Nam Phrig Noom (Northern Thai Pounded Roasted Chili Dip)

If you're anything like me, when you first taste nam phrig noom, the smoky, garlicky, roasted chili dip from Northern Thailand, it's gonna blow your mind. Made with roasted green chilies, shallots, and garlic, it's served as a side dish alongside all sorts of raw and cooked vegetables, boiled eggs, or—my favorite—crispy pork rinds.

Prik Gaeng Massaman (Thai Massaman Curry Paste)

Warm spices and toasted aromatics give this curry paste smoky complexity.

Panang curry

Panang curry is one of my favourite Thai curries as it's rich in flavour and packs a little punch. But, if you can't handle the spice, you can just reduce the amount of chillies you use to soften the heat. Enjoy!

Fresh green chiles are the key to this bright curry paste.

Gai Pad King (Thai Chicken and Ginger Stir-Fry)
