Stir-Frying as a Healthier Option
Stir-frying is known as generally being a healthier option for eating Thai food. You can use one of the healthier oils, such as canola or even olive oil. Typically, canola oil is the healthier option you find in Thai food if you want to be a purist. You can adapt by using any vegetables you prefer.
