27 authentic Thai recipes
Fish sauce, lime, chili, basil, ginger, the wok
Thai cooking is governed by balance — the simultaneous presence of sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and bitter in every single plate. Pounded curry pastes built from galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, fresh chili, and fermented shrimp paste form the aromatic engine of the cuisine. Fish sauce and lime juice season almost everything; the wok adds blistering heat in seconds. Regional kitchens diverge sharply: the fiery herb-forward dishes of northeast Isan, the milder coconut-rich curries of the central plains, the turmeric-stained broths of the south, and the earthy Lanna preparations of the north. Fresh herbs served at the table are never decoration — they complete the dish.
