How to Cook dishes from Thailand
Thai food offers many delicious dishes flavored with spices, lemon-grass or coconut
- although different regions of Thailand,
each tend to have their own preferred ingredients - for example, coconut milk and turmeric in the South, and lime
juice in the Northeast.
No matter what part of the country a dish is from, all
Thai dishes or meals aim to achieve a balance between fundamental flavors common to the cuisine:
spicy hot, sour, sweet and salty, as well as optionally bitter.
Rice forms an important and fundamental part of Thai food, and jasmine rice (which is native to
Thailand) is used in many
dishes as well as being served plain.
Here are some popular Thai recipes and dishes include:
- Gai pad khing - Fried chicken with vegetables and sliced ginger.
- Green curry - A curry flavored with coconut, green chillies, and Thai basil,
containing vegetables and chicken or fish.

- Pad see ew - Noodles stir-fried with thinly sliced pork or chicken,
and flavored with fish sauce.
- Pad Thai - Fried rice noodles with fish sauce, sugar, lime or tamarind, peanuts and egg,
mixed with chicken, tofu or seafood.
- Red curry - A very hot curry made with plenty of red chillies.
- Satay - Originally from Indonesian cuisine
(where it is known as "Sate")
satay has also become a popular
dish in Thailand.
Satay is grilled meat (usually chicken or pork), usually on skewers,
served with cucumber salad and a peanut sauce.

- Som tam - Grated papaya salad. There are several
variations: the salad can be served with salted black crab,
with peanuts,
shrimps and palm sugar, or with salted fish, eggplant,
and long beans.
- Tom yam - A hot and sour soup made with seafood (often shrimp) or
chicken.
- Yellow curry - A curry that is colored using fresh turmeric (hence its yellow
color), and also containing black mustard seeds, cumin, nutmeg, brown sugar,
kaffir lime leaves, lime juice, coconut milk and fish sauce.

Click Here | Product Description: Renowned chef David Thompson first went to Thailand by mistake: a holiday plan had to be changed at the last minute, and he ended up in Bangkok, where he was seduced by the people, culture, and cuisine. Since that fateful trip some 20 years ago, Thailand has become David's second home. Working alongside cooks who perfected their craft in the Thai royal palaces, he began to document the traditional recipes and culinary techniques that have been handed down from generation to generation. The result is THAI FOOD, the most comprehensive account of this ancient and exotic cuisine ever published in English. David writes about Thailand and its food with an easy erudition, encouraging readers to cook and experiment, while simultaneously fostering a respect for the food and its stewardship through the ages. Although all the classic, well-loved recipes are here, this magnum opus features hundreds of lesser-known but equally authentic and delicious Thai dishes that will inspire cooks to go beyond green curry chicken and Thai fish cakes. David's passion and conviction are infectious; complemented by Earl Carter's superb photography, THAI FOOD captures all aspects of the dynamic Thai culture and cuisine.• Ten years in the making, this groundbreaking work is one of the cookbook publishing events of the decade.• The author's London restaurant, nahm, received a Michelin star in 2002, making it the first Thai restaurant to receive such an honor.• Photographed at David's restaurants in Sydney and London, and on location in Thailand, Earl Carter's superb images capture both the essence of Thai food and its rich cultural milieu.
