b. Rice is the staple carbohydrate

Another important element to be aware of in relation to Thai cuisine is that rice is a staple food. It is typically served alongside most meals, especially jasmine rice, which is its most elegant variety, while it has a slightly sticky texture and a delicate fragrance.

Jasmine rice is the most widely used variety in Thai food because it provides a neutral base to complement the bold flavours that are contained in a variety of Thai food dishes while it helps to balance out the spiciness. Likewise, noodles also play a significant role in Thai dishes, especially the classic Pad Thai and noodle soup dishes.

c. Various cooking techniques

Finally, if you are looking to open a Thai restaurant franchise, then you must be aware that Thai cuisine embraces a number of different cooking techniques, including stir-frying, grilling steaming and deep frying.

Furthermore, this versatility allows for a wide range of dishes to be created with distinct textures and tastes; for example, stir-fried noodles dishes such as Pad Thai feature a delicious combination of crisp vegetables, tender meat and aromatic sauce. However, other Thai dishes, including the popular green curry use coconut milk to create a rich and creamy flavour.

  • Use fresh ingredients and create bold flavours
  • Be aware that rice is the staple carbohydrate in Thailand
  • Embrace a number of cooking techniques to create a range of dishes

In concluding, if you are looking to open a Thai restaurant in the future, then you must be aware of a number of essentials about Thai cuisine, especially its use of fresh ingredients and bold flavours while you must embrace different cooking techniques and use rice as the staple carbohydrate.
