Thai Dinner Ideas
15 Thai dinner recipes for home cooks, with cooking times.
Thai cooking balances salty, sour, sweet and spicy in a single dish, and these dinners show how to get there at home. Stir-fries like pad kra pao and pad prik king are ready in minutes, curries range from green curry with eggplant to a slower massaman beef with potatoes, and northern dishes such as khao soi and larb gai round things out. Fish sauce, lime and fresh herbs do most of the work.
