Traditional Thai cooking methods are steaming, baking or grilling. Due to Chinese influence, methods of pan-frying, stir-frying and deep-frying were introduced. Since the 17th century, cooking methods have been influenced by Portugal, Holland, France and Japan. In the late 17th century, Portuguese missionaries in South America became accustomed to the flavor of red chili peppers and introduced them to Thai cuisine.
