Thai Rice Recipes

Thai cooking chases the balance of hot, sour, salty and sweet in every dish — fresh, aromatic and unafraid of chilli. When Thai cooks work with rice, they reach for fish sauce, lime, lemongrass, galangal, Thai chilli and palm sugar, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, frying, stir-frying and boiling.

The everyday grain for half the planet — a neutral base that soaks up the flavours around it, from pilafs to fried rice. In this collection it's most often cooked with fish sauce, garlic, thai basil, fine sea salt, eggs and onion. The dishes here span thai classics ready in as little as 13 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
