What defines Thai cooking
Thai cooking balances four core tastes—sour, salty, sweet, and spicy—often in a single dish, so a squeeze of lime, a dash of fish sauce, and fresh chile pepper can all show up together rather than in isolation. Cooking methods lean on quick high-heat stir-frying, simmered curries built on coconut milk, and generous use of fresh herbs and aromatics like garlic and cilantro. A home cook exploring the cuisine will notice how rice anchors most meals while these bright, pungent seasonings do the heavy lifting.
