Thailand 🇹🇭

Thai food balances four things against each other: salty, sweet, sour and hot. If you can get hold of fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar and chilli, you have the basis for most of it. At FUDI you will find both the staples and the ready-made pastes.

Frequently asked questions

Which curry paste is the hottest? Green is usually the hottest, red sits in the middle, and massaman and panang are the mildest and roundest of them.

How much fish sauce should I use? Less than you think. It is very salty, and a couple of teaspoons lift a whole stir-fry. It smells strong in the bottle, but turns round in the dish.
