One of the well-acclaimed noodle dishes is pad Thai; a stir-fried rice noodle dish enveloped in tamarind paste, finished off with ground peanuts, bean sprouts, and chicken, shrimp, or tofu.

This luscious, aromatic creation is made with coconut milk, green curry paste, and fresh herbs and is a required dish at Thai weddings. The green curry also complements steamed rice.

Som Tum (Green Papaya Salad): It has an incredible burst of flavor and, as such, is a salad shredded from young papaya, spiced up with indeed chilies and nuts. It gives one a very tingling experience when combined with lime juice.
