This innovation transforms traditional Southern Thai dishes into semi-instant, shelf-stable products using microwave-assisted drying. It produces dried noodles, instant fish curry powder, and dry stir-fry sauce while preserving authentic flavor and quality. With high-barrier packaging and a 12-month shelf life, the products become export-ready and support wider market access. Microwave drying plus long-term stability creates a new premium category of Southern Thai instant foods.
