Frequently Asked Questions
What are the spices, condiments and seasonings Thailand uses in its dishes?
Thai cuisine is a blend of influences from Asia. Its roots lie in India and China, along with Southeast Asia.
Freshness, the essential ingredient of Thai cuisine, is key. 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 add complexity and fragrance 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. are commonly used.
How to Store Spices
Keep them in an airtight, dry container away from heat or light.
If you want to keep spices fresh for a long time, place them into a dark cupboard. This will help preserve the spices and prevent oxidation.
Keep spices dry and away from sunlight in a cool, dry place. The spice may lose flavour and aroma if placed near a window or heater.
Spices should be stored in an airtight tin or glass jar. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.
After opening the seal, make sure to inspect it again. 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.
What is the most popular ingredient in Thai cooking?
Thailand has two main ingredients that make up the heart and soul of all dishes: rice, curry, and steamed vegetables. These two ingredients combine to produce a unique flavor.
In Thailand, we call this combination "Khao Pad Krai," which means 'the best dish.' This is because when these two basic foods are combined into a single dish, they become incredibly delicious and irresistible.
It's the same for your 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. When you combine these ingredients, you can create something remarkable.
Next time you feel like eating Thai food, remember that it takes more than just rice and curry to make a memorable meal. Try out other ingredients and have fun!
What are the 11 spices of Indian cooking?
Indian cuisine has eleven spices: cumin seeds (coriander seeds), mustard seeds (fennel seeds), nigella seeds and black pepper.
These ingredients can be found in almost all dishes. These spices are used in almost every dish, including curries, curries, chutneys (pickles), rice, bread and sweets.
For health reasons, spices are also beneficial. For example, turmeric helps fight cancer cells. Bad breath is prevented by cloves. Black pepper lowers cholesterol. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.
A spice rack makes a great kitchen tool. It allows you to experiment with many different combinations of flavours. You can make your spice mix or buy ready-made blends that contain many of the essential spices.
Some people choose not to add spice to their food. Some people believe spices can only mask the natural flavor of food and don't improve it. However, adding a pinch of salt or pepper is no harm in enhancing the flavor of your meals.
Most chefs agree spices are essential to culinary art. Many dishes would taste bland and boring without spices. Try a new recipe next time you feel adventurous.

How To
How to store cooking spices?
Here's how to store your cooking spices for maximum performance. We must first understand the science behind food storage.
Because light can diminish the flavour of spices, they should be kept in sealed containers. This is because oxygen reacts with organic compounds like those in spices to cause oxidation.
Spices should be kept in the dark cupboards and sealed tightly in airtight containers to prevent oxidation. These conditions can cause spices to quickly lose their flavor.
You can preserve the flavor of spices by keeping them in sealed jars, away from direct sunlight.
You can flavor water by adding herbs and spices. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Add a squeezed lemon juice and serve immediately.
Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Place the spice mixture on top of the dish and allow it to rest for 5-10 mins before serving.
You can add leftover cooked vegetables, fruits, meats and shellfish to your favorite recipes as snacks.
You can enjoy the fresh flavours of fresh herbs or spices by chopping them up and adding them to food while they are still hot. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Once frozen, place them in freezer bags or zip-top bags.
