Bursting with fresh, vibrant ingredients and complex flavour combinations, Thai cuisine is one of the best things about a trip to Thailand. If you’re looking to create an authentic Thai experience in your own home, Thermomix® is here to help!
Thai dishes feature a unique and complex blend of aromas, flavours and textures. Common dishes typically include one or more sweet, spicy, sour, salty or bitter elements. For an authentic Thai experience at home, stock your kitchen with these delicious ingredients:
• Fresh herbs like coriander, mint and Thai basil
• Lemongrass
• Galangal
• Coconut milk
• Limes
• Thai fish sauce
• Fresh chillies
Rice is a staple of Thai cuisine. With a subtle floral aroma, jasmine rice is widely used and often accompanies classic Thai curries and fried or grilled meat and seafood. With Rice Cooker mode, achieving the perfect consistency of fragrant jasmine rice is simple and straightforward.
• Simply place 200 - 400 g jasmine rice, 300 - 580 g water, 10 - 20 g oil and ¼ - 1 tsp fine sea salt in mixing bowl then, with simmering basket in place of measuring cup, start Rice Cooker.
• Transfer cooked rice to a serving dish, stir gently with spatula and serve hot.
• For an even more authentic experience, add extra aromatic flavour to your jasmine rice by placing a stalk of lemongrass and a lime leaf (or half a lime) in the mixing bowl before cooking.
