The story behind it

Where Gaeng Som comes from

Gaeng Som is the opposite of what is considered Thai curry in the West: no coconut milk, no oil, no creaminess. A clear, spicy, and sour broth in which fish and vegetables are poached.

It is an everyday dish — cooked with whatever is on hand, and slightly different in almost every region.
