Tom Yam Goong
This is the national aroma of Thailand, thanks to the generous use of
fragrant herbs. Lemongrass, lime leaves, galangal, and shallots provide the
memorable smells, with chilis and fish sauce providing the kick. Substance
comes in the form of jumbo shrimp (goong) and mushrooms. The flavour is a
unique combination of spicy hot and sour and makes for an ideal start to a
meal, or - when paired with rice - a worthy main dish.
Pad Thai
Thailand's calling card to the rest of the culinary world, pad Thai
doesn't need an introduction. There are an infinite number of variations on
this timeless tradition, but usually noodles are dressed up with tofu, bean
sprouts, onion, and the brilliant final touch: peanuts ground to near dust. Pad
Thai is a diner-participation meal; you put on the finishing touches of fish
sauce, sugar, chili powder, and crushed peanuts to suit your taste. ------By Xiangrui Kong------
