Thai cooking can be done quickly and easily in your own home with the right ingredients. The basic rule for Thai cooking is that all ingredients should be ready before cooking begins.
Thai cuisine has lightly prepared dishes with strong herbal, floral and aromatic components. Thai cuisine is known for being spicy, balanced, fresh and having variety. Fresh veggies are integral to Thai cooking. Thai food is known for its balance of the five fundamental taste senses in each dish or the overall meal: hot (spicy), sour, sweet, salty, and (optional) bitter.
