Common preparations include potato shreds, braised potatoes with meat, mashed potatoes, and french fries. The main ingredient is potatoes, with optional seasonings such as scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers added according to taste.

Thai Chicken SauceThai chicken sauce is a sauce made primarily with chicken, combined with coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, chili, and lemongrass. The chicken is usually marinated first, then pan-fried or boiled, and mixed with the prepared sauce to create a rich flavor. During preparation, a blender is often used to puree the ingredients into a paste, ensuring the flavors blend evenly.

It can be eaten raw as the main ingredient in salads or combined with various seasonings and sauces to enhance flavor. Additionally, lettuce is often used to wrap or decorate other foods, such as grilled meats and burgers.

Balsamic VinegarAged vinegar is a seasoning made from grains through a fermentation process, with main ingredients including sorghum, rice, or wheat.

The finished product is typically aged and filtered, resulting in a clear color and rich, mellow flavor.
