Thai One On!

Every couple months we feel the urge to go on a Thai food bender. There's something about the beautiful simplicity of Pad Thai and Curry (whether Red, Yellow or Green) that makes us march back to our favorite Thai restaurants again and again and again.

We always thought Thai food was too complicated to make at home. Surprise, surprise, that's not the case. Recipes, like the ones below, contain plenty of great tips and shortcuts. Cooking great Thai food is all about assembling and chopping the ingredients beforehand (chefs use the French term, mise en place) so you can add them to the dish in rapid succession. Plus, tons of great Thai products are available at grocery stores across the country.

To find the best Thai recipes from across the Web, we powered up the FoodPair search engine and found some great options that are tasty and versatile from great sites like Steamy Kitchen, Cookstr and Epicurious.
