Southern Thai Curries: Ground into yellow curry pastes (Gaeng Som or Southern Gaeng Lueang) to produce an earthy, fiery broth without turning the curry red or muddy. Bright Table Condiments: Sliced into vinegar to make Prik Nam Som, offering an eye-catching neon-yellow contrast alongside noodle soups and fried rice. Seafood Stir-Fries: Pounded with garlic for stir-fries like Pad Cha or steamed fish dishes, where its citrus undertones complement white fish and shellfish. Fresh Garnish & Pickling: Sliced into thin diagonal rings or iced curls to contrast greens and dark sauces on meat and poultry platters.
