Thai

Thai cuisine uses fresh ingredients with exotic spices to add incredible flavor and interest. This cuisine uses a lot of coconut oil and milk, so keep your portions small to control calories. For healthier Thai options, consider:

• Fresh spring rolls

• Broth based dishes instead of heavy curries

• Steamed tofu instead of fried

• Tom yum goong (hot and sour shrimp soup)

• Khanom chin namya (rice noodles topped with fish and vegetables)

• Phat khi mao  (noodles stir-fried with Thai basil)

• Pad Thai (noodles stir-fried with ground peanuts, bean sprouts, egg, tofu and scallions)

• Steamed brown rice instead of fried or white rice

• Khao neow kaew (sweet sticky rice)

• Fruit ice or fruits like mango and pineapple
