leftover cooked vegetables, fruit, meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs, cheese, bread, crackers, cookies, cakes, pies, or puddings, they can be added to your favourite recipes as snacks.
For the best flavor of fresh herbs, you can chop them up or tear them apart and then add them to your favorite foods. Also, you can freeze herbs and spice by placing them into ice cube dishes or muffin cups. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags and zip-top plastic bag.
