Sauce

A Thai sauce is what balances a dish — fish sauce for salt, palm sugar for round, lime or tamarind for sour, chile for cut. Sirinya Phimpha will tell you the mortar is the tool. Wilai Chumphon will tell you which curry paste to make first.

Sauce sits under Cook › Thai in the HowTo Food menu. Guides for this section are still being brought over from the original edition.
