Give Thai a Try!

Think of the worst food you've ever tasted. Soggy, boiled
vegetables springs to mind-the kind with all the taste and nutrition
leached out of them. No spice or texture, no freshness or goodness.
Now think of the opposite, and you have heavenly Thai food. Fresh,
spicy, salty, sweet and sour, with a variety of textures and
temperatures (crispy and soft, hot and cold), Thai food is a taste
explosion in every bite. Once you've tried it, you'll never go
back to plain old meat-and-potatoes cooking again.

Another way to describe Thai food? Imagine Chinese food, but with
more intensity. With more flavors, more aroma, spices, and textures.
If you like Chinese food, you're going to fall
head-over-heels-in-love with Thai food!

Thai Curry

The roots of Thai cuisine can be found both in regional tastes and
flavors as well as in the influence of cooking styles from nearby
cultures. Despite the fact that Thailand is at least partially
separated from its neighbors by water, it has never isolated itself
from other nations. Indian and Malaysian spices and dishes (such as
curries) were brought with travel and trade, and the Thais were quick
to add these wonderful flavors to their own unique version of curry.
Today there are four main curries in Thai cuisine: green, red, yellow,
and Massaman.

Thai curry dishes start with a very intense and fragrant curry
paste or sauce, usually made by hand with pestle & mortar. Once the
paste/sauce is made, Thai curry is extremely easy to create, simply by
adding any variety of meat, seafood, vegetables, or tofu and cooking it
in the oven (like a casserole).

Thai Noodles

Thailand is also famous for its fragrant stir-fried noodle
dishes. Most Thai noodle recipes call for rice noodles rather than
those made with wheat or egg, although these can also be found in Thai
cooking. Noodles were first brought to Thailand by the Chinese, many
of whom remained in Thailand and integrated with the local society.
For this reason, Chinese cooking has been a major influence in Thai
cuisine, including cooking styles (the Chinese introduced the wok) and
key cooking ingredients, such as soy sauce.

Thai Stir-fries

From stir-fried local vegetables to dishes that combine meat,
vegetables, tofu, or noodles, stir-fries are a common part of everyday
Thai cooking. When creating stir-fry sauces, Thai chefs seek a balance
of flavors-spicy, salty, sour, and sweet-by using ingredients like
fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, lemongrass, fresh chilli (or chilli
sauce), and a little sugar. Achieving this balance is not difficult,
but it does take practice.

With a little help from CurrySimple Thai food products, cooking
Thai food at home can be easy and just as delicious as the restaurant
version. So forget those old boiled vegetables. Create some heavenly
Thai food in your kitchen today, and add a little freshness and spice
to your life!

Guess you never lived in Thailand, eh? Some of the worst smelling, worst
tasting food I've ever had. Of course there was great Thai food... but they
were busy cooking it, not selling SPAM.
