Traditional Thai cooking uses boiling, roasting, or baking methods to process food. Later, it introduced stir-frying and deep-frying methods influenced by Chinese cuisine. Its inspiration comes from China, India, and Iran (formerly Persia). By the late 17th century, cooking methods were influenced by Portugal, the Netherlands, France, and Japan, taking culinary techniques to a higher level. In 1660, the Portuguese consul introduced chili as an ingredient to Thailand. Later, Thai cuisine was also introduced to South America and other regions.
Key features of Thai cuisine: Strong Southeast Asian style, a blend of diverse ethnic cultures, a sauce culture, the use of natural and simple ingredients, and a free-spirited philosophy of eating.
