Thailand (Thai Recipes) |
||
Every Thai meal is a delicate balancing act of bold flavors. The soups and curries are both tart and creamy sweet, flavored with sour tamarind, scarlet-hot chilies, tangy lime leaves and handfuls of aromatic basil, coriander and mint. While the cooking of Thailand has borrowed from other countries, stir-fried and steamed dishes from China, spices from India - these influences have been shaped into a cuisine whose taste and fragrances are uniquely Thai. Thai cuisine is adaptable, innovative and dynamic. The best Thai cooking uses the freshest ingredients available to create the unique Thai taste. Thai taste can be defined as the use of all 5 flavors: spicy, sweet, salty, bitter and sour. Only Thai cuisine brings out all of these flavors to play together harmoniously in a meal. | ||
