Thai Seasoning Blend

Product Information

Be aware though that most seasonings contain quite high levels of salt which is thought to cause high blood pressure. If you can find low sodium versions they’ll help but otherwise just be aware of the salt in the seasoning you are adding. Table of Thai Seasonings

I find making my own spices a great way to use up spices while they still have flavor and it also saves me spending more money on store-bought spice blends.

Gluten-related ingredients are not typically a part of this blend. But the additives or preservatives added during commercial manufacturing might contain traces of gluten. Read the list of ingredients on the label and make certain before buying. Is Thai Seasoning Keto-Friendly?Another extensively used spice that is reportedly very good for your body and also a component in many Asian herbal remedies. Get it and use it. Ginger Powder Another common spice in the West but much less often used as an ingredient in Thai dishes. It is however used in making massaman curry paste by quite a lot of Thai cooks. Coriander or Cilantro Root Don’t get me wrong — I love southwest & Mexican flavors, but sometimes I want a little something with an Asian seasoning profile. For the same reasons of freshness so important to Thai ingredients, turmeric powder is less commonly used than fresh turmeric which is readily available. It is not spicy and used to add flavor to some fish dishes, stir fry, and steamed dishes. Use it sparingly. Fermented Soybean Sauce

Fingerroot is something of a secret for Thai dishes. With a similar taste to ginger and also called Chinese ginger, it is used in quite a lot of Thai recipes and especially those that have Chinese influences. Later trade with the Portuguese brought European influences too in some of the herbs and spices used in today’s Thai cooking (and the Sino architecture especially in Phuket). Short answer: Sort of. You could replace fenugreek with some garam masala (a blend commonly used in Indian dishes), yellow mustard seeds and brown sugar or just leave it out. Thai Seasoninghas astrongcitrus flavourwitha chilli punch!Transport yourself to the bustling streets of Thailand with thisfusion of classicAsianingredients: galangal, Thai holy basil and lemongrass to name a few. Utilising these herbs and spices (that are kept fresher for longer with our foil pouch) maximises the flavour and aromas of your dishes. Cumin is among one of the most flavorsome spices found in the world. It has a distinguished taste and a pleasant aroma that undoubtedly increases the appetite. In Thai cuisine, cumin seeds are used in seasoning most of their curries, pastes, and other dishes.

If you can find fenugreek, please use it! If your grocery store doesn’t carry it, try a natural/fancy-pants grocery store like Whole Foods. Or an ethnic grocery store that carries Asian spices, if you happen to have on nearby. Fresh ginger root is another wonderful spice that there will be arguments about including here. But anyway, this rhizome has a definitive heat to it quite different to chili heat and with a zing that is not there with its milder cousin galangal. I got the idea for this blend from a Thai blend made by Spicely, an organic spice company. Maybe you’ve noticed them in the spice aisle of nicer grocery stores? Their spices come in cute little green boxes. It actually tastes somewhat similar though of course you would not expect the taste to be quite the same. There is quite a wide range of flavor profiles between brands as well but there is no ‘authentic’ soy sauce anyway.
