25 delicious Thai recipes

Even before the coronavirus pandemic, global cooking trends were showing an uptick in people cooking at home. Gallup and Cookpad's latest report published Dec. 17, 2020, showed that through 2019, a growing number of people around the world were cooking at home rather than going out or eating pre-cooked meals.

In the U.S., the swelling popularity of at-home meal prep subscriptions from Blue Apron to Hello Fresh! and the growing prevalence of grocery delivery underscore a renewed interest in prepping meals at home. Then as COVID-19 spread, mandatory restaurant shutdowns and capacity limits drove a dramatic jump in home cooking—not to mention demand for recipes and sales of things like yeast and kitchen appliances.

The Thai population in the U.S. has doubled since the turn of the 21st century, helping to fuel an expansion of Thai restaurants and adoption of Thai cuisine across the country. Thai food staples—from Pad Thai and spring rolls to rice and a variety of delicious soups—center around a handful of specific oils and spices, many of which are now available at local grocers.

If you're looking to get out of an at-home cooking rut and seeking out new flavor profiles and dishes to try, Stacker compiled a list of Thai recipes from Allrecipes. Keep reading to see if any of your favorites made the list
