Thai cooking balances four things — hot, sour, salty, sweet — and the balancing happens at the end, by taste, not at the start by recipe. That is the part worth learning: a curry that tastes flat almost always needs fish sauce or lime rather than more paste. Most of these dinners come together in minutes once the prep is done, which makes the chopping the real meal-planning question.
