A glimpse in the kitchen

Menu card
When you open a menu in Thailand, you immediately notice the enormous amount of different dishes. The most famous ones are: Tom Yam soup, a sour-spicy soup, often prepared with shrimps; Tom Kha soup, a mildly creamy coconut soup, often prepared with chicken; Massaman curry, a (mostly) non-spicy curry with various herbs; Som Tam, a salad of unripe papaya, and finally Pad Thai, fried rice noodles with bean sprouts and shrimps.

Varied flavours
Thai food is often associated with spicy. This is only partly true. The enormous variety of flavors and ingredients is precisely why Thai cuisine is so popular. Sweet, sour, salty, spicy and occasionally bitter, there is always something for everyone. This variety is the result of influences from the various corners of the world around Thailand. For example, soy products and (rice) noodles originate from China, the coconut-flavoured curries from India, and the coconut-flavoured curries from Sumatra and Cambodia.
-
Rice as a basis
The basis of Thai cuisine is rice, in all shapes and sizes and in every conceivable way prepared, steamed, fried, cooked, as soup, as sticky rice, or processed into noodles, for example. The rice is either processed in the dish, or served separately with it. Almost all ingredients in the dishes are fresh. Little oil is used and the meals are prepared in a short time on high heat. These are all reasons why Thai cuisine is generally considered healthy.

Vegetarian cuisine
Despite the fact that many Thai dishes contain chicken, duck, pork, beef, fish, shrimps or other seafood, Thai cuisine is also suitable for vegetarians. Because of the composition of the dishes and the way they are prepared, it is very easy to omit the ingredients that are undesirable for vegetarians and possibly replace them with other products. ONOFF SPICES has therefore not added any fish sauce or oyster sauce to all its curries, soups or wok sauces, making them suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Two of our sambal products are also suitable for vegetarians.
ONOFF SPICES makes natural and organic ready-to-use Thai soups, curry pastes and wok sauces for European gourmets. The production is sustainable, with an eye for nature.
