The dish is often made in a wok and involves quickly stir-frying purple eggplant with fish or duck sauce, soy sauce, basil leaves, peppers, garlic, and sugar. Some restaurants can alter the heat, so if you're not used to spice, ask your server about this option before swearing off the dish.
Chef Chat Suansilphong , co-owner of Fish Cheeks restaurant and culinary director of Gai Chicken and Rice, told Insider that he always recommends people try Esan sausages.
Also known as sai krok Isan, these fermented nuggets hail from the northeastern part of Thailand. Esan sausages are usually made with pork and rice and served as a snack with cabbage, chilis, or ginger. Tom yum is a sweet and spicy soup usually made with broth, shrimp, fish sauce, coconut milk, lime, and herbs like basil or lemongrass. There are many variations of tom yum, with some popular versions including squid, chicken, beef entrails, or mushrooms. Thai-style crispy fish is made by battering and frying a whole white fish, such as snapper or tilapia.
The dish is often served with seasoned rice, scallions, ginger, and a spicy or sweet sauce and usually comes with the head and tail intact. Fried Thai rolls are made by wrapping vegetables in rice paper and frying until golden , a cooking process that can sometimes cause the fillings to lose their flavor. If you're looking for a lighter alternative, you can try fresh Thai spring rolls, which aren't fried and are often served with a sweet or spicy peanut sauce for dipping. Eat this with a plate of steamed jasmine rice.
Thailand is composed of four regions with very distinct cultures, dialects, and, of course, food. Nam prik noom is famous in Northern Thailand, where fresh veggies and young chilis are plentiful. This roasted, pounded chili dip -- composed of garlic, shallots, cilantro, fish sauce, lime juice, and green chilis -- has a smoky, garlicky, charred flavor and makes for a wonderful centerpiece in a northern Thai meal. Tod mun pla is the quintessential Thai appetizer that should be on every table.
Essentially a Thai fish cake, the dish is made from fish paste and long beans, and flavored with red curry paste and makrut lime leaves. The lime leaves give the dish a citrusy and aromatic fragrance.
Tod mun pla is usually served with a sweet and refreshing dipping sauce, or nam jim, which contains chopped cucumbers, chilies, shallots, and peanuts submerged in a syrup of sugar, fish sauce, and vinegar.
The result is a sweet-and-savory starter that can easily be transformed into a meal over a plate of white rice. Kai jeow is the unsung hero of Thailand. Every Thai kid has grown up on this wok fried omelette, which can be stuffed with a variety of ingredients. The two fillings I love most are the moo sab -- garlicky, peppery ground pork -- or nam -- a sour, fermented Thai sausage.
The trick to getting a perfect kai jeow is cook over very high heat, resulting in a crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside egg dish. Crying tiger, one of my favorite Thai dishes of all time, hails from Isaan -- the northeastern region of Thailand. Isaan is known for having very "sapp" foods -- flavors that are strongly spicy, sour, and salty -- and serving every dish with a side of sticky rice.

Mah hor is delicate, but richly flavored, and it is made with mandarin orange or pineapple and topped with pork, chicken, peanuts, sugar, peppercorns, and coriander.

On top, a lot of people like to add chunks of pickled vegetables and sliced shallots. A squeeze of lime completes the dish. This long sausage is easy to spot in Thai markets and at food vendors.
Outside it has a red brown color, while inside it is golden with a little bit of green and yellow. Its prominent taste comes from lemongrass, kaffir lime, and galangal.
It is usually made with pork and cooked on a grill, which adds a smoky flavor as a final touch. This dish is quite popular in northern Thailand. You will be served with a plate and a bowl. In the small bowl, you will find a thick dip made with sweet cherry tomato sauce and minced pork. The plate is full of raw slices of cabbage, long beans, okra, cauliflower, and eggplant.
Some places serve it with fried pork crackling, boiled eggs, and Thai sausage. The taste is garlicy, sweet, and usually a little bit spicy. It is a good change from the usual flavors, since it doesn't make use of lemongrass, galangal, or soy sauce.
It is perfect as appetizer. A soup noodle with a dark red broth cooked with beef or pork, and dried smoky chilies. Vegetables like cabbage, pickled mustard greens, bean sprouts, cilantro, and fried garlic are added to enrich the smoky and tangy flavor. It is a spicy dish, and the broth is a little oily. If you look carefully, you may find a particular version with pieces of stewed oxtail: extremely tender and extremely flavorful.
