The Foundation of Thai Cooking: Rice & Noodles

It's about that perfect cocoon of jasmine rice which releases its distinct floral fragrance, and those brittle-thin strands of rice transforming into silky ribbons for pad thai. This is how we celebrate these building blocks at Foodstories—the Thai Rice & Noodles Collection—to serve the grains and strands as canvases for Thailand's bold, balanced flavors.

The Heart of Thai Cuisine: Not Just for Dinner

These things actually form the foundation of Thai cuisine: rice and noodles are supposed to be common factor which binds things together against the strong flavor profile of the country. Jasmine rice falls as a neutral background for those fiery curries, rice noodles have lot of options, from wide ribbons for pad thai to delicate absorbing aromatic broths.

These ingredients bear the heritage of centuries of evolving culinary skills, where the Thai cook learns to make complete meals by pairing perfectly cooked starches and other herbs, spices, sauces, and so on. Sources trust these essentials from real producers who respect these traditional methods.

Cooking Ideas and Pairing Tips: Mastering Thai Techniques

Jasmine rice: Cook using a 1:1.5 rice to water ratio—bring to a boil and simmer covered for 18 minutes. Rice noodles: Place in warm water for 5-10 minutes or until pliable, drain, and stir fry immediately. Glass noodles: They need only about 3-4 minutes in boiling water.

Prepare all ingredients before beginning to heat your wok—the noodle should be soaked but firm at the beginning of cooking. For rice-paper rolls, the dipped sheets must be put into warm water for a second or two, until softened, and then fill right away. You can also store cooked rice for up to three days for a quick fried rice meal.
