One of the key ingredient in a lot of thai and viet food is fish sauce. They put it in almost all there food. Don't get turned off by the name, it does smell fishy from the bottle, but after cooking it with food, it's not fish at all, and it taste wonderful. Another ingredient is lime. You could find all the ingredient you need for thai food in your local asian market.
