Get to know Thai Food
Thai food is widely known for being hot and spicy since almost all Thai food is cooked with basic ingredients such as garlic, chilies, limejuice, lemon grass and fresh coriander leaf and fermented fish sauce or shrimp paste to make it salty.
Since rice is the staple food in Thailand, it is usually eaten at every meal with soups, curries, stir-fried and nam prik. Nam prik is a hot sauce, prepared in a variety of ways and differs from region to region. In general, the basic ingredients of nam phrik include shrimp paste, garlic, chili, fermented fish sauce and lime juice.
In fact, the main reasons why Thai food is so delicious is because there’s no other cuisine like it on Earth. Authentic Thai food relies upon the careful balancing of sweet, salty, spicy, and sour. Other common seasoning in Thai food include galingale, black pepper, ground peanut, tamarind juice, ginger and coconut milk. As a result, it takes hours to prepare a proper Thai meal in the traditional way as it involves so much peeling and chopping and pounding so it needs time to prepare in advance.
Though the major portion of Thai food is described as being spiced and chili hot, it currently enjoys worldwide popularity especially the exotic Tom Yam Kung, a uniquely piquant prawn soup that is renowned for it simplicity, creativity, artistic flair and delicious taste. Above all, the tastes of Thai cuisines can be amended to suit individual desire, for example, by reducing the amount of chilies in certain dishes to lower the heat or increasing amount of lime juice to increase sourness. Visitors who have tried the exotic Thai food will never forget to order them again whenever their favorite dishes are available.
