Easy Thai recipes

Easy khao soi
Chiang Mai khao soi is a comforting curry noodle soup found everywhere in Thailand, from humble street stalls to family-run restaurants.
Crispy five-grain Thai-style salad
This zingy salad makes a simple midweek dinner. The mixture of high-fibre grains promotes digestion and helps you to feel full.
Thai pumpkin curry (gaeng fak thong)
Make the most of seasonal pumpkins or butternut squash in this Thai curry, flavoured with dill, fish sauce and homemade red and green chilli paste.
Thai-style chicken satay skewers
These juicy skewers are packed with flavour from a marinade combining peanut butter, Thai red curry paste, zingy ginger and lime. Served with a fresh carrot and cucumber pickle, they are perfect for throwing on the barbecue this summer.
Thai green fish curry
Perk up your midweek meal with flaky chunks of fish cooked in creamy coconut milk and mild Thai green curry paste, ready in just 10 minutes.
Sweet Thai basil smash cocktail
Make your own sweet Thai basil smash cocktail, invented by the folk at Rosa's Thai cafe in London. All you need is an egg white, lemon juice, Thai basil, sugar syrup and a lot of booze.
Larb muang (Thai chopped pork salad)
Experience bold Thai flavours with Larb Muang, a vibrant chopped pork salad bursting with garlic, crispy shallots and spiced chillies. Perfect for sharing, this easy dish is served hot with sticky rice or lettuce cups.
Thai-style fishcakes with sweet and sour cucumber pickle
Thai fishcakes make a brilliant snack or starter as you can fry them in advance and keep warm in the oven. The easy cucumber pickle adds an extra Thai-style touch.
Crying tiger beef salad (yum nua seua rong hai)
Enjoy the bold, spicy and tangy flavours of crying tiger beef salad, a Thai special-occasion dish. Tender grilled sirloin sits on crisp lettuce, dressed with a zesty lime and chilli sauce.
Thai red curry paste
Shop-bought jars are widely available, but it's always worth creating your own fragrant, spicy curry paste if you can. Try our version here.
Aubergine Thai jungle curry
This aubergine Thai jungle curry is low-calorie and ready in just 20 minutes, making a great, satisfying option for midweek.
Thai-style cauli larb salad
This recipe takes the textures and flavours of a larb salad (usually made with minced chicken or pork) but gives it a veggie twist with cauliflower and some red chilli thrown in for an extra kick of flavour. You can also swap the fish sauce for soy to make it vegan, if you like.
Thai scotch eggs
Lap-fai Lee’s Thai scotch eggs (or sai oua), are the perfect accompaniment to your Thai-style feast. With bursts of lemongrass, red curry paste and sweet chilli sauce, these are scotch eggs with deep flavours to boot.
Thai rice porridge with pork meatballs (jok moo)
This savoury Thai-style porridge is flavoured with ginger, chilli oil and spring onions, then topped with punchy pork meatballs.
Thai-style corn cakes with pickled cucumbers
These corn cakes are quick to whip up and make the best canapés. Using fresh corn makes all the difference. Serve with pickled cucumber.
Prawn massaman curry
Massaman curry comes from southern Thailand and is not as fiery as green or red Thai curries. We love the fragrant flavours and the texture that the peanuts add. Check out our best curry ideas, we have plenty.
Thai-style watermelon salad
Watermelon stands in for green papaya in this update of a Thai classic. It’s best to buy a whole watermelon and use the flesh closest to the skin as this tends to be a bit firmer. See more refreshing summer salads here.
Thai red curry mussels
This recipe is a great new way to serve mussels. It's a really easy dish to make, is ready in just 30 minutes and is under 300 calories but is still packed with flavour and a great chilli kick.
Jackfruit massaman curry
A tin of jackfruit (which you can pick up at almost any supermarket) is the magic ingredient in this vegan massaman curry, served with salted peanuts.
Thai green chicken curry
Try our delicious green curry recipe from Victoria Moore that shows you how to make the curry paste from scratch so that the fresh, vibrant flavours really come through.
Kohlrabi and crab salad
Check out our punchy Thai-style recipe with white crabmeat and kohlrabi. This simple salad is easy to make, low in calories and ready in just 15 minutes.
Beef massaman curry
This slow cooked Thai curry is wonderfully rich and mild enough for the whole family to enjoy. Serve with jasmine rice to soak up the juices.
Asparagus with crunchy noodles
This recipe takes a little more effort but is worth it and is a great new way to use asparagus. Use soy sauce instead of fish sauce for a veggie option.
Thai-style sea bass with noodle salad
Our light, fragrant, Thai-inspired noodle salad with sea bass is a delicious lighter meal. Sea bass has a superb slight sweet, meatier texture which works really well in this dish.
Pickled greens with cloud ear mushrooms
Hot, sour and sweet, this recipe would be a great addition to any Thai meal. Garnish with coriander and serve the remaining dressing on the side for extra drizzling.
Healthier pad Thai
This low-cal recipe is packed with Thai flavours and uses courgette instead of normal noodles. It's really easy to make, ready in under 30 minutes and well under 300 calories, perfect for midweek.
Crab fried rice with prik nam pla
Spice up your rice with crab, broccoli and prik nam pla – a punchy Thai-style dipping sauce.
