    Your Thai pantry

    With culinary influences such as Portuguese, Dutch, French, Chinese and Japanese, Thai cuisine is famously fragrant. Lemongrass, coriander, makrut lime leaves, mint, lime, ginger and galangal (Thai ginger) all add a lightness and delicacy that makes Thai food a standout. Sweet, sour, bitter, salty and hot elements are blended in a variety of cooking methods including stewing, grilling, stir-frying and deep-frying. Fish sauce is used in Thai cuisine as a flavour enhancer; while it does have a strong fishy flavour, used judiciously it adds intensity rather than fishiness. Along with shrimp paste and tamarind, you’ll find it’s readily available in supermarkets. Sesame oil is another staple of Thai cooking, adding a nutty flavour, and coconut cream replaces ghee in Thai-style curries. You can freeze makrut lime leaves, lemongrass and galangal for future use.
