Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between cooking Whole and Ground Spices? Ground Spices?

There is no difference in cooking with whole spices and cooked with ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. This ensures that there are no differences in the quality of spices.

But the price gap is significant. Because of the labor involved in making whole spices, they cost more. But the flavour is worth it.

When you buy bulk spices, you may get additional discounts. You might get a discount if your entire bag is of cinnamon sticks.

This is true for cloves, ginger and cardamom. This can help you save money on spices if you buy them in bulk.

Whole spices also last longer than ground spices. Because ground spices lose potency quickly from oxidation, this is why whole spices last longer than ground spices.

Whole spices are a great way to add personality and flavor to your recipe.

You can make delicious curry using whole turmeric, instead of ground turmeric. Or you can grind whole coriander seeds to create a spice blend for chicken dishes.

It takes time to grind spices. If you're buying whole spices it makes sense for you to buy large quantities. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.

What are the uses of Thai spice?

Everyone has heard the term Thai spice, but not all know what it is. We are left wondering why we don't eat more Thai spice when our mouths water.

It's much more than a spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.

While there are thousands of Thai-inspired recipes out there, few of them contain the real thing. Let's learn how to include these delicious flavors in your meals.

Thais have used herbs and spices since ancient times to enhance food and drink. Thai comes from the Sanskrit term for "to prepare".

Today, Thais still love spicy food. This preference can often be attributed to Thailand's hot weather, which makes it hard to stay warm without hot beverages. Additionally, Thais consume much more chili peppers than Europeans or Americans.

It is a great way to learn more about Thai spices. You'll find many ingredients there, including fresh basil leaves, dried chilies and curry paste.

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 offers two types of spices: dry and moist. The dry spices are usually ground while the wet spices are crushed or pounded finely.

Dry spices are added directly to a dish. You can sprinkle ground red pepper on your chicken soup. Wet spices are commonly mixed with oil or butter to form a paste.

Wet spices can be used in sauces, dressings, and marinades. Wet spices are used in many dishes, including fish sauce, oyster, sesame, sesame, sesame oil and curry paste.

Thai cuisine can be made at home by learning which spices work well with specific ingredients.

Red pepper flakes should be used if you're using beef. If you're using seafood like shrimp, white pepper should be used.

If you don't live near an Asian market, you can order online. You will find everything from dried chilies to exotic herbs and spices here.

This Thai recipe will give you a kick next time your stomach gets rumbling.

How to Store Spices

Keep them out of the sun and heat.

For longer storage, store spices in a dark cabinet. This will help keep them fresh and prevent any deterioration due to oxidation.

Your spices should be kept in cool and dry areas, away from direct sunlight. If the spice is placed near a heater or window, it may lose its flavour and aroma.

Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.

After opening the seal, make sure to inspect it again. Humidity can cause spoilage.

You don't have to throw out leftover spices. You can make use of them by adding them to your favorite dishes. They can be frozen to prolong their shelf-life.

Can garlic be used in Thai cooking

Garlic is an ingredient used in Thai cuisine. Garlic is often used to make Thai dishes, including salads and soups, stir-fries and curries, as well as sauces and sauces.

In Thailand, garlic is chopped and fried with shallots, ginger, and spices. Also, you can eat it with sticky white rice.

The most common way to eat garlic is to chop it finely and mix it with chilli paste, salt, fish sauce, lime juice, and oil. This mixture is called Nam Phrik (namphrik). Nam Phrik is often served alongside grilled chicken, beef, or pork.

Does Thai use ginger?

The answer is yes. Traditional Thai cuisine uses ginger extensively. Ginger is often used to make stir-fries and soups. It is also used in desserts, drinks, such a lassis.

Ginger is a native of China, Japan, Korea and other Asian countries. Its origins go back over 5,000 years. It is believed to have originated from Southeast Asia, where it was cultivated medicinally.

Ginger is well-known for its ability to relieve nausea and stimulate digestion. It may even help prevent migraines. In addition, ginger aids in reducing muscle spasms, relieving joint pains, and treating arthritis.

Ginger is often fresh in Thailand. Ginger root is first cut into thin strips before drying and stored. In Asian markets, you can purchase ginger root in cans or in jars.

What are the typical spices, condiments, and seasonings used in their dishes in Thailand?

Thai cuisine is a blend of influences from Asia. Its roots are found in India and China, as well as Southeast Asia.

Freshness is the key ingredient in Thai cuisine. It is easier to get the best flavour from ingredients if they are picked earlier and cooked quickly. This is the reason meat, fish, fruits and vegetables are often eaten raw.

Spices and sauces enhance the flavor and complexity of 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 are often used.

Can you spice up a drink?

It's amazing how spices can add flavour and flavor to food. How do you make spices alive in drinks?

Spices add a wonderful depth to 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.

Most recipes call for ground spices. This means that you'll need fresh whole spice. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.

This is 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. Mix them with your favorite drinks to make delicious spiced beverages.

There are two methods to make 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.

You'll find it easier to make powder than whole spices, regardless of the method. You won't run short of powder, and it keeps well.

Mixing different spices can create new flavors. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. To make spicy ginger tea, you can also combine ginger and cardamom pods.

Once you are skilled in the production of powdered spices, it is possible to apply that technique to herbs. Basil, rosemary, thyme and sage are some of the most popular herbs.

There are many options. Powdered spices can enhance the flavor and texture of beverages, such as soups or salads, as well as the taste of pasta.

Do You Know How to Make Curry Paste?

It is very easy to make it at home. Follow the steps below to make it easy!

Step1 - Prepare Ingredients

• To begin, you will need to peel and chop shallots (about 2 cups). Cut galangal root in small pieces, about 3 inches long. Set aside.
• Next, cut four garlic cloves into pieces. Peel and finely mince lemongrass stems (about 1/2 inch thick).
• You can then crush the red chilli bell peppers into small pieces (about 4 tablespoons), and then you can remove the seeds (optional).
• Cut the kaffirlime leaves into small strips, approximately 5 inches in length. Remove the white part of the stem and set it aside.
• Once the shrimp paste has been drained, rinse it and then coarsely crush it.
• Last, take out the salt and sugar.

Step2 - Grind Ingredients

• Blend all ingredients together until smooth.

Step3 - Add Coconut Milk

• Mix coconut milk with the mixture.
• Slowly add coconut milk to ensure that the paste doesn't become too sticky.
• You can reduce the amount of chillies and increase the quantity of galangal root if you prefer it less spicy.
• If you like it spicier, add more chillies and less galangal root. You should enjoy the final product.

Step4 - Serve

• Serve on top of your favourite foods.
• Enjoy!
