What are the most popular Thai dishes?

Thai cuisine offers a broad spectrum of varying, complex flavours and textures, and every dish is unique and open to different interpretation. It’s one of the world’s best cuisines, so it’s no surprise that its dishes are famous internationally. Some of the most popular Thai dishes that are must-try are the following. 

1. Pad Thai (Stir-fried Thai rice noodles)

This famous Pad Thai is considered as a default international dish of Thailand and is a go-to for tourists who are newbies in Thai cuisine. Its main ingredient is a stir-fried noodles mix alongside crunchy bean sprouts, onion and egg. It oozes with tasty flavour, thanks to the quartet of accompanying condiments- the fish sauce, sugar, chilli powder and roasted or finely ground peanuts. And it comes with a meat of your choice – chicken, prawn and tofu. Pad Thai is perfect for those who enjoy the chinese chicken chow mein. 

2. Kao Pad (Fried rice)

Just as England loves sandwiches, this Thai fried rice is a go-to dish among Thai people, and its name means fried rice. This basic and simple dish made with scented Jasmine rice is typically served with lime and cucumber slices and is a popular dish among locals in Thailand. In Thai, Khao is rice and Pad refers to stir-fried. Thai people often add a twist into it by using either prawns, crab, or chicken to chilli, basil or some left-over vegetables in the process, thus turning a plain dish into a full-flavoured delight. There are two Kao Pad menu options in Junjira, and the difference mainly lies in the meat choice. 

• Kao Pad Gai (Chicken fried rice)

This stir-fried rice uses chicken and different spices, including onions, spring onions, peas, carrots, eggs, soy sauce and oyster sauce.

• Kao Pad Khung (Prawn fried rice)

This dish uses the same ingredients with Kao Pad Gai except that it uses tasty prawns instead of chicken. 

3. Gang Keo Waan(Green chicken curry)

Perhaps the most popular curry in Thailand, this dish commonly called Green curry is made from chicken breast, green curry paste, carrots and beans cooked in coconut milk. This dish is best served with steaming rice or Kanom Jeen noodle. 

Thai Curry for Indian Dish Lover

If there’s one thing common in Thai cuisines and Indian dishes aside from condiments, it’s the love for curries. Both Thai and Indian curries use spices like chilli, cumin, pepper and coriander. Another similarity between the two cuisines is coconut milk in curries and fresh coconut with jaggery in desserts. So, if you’re looking for an alternative to the Indian curry you’re craving or something that tastes almost similar to it, try Junjira’s flavourful Thai curries that will satisfy your cravings with its savoury taste.

Gang Keo Waan (Green curry)

This spicy yet sweet green curry is one of the hottest in Thai cuisine. It may look similar to red curry, but it has a signature green colour thanks to the green chillies and paste. This budget-friendly meal can be ordered in Junjira for just £5.99. 

Gang Paa (Jungle curry)

This famous Thai curry has no coconut milk; thus, it is not as creamy and sweet as other dishes. It appears watery, but if you’re in for a curry with a spice that kicks, this dish might suit your taste. You can have a taste of this jungle curry at just £5.99.

Gang Panang

Known as the “sweetest curry”, this popular dish uses green curry paste, peanuts to add flavour and offer the taste of Indian dishes with coconut milk. This is popular to Thais, and it’s available in Junjira for as low as £5.99. 

Massaman curry

This dish is a fusion of Thai and Indian-style curries that uses red-style curry paste and dry whole spices, coconut milk, tamarind juice and roasted peanuts which adds richness and texture to this flavorful dish. You can try this special curry in Junjira for only £5.99.

Thai Stir Fried/ Noodles for Chinese Cuisine Lover

Thai cuisine also has a fair share of Chinese influence, especially regarding the stir-frying and deep-frying cooking techniques and the use of tofu. Many popular Thai dishes were also of Chinese origin, and many noodles were linked to China such as Khanom Jiin, and Guay Tiaw. So if you are a lover of Chinese cuisine, you might also enjoy these Thai dishes from Junjira:

Kad Yad Sai

This stuffed omelette priced at £5.99 comes with a delightful twist of tasty minced pork, onion, carrots, tomato plus tomato sauce making the dish wholesome.
