Visit a local Asian grocery shop to find out more about Thai spices. You'll find many ingredients there, including fresh basil leaves, dried chilies and curry paste.
Whole peppercorns, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise may also be found.
Thai cuisine can use either dry or wet spices. Dry spices are generally ground, while wet spices can be crushed or pounded finely.
Dry spices can be added to any dish. A good example is chicken soup with ground red pepper. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.
Wet spices are often used in sauces, marinades, and dressings. Fish sauce, oyster sauces, sesame and sesame olive oils, curry paste and hoisin are some of the most common wet spice options.
To make Thai food at your home, it is important to understand which spices are best with particular ingredients.
Red pepper flakes are recommended for beef. Use white pepper instead if you have seafood such as shrimp.

Almond Flour and Almond Meal: What is the Difference?
An almond meal, which can be used as an almond flour substitute, is more versatile than other almond flours because it can be used for baking and cooking, as well as making nut free dishes.
Almond flour can also be gluten-containing, which can make it difficult to digest. Avoid gluten-free food if you have celiac disease, or any other digestive disorder.
Although almond flour isn’t considered to be a “superfood”, it is rich in healthy fats and fibre.
The almond meal offers many nutritional benefits including iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese (thiamin), calcium, vitamin A, B1 and Vitamin C.
Almond flour, made from almonds contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oil. Both can lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol.
Almond flour also contains antioxidants like phenolics and flavonoids. These compounds protect against free radical-induced oxidative harm.
The Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry published a study that found almond flour to have the same antioxidant activity as blueberries, cranberries and pomegranates.
Almond milk is often sold with almond flour, which has been fortified with additional nutrients.
