Thai food is the national cuisine of Thailand, celebrated for its balance of flavors like sweet, spicy, sour, and salty, and for its use of fresh herbs and aromatic spices. Popular dishes include Pad Thai, a stir-fried noodle dish; Tom Yum soup, a hot and sour broth; green curry, a coconut-based curry; and Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. The cuisine encompasses different methods like boiling (tom), spicy salads (yam), pounded foods (tam), and curries (kaeng), with influences from Chinese cuisine, particularly in stir-frying and deep-frying techniques.
