Our Thai Food Recipe website has hundreds of traditional Thai Food and authentic Thai recipes.
Thai Food is known for its balanced mix of five fundamental flavors in each dish. Those five are hot (spicy), sour, sweet, salty and bitter (which is optional). Although primarily thought of as a single cuisine, Thai food is really divided into four major regional thai foods related to the four main regions of Thailand: Northern, Northeastern (also known as Isan), Central and Southern. For example southern curries tend to have coconut milk and fresh turmeric ingredients, while northeastern dishes like to include lime juice as an ingredient.
Over the years Thai Food has incorporated properties of Chinese stir fries and Indian curries while maintaining its own unique flavors. Very much like Vietnamese food, Thai food is known for using a lot of fresh (ie, not dried) herbs, spices and fish sauces.
Thai food is extremely popular in many Western countries. Some of the most popular being Australia, New Zealand, some countries in Europe such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. |
