About Thailand Cuisine

Thai dinner recipes balance sweet, sour, salty and spicy in every dish. Fish sauce, lime, chillies, garlic, basil and palm sugar are the core seasonings, and most dishes cook in minutes over high heat — pad kra pao, the holy basil chicken stir-fry, is the classic weeknight example.

Thai meals are shared family-style: rice in the centre, several dishes around it, and everyone helping themselves. Fresh herbs are used generously, and a fried egg on top turns a stir-fry into a complete meal.
