Fresh vegetables we use in our recipes:

The best part of Thai and Akha food is using all fresh ingredients. There are various types of fresh vegetables used in Thai and Akha cooking. Some of them you may know already, and some of them you have never heard of before. Some may be available in dried or powder form.

For example turmeric, most people know turmeric powder and had used it before. For Thai and Akha cooking, they used fresh turmeric root then the turmeric powder. You may see these ingredients in Tom Yum Soup, they look like sliced baby carrots.

Regarding fresh ingredients, if you can’t get the particular ingredients. Don’t worry! In our recipes already mentioned the substitution for it. Like Thai eggplant to make Green Curry or Red Curry, if Thai eggplant is unavailable, you can use your regular purple eggplants or add broccoli or cauliflower to the curries.
