  • Choose the right rice: Jasmine rice is the traditional rice used in Thai cuisine, but you can also use basmati or long-grain white rice.
  • Toast the rice before cooking: Toasting the rice before cooking helps bring out its nutty flavor and prevents it from becoming sticky.
  • Use a good quality fish sauce: Fish sauce is a key ingredient in Thai cooking and adds a salty, savory flavor to the rice. Look for a fish sauce that is made from anchovies or sardines and that is not too strong.
