Description
Thai street food cooking is a unique culinary tradition that employs high heat and local ingredients to create bold, aromatic dishes.
Technical
Thai cooking involves chemical reactions like the Maillard reaction, which occurs between 140°C and 180°C, and the use of ingredients like lemongrass and galangal to add depth and complexity. The combination of fish sauce, lime juice, and chilies creates a balance of umami, acidity, and heat.
