I know that you're both wrong about the sugar. You're not cooking real Thai if you're dumping sugar in things. Any time you add sugar to anything it should be some grated palm sugar, and that's certainly not with every savory dish.

Any sweetness in authentic Thai and Laotian dishes comes from the use of fruits, leaves, and seeds.

Literally doesn't exist elsewhere in the world. The only reason I tried it was because I wanted to try some when I visited Texas. Burritos are messy, soggy, and full of dry rice. Salsa is too spicy and crisps break off easily. Tamales are gross and the tortilla was bland and hard to chew. You have to be really deluded if you think people actually hype this up.
