In Thai cuisine rice and fish are everyday staples and form a major part of almost every meal. Thai rice noodles are also popular but here they can also be made with wheat flour and mung bean flour. However, it is fish that is used most often in Thai cuisine and in addition to raw or cooked fish many seafood products such as fish sauce and shrimp paste are very popular.

Another important facet of Thai cooking is attempt to maintain balance between the five major tastes which are sweet, sour, hot, bitter and salty. Great importance is given to these fundamental tastes and a meal or a dish is supposed to balance all of them.
