Thai Chilli Beef Noodles

17th September 2019 by Candace Leave a Comment

Thai cuisine is a celebration of the fresh and fragrant. The traditional taste of Thai food is a combination of four key tastes; sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. These flavours balance each other well to give you that distinctive taste of Thailand. Thai food originated with the people who emigrated from the southern Chinese provinces into modern-day Thailand many centuries ago and Thai food also combines the flavours from several different Asian influences such as Burma, Vietnam and Malaysia.

Thai food is one of the 5 most popular cuisines eaten around the world with the others being Indian, Chinese, French, and Italian.

Thai cooking traditionally combines aromatic spices which gives the food it a distinctive taste. Thai food traditional includes Thai basil, ginger, chilli, mint and lemongrass along with pastes such as nam pla (fish paste) and Kapi (shrimp paste). Rice and noodles make up the staple Thai diet with fragrant jasmine rice usually being the key accompaniment to any Thai meal.

Vegetables and fruits also form a large part of any Thai meal and will include vegetables such as beansprouts, broccoli, tomato, sweet potato and squash. Fruits such as pineapple, mango, papaya and lime juice are distinctively Thai tastes and work as a fresh, cool and clean ending to a Thai meal.

Herbs and Spices are also an essential part of Thai cooking which are used to achieve a balance of the four essential Thai tastes: salty, sour, spicy, and sweet.

Thai cuisine is one of the healthiest foods you can eat. It is known that many of the fresh herbs and spices used in Thai cooking, such as turmeric, coriander, lemongrass, and fresh chilies have immune-boosting and disease-fighting power.

I love the warming kick of a little chilli and really love how a Thai meal can tick all the boxes without being overly hot. Personally, I’m not a fan of overly spiced food but the with the right amount of chilli and I’m in heaven.

I am also a huge fan of simple meals especially for a mid-week supper after a busy day and bonus points if it is ready and on the table in less than 30 minutes.
