Thai culture is known for snacking, which is why there are so many small side dishes. They love quick foods like spring rolls, rice dishes with a variety of different flavours of chicken and shrimp. There are so many dips, soups, salads, and sweet and spicy aromas in Thai cooking.
The Key Flavours
A typical Thai meal includes five main flavours: salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy. Indeed, most Thai dishes are not considered satisfying unless they combine all five. While the seasoning can be spicy for a foreign palate, Thai food ensures that a balance of all flavours is present.
This time, I’d like to share with you one of my go-to emergency meals: Tteok-ramyeon. The spicy, savory, hot ramyeon, with the soft, filling, warm rice cake really satisfies and fills you up. You don’t have to use spicy ramyeon, but I always do. I love the spicy kick!
