Thai

There are many different types of Thai recipes, but they all have one common ingredient: rice. Rice is a staple in Thai cuisine and is used in everything from soups and salads to main dishes and desserts.

Thai food is known for its unique combination of sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavors. This is due in part to the use of ingredients such as tamarind, palm sugar, fish sauce and chili peppers.

Thai cuisine has its origins in the country's various ethnic groups, including the Tai, Lao, Khmer, Chinese and Indian. Each of these groups has contributed their own dishes and flavors to the Thai culinary repertoire.
