    Just to note on fiber, there’s a number of thai ingredients such as fragrant leafs that are added for smell and not to eat. Most of us eat around these but literally if you eat these add ins combined with the fantastic amount of bird beak peppers we love, you’re going to have an interesting day. Another example, the number of seeds alone that you can find in some ส้มตำ is almost comparable to a chia flax smoothie. In my opinion the number of fresh plants is not something found in many other cuisines.

    Eating like this may not even be possible for every meal, best start your day with a nice fried egg with rice to recover, you know. (Drizzle with chili vinegar fish sauce to survive until your next glorious meal)

      Sounds wonderful! My go to us Pad See Ew when I’m eating Thai. I learned how to make it when all of my Thai restaurants closed down during the pandemic and I got pretty good at it! I’m now sort of a snob about the dish knowing when it’s not made correctly…

      Hot Thai Kitchen in YT has a wealth of knowledge that she provides to make authentic Thai food and as a bonus she’s gorgeous!
