Zest in the Dish
Along with herbs and spices, there are various sauces and other specialty ingredients essential to authentic Thai cooking that may be new to you. While some will be available at your local grocery store, others can be found only at Asian markets or specialty stores.
Most Thai recipes will call for a base of onions or, more often, shallots. Shallots are high in potassium and have a slightly different flavor compared to onions - they also cook faster, which makes them a great addition to curry pastes. Garlic and chillies (red, green, and yellow) are used in generous amounts in the Thai kitchen, and should always be purchased fresh, not bottled.
When preparing a Thai meal, there are several sauces you will need to have on hand. Depending on the dish (and which region it comes from), fish sauce is as important (or more important) than soy sauce in Thai cooking.
