Frequently Asked Questions
How to store your spices?
Keep them in an airtight, dry container away from heat or light.
To store spices for longer periods of time, place them in a dark cupboard. This will ensure that they stay fresh and prevent any possible oxidation.
Keep spices dry and away from sunlight in a cool, dry place. It is possible for the spice to lose its flavor and aroma if it's placed in close proximity to a window or heater.
Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. You should ensure that the containers are not moistened if you store them in plastic containers.
Check the seal every time you open and reseal it. Heat can cause moisture to spoil your product.
Don't throw out any spice leftovers. Make sure to use leftover spices in other recipes. They can be frozen to prolong their shelf-life.
Does Thai use ginger?
The answer is yes. Ginger is used extensively in traditional Thai cooking. It is often added to stir-fries and soups and is also commonly used in desserts and drinks such as lassis.
Ginger is an indigenous plant of China, Japan and Korea. Its roots date back more that 5,000 years. It is believed that ginger originated in Southeast Asia where it was grown for medicinal purposes.
Ginger is well-known for its ability to relieve nausea and stimulate digestion. It may even help prevent migraines. Ginger also helps to relieve muscle spasms, reduce joint pain, and treat arthritis.
Ginger is most often fresh in Thailand. It is sliced into thin strips and then dried before being stored for later use. You can buy ginger root in jars or cans from Asian markets.
What are the common condiments, spices and seasonings they use in their Thai dishes?
Thai cuisine is a blend of influences from Asia. Its roots lie in India, China, and Southeast Asia.
The essential ingredient of Thai food is freshness. Ingredients that are quickly cooked and picked at the right time will have more flavour. This is why meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, seeds, and grains are often eaten raw and served hot.
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.
What purpose is Thai spice used?
The term Thai spice is a common phrase that we've heard a lot, but don't really know what it means. It makes our mouths water when we try it.
But it isn't just any old spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.
Many recipes call for Thai spice, but only a few have the actual thing. Let's talk about how to make sure you add these amazing flavors to your meals.
As far back as ancient times, Thais have been cooking with herbs and spices to add flavor to food and beverages. Thai comes from the Sanskrit term for "to prepare".
Thais are still fond of spicy foods. This preference can be attributed to Thailand’s hot weather. It is difficult to stay warm when you don't have something to drink. Thais also consume more chili peppers per capita than Americans and Europeans.
The best way to learn about Thai spices is to visit a local Asian grocery store. There are many options available, including dried chilies as well as fresh basil leaves and curry paste.
You may also find whole peppercorns.
Thai cuisine offers two types of spices: dry and moist. Wet spices are ground finely, while dry spices are typically ground.
Dry spices are usually added to a dish. Ground red pepper can be sprinkled on chicken soup, for example. To make a paste, wet spices are often mixed with butter or oil.
Wet spices are used in dressings, sauces and marinades. Fish sauce, oyster sauces, sesame and sesame olive oils, curry paste and hoisin are some of the most common wet spice options.
Thai recipes can be prepared at home by knowing which spices pair well with what ingredients.
For example, if you are using beef, you should use red pepper flakes. If you use seafood like shrimp, you should use white pepper instead.
If you don't live near an Asian market, you can order online. Here you will find everything, from dried chilies and exotic herbs to spices.
These Thai recipes will make you hungry next time!

How To
Do You Know How to Make Curry Paste?
Curry paste is made from dried chillies, shallots and galangal root. It also contains lemongrass, galangal root (lemongrass), lemongrass, kaffir Lim leaf, garlic, shrimp paste and sugar. It's used extensively in Thai cuisine.
Curry paste is one the most loved condiments in Southeast Asia. Curry paste can add a distinct flavour to many dishes like curries.
It is very easy to make it at home. Follow the steps below to make it easy!
Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- Before you can start the recipe, it is important to have all the ingredients ready.
- Start by peeling and chopping shallots (about 2 cups). Next, chop galangal root into small pieces (3 inches in length) and place aside.
- Next, remove and cut the cloves of garlic (about four cloves). Finely chop the lemongrass stems to about 1/2 inch in thickness.
- Then, crush dried red chilli peppers (about four tablespoons) and remove the seeds (optional).
- Next, cut kaffir lime leaves into thin strips (about 5 inches long). The white part of your stem should be removed and put aside.
- After that, wash and drain shrimp paste (about 6 ounces), then coarsely mash it.
- Last, take out the salt and sugar.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients
- Blend all ingredients until smooth
- The texture should be comparable to peanut butter.
- If you would like to reduce the amount oil in your dish, you could substitute water for some of it.
Step3 - Add Coconut Milk
- Mix the coconut milk into the mixture.
- Slowly add coconut milk to ensure that the paste doesn't become too sticky.
- For a milder taste, use less chillies and more galangal roots.
- If you prefer it spicy, add more chillies or less galangal roots. The final result should taste good to you.
Step4 - Serve
- Top it with your favorite foods.
- Enjoy!
