Thai food is a popular cuisine known for its complex flavors and use of fresh ingredients such as herbs, spices, vegetables, and meats. The cuisine is heavily influenced by Chinese, Indian, and Malay cuisines, and is characterized by its balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors.
Some popular Thai dishes include Pad Thai (stir-fried rice noodles with vegetables, eggs, and peanuts), Tom Yum (a spicy and sour soup), Green Curry (a spicy and creamy curry with chicken or beef), Som Tam (a spicy papaya salad), and Massaman Curry (a mild curry with potatoes and peanuts).
Rice is a staple in Thai cuisine, and is often served alongside dishes or used as a base for stir-fried dishes or curries. Thai food is also known for its vibrant and colorful presentation, often incorporating a variety of vegetables and herbs to create a visually appealing and flavorful meal.
