In Thai cooking, how much of a difference does it make to use Soy Sauce instead of Fish Sauce? I have lived in Thailand for 2 years and have eaten my share of Thai food!.........LOL I notice in Thailand Thais use fish sauce instead of Soy sauce. Now I am back in the States. When I cook Thai food, since I have Soy sauce available in my house I use it instead. I could always go to the store and buy a bottle of fish sauce, but in my opinion why bother since I have Soy sauce? (which contains plenty of sodium as it is!). Am I robbing my Thai dishes of flavor? or it does not make that much of a difference? I would appreciate it if Thai people could answer this as well. Kap Kun Krap! Thanks.

Thai cooking - Egg shells as an ingredient? I've got an excellent book on authentic thai cooking that I just can't wait to use. As with many cookbooks, I read this one cover to cover to find out what was in it and get a feel for the themes of thai cooking - what veggies, seasonings or meats they use predominately. A couple of the recipies involve crushing eggshells and mixing them with other ingredients and sort of steeping them in hot water and then straining the juice off to use in the dish. My question is: What job do the eggshells perform in the dish - do they add a flavor or do they do something for consistency (and if so, how does it work scientifically?) . Thanks !

How to cook Thai food? For dinner I'll be making sticky basmati rice, Green Curry and Miso Soup. Any tips on cooking Thai food? This will be my first time. Only Asian thing I've done before was sautéing bok choy with spices, which turned out perfect. Yes, Miso is Japanese... I'm doing an Asian mix 'cause I'm crazy like that. ^-^ So, yeah... basically just asking about the Curry. I would think it'd be a hard dish to do. I'm not sure. I didn't get to these responses before I did the curry. (I skipped the miso for another time.) It came about nearly perfect, actually. And I have plenty ingredients left to do green curry again (better next time), so I'll be sure to come here. Thanks to all for answering!
