A culinary favorite throughout the world and one so many enjoy each day, Thai food is surely one to beat. With delicious, fresh ingredients, memorable flavors, and combinations that will leave you wanting seconds, there is something extraordinary about Thai cuisine. Best of all, the incredible versatility and ability to easily recreate many of the cuisine’s most famous dishes at home make it all the better. Whether you’re looking for some dinner inspiration or are just curious about different Thai dishes you can make at home, then keep reading! Here are three Thai dishes (and simple variations) you can easily create for tonight’s dinner:

Pad Thai

If you’re familiar with Thai food, you're likely to have tasted or at least heard of Pad Thai. This savory medley of rice noodles, shrimp, chicken, or other protein mixed with peanuts, scrambled eggs, and sprouts, combined with a Pad Thai sauce, makes for the perfect lunch or dinner option for any occasion. While enjoying Pad Thai at a restaurant is a treat in and of itself, making it at home is much easier than you think! All you need is around 30 minutes (you can even prepare the fresh ingredients such as your protein and vegetables ahead of time) and a few ingredients you may need to run to the grocery store for, and you’ll be well on your way to recreating this delicious dish! If you’re interested in making it for yourself, try this Pad Thai recipe, this Vegan Pad Thai, or this delicious seafood Pad Thai!

Thai Yellow Curry

Another tasty Thai dish you may already be familiar with is Thai Yellow Curry. This creamy dish full of complex flavors all mixed together and served over rice makes Yellow Curry a notable mention on our journey through exploring Thai cuisine. Yellow Curry is a very versatile dish; you can add or substitute some of the ingredients and their levels per your taste preferences! For instance, yellow curry can be enjoyed on both the spicier or milder side and can be made with seafood, different vegetables, or even with plant-based proteins (if that’s your preference)! If you’re looking to make this for your next lunch or dinner (or even use it as a meal-prep option throughout the week), try this vegetarian Thai Yellow Curry, this delicious Yellow Curry, or this meal-prep-friendly Yellow Curry recipe!

Basil Fried Rice

If there’s one thing you’ve likely enjoyed when it comes to Thai food, it has to be Thai Basil Fried Rice. This aromatic rice dish makes for the perfect complement to any lunch or dinner (and a great way to use any extra Thai basil you may have on hand!). While you could use the basil you have in your fridge to make this rice, it’s recommended to use Thai basil to recreate this dish to help give it the extra bold and spicy flavor basil fried rice is known for. Additionally, making Basil Fried Rice at home is incredibly easy and perfect for busy days when you only have around 30 minutes to make a delicious meal, and best of all, you can use whichever protein you like within the dish (making it a wonderful dish for plant-based eaters as well).
