Thai cuisine is internationally renowned.

Whether spicy or mild, harmony is the guiding principle behind every dish.

Thai cooking is essentially a combination of centuries-old Eastern and Western influences that form the unique Thai diet.

Thai cuisine is designed to suit everyone's appetites, depending on the chef, diners, occasion and location.

Thai cooking originally reflected the characteristics of an aquatic lifestyle.

Aquatic animals, plants and herbs are the main ingredients.

Avoid large pieces of meat.

Later influences led to the use of rather large pieces of meat in Thai cuisine as well.

Introduction to Thai food culture Because of their Buddhist background, Thais avoid using meat from large animals.

Chunks of meat are minced and tossed with herbs and spices.

Traditional Thai cooking methods are steaming, baking or grilling.

Due to Chinese influence, frying, stir-frying and deep-frying methods were introduced.

Since the 17th century, cooking methods have been influenced by Portuguese, Dutch, French and Japanese influences.

In the late 17th century, Portuguese missionaries in South America introduced red peppers to Thai cuisine as they became accustomed to the taste.

Thais are very good at "Siam-Ise" foreign cooking methods and substituting some ingredients.

Ghee used in Indian diet was replaced by coconut oil, and coconut water replaced other dairy products.

Less overpowering pure spices and more fresh herbs like lemongrass and galangal.

Finally, use fewer spices and more fresh herbs in Thai curries.

It is generally known that Thai curry has a strong spiciness but lasts for a short time, while other curries, due to the strong spices, have a spiciness that lasts for a long time.

Thai food is not served in a certain order, but served all at once, so that diners can enjoy the various flavors that complement and combine with each other.

A complete Thai meal should include a soup, a seasoned curry, fish and vegetables.

Spiced salads can be substituted for curry dishes.

Soups can also be spicy, but curries should be replaced with non-spicy dishes.

Each dish and the entire meal must harmonize in taste and texture.

Thai food is also a SPA. Thailand's SPA industry is forming a unique, fresh and energetic Thai style, a truly fashionable and healthy meal.

The old health foods usually meant lettuce and carrots on the plate, and now they have entered the ranks of spa healthy cuisine.

However, today the chefs of Thai SPA cuisine have found many fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs in the garden and processed them to make them appear on the table.

Thai food is one of the best cuisines in the world and the most innovative in Asia in terms of quality and preparation.

Now that healthy options are replacing traditional Thai cooking, guests can look forward to something special.

For those rare SPA dishes, Andrew, a leader in healthy food, revealed a myth: it is not like using some raw materials to cook "fish" and "meat" foods like vegetarian food.

Regardless, healthy foods are often combined with many vegetables to balance the body's protein needs.

The innovation of chefs is to cook vegetables, fruits and herbs into healthy food with delicious tastes such as fish and meat.

SPA cuisine is healthy and nutritious. It integrates the three basic factors of cooking, namely reducing fat, reducing salt and reducing sugar, into simplicity and health.

SPA cuisine is about choosing organic raw materials, such as using fruits and vegetables as raw materials to cook dishes instead of unhealthy foods that use MSG, soda and food color to change the taste and color of the raw materials themselves.

Instead, healthy, nutritious ingredients such as pure olive oil, apple juice, herbs and sea salt can add flavor to dishes and have medicinal properties.

Preparation of food is very important, frying and using microwave ovens are absolutely prohibited.

Food should be cooked mainly by baking, frying, and steaming.

With the above main principles in mind, it is not surprising to see the rapid development of Thailand's SPA industry. Chefs have their own unique insights into SPA cuisine.

The composition of Thai food may be appetizers, accompaniments, side dishes, and/or snacks, including spring rolls, barbecue sticks, and herbal popcorn cakes, reflecting the fun and creative character of the Thai people.

Salad What is important is the harmony of flavors and the taste of herbs.

The main flavors are sour, sweet and salty.

The level of spiciness varies depending on the texture of the meat and the occasion.

Regular Dishes A sweet and sour dish, a fluffy omelette and a stir-fry are a complete meal.

Dipping Sauces Dipping sauces are a little more complicated.

Served with vegetables and meat, it can be the main course of a meal.

When the dipping sauce is made very thin, it can be served as a salad design.

The special simple dipping sauce is made with red chili peppers, garlic, dried shrimp, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and shrimp paste.

Soup On average, each person should have a portion of soup and rice at a meal.

Traditional Thai soup is unique because it has more flavors and ingredients than other foods.

Curry Most non-Thai curries consist of powdered or dried spices, whereas the main ingredients of Thai curry are fresh herbs.
