You guys should do a series of an ingredient used in different cuisines...like tamarind in Thai and Indian cuisine. It would also explore what different techniques do to same ingredient as well as different combinations. I love this idea of mine.

I love how at first it seemed Chef was timid, but once she got into talking and teaching, she was a wealth of knowledge and in her comfort zone. Amazing guest!

[@SortedFood]

She really was amazing - love her food and her passion.

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

I think it's great you are talking about Chef's wealth of knowledge and what an amazing guest she was. I totally agree! Thought you might find it helpful to throw in the thought that one culture's timid/shy cues can be another culture's respectable and polite mannerisms when first meeting someone or even a mixture of both things. I'm not saying one way or the other in this instance, but it's something to consider when getting first impressions. For sure, she was quieter and less animated at first, but not sure about the "timid" or "shy." Cheers.

[@Cethinn]

Even the most shy people tend to love to tell people about things they're passionate about. I think that's what we are seeing here. She seems to love to cook.

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

@@Cethinn Yah, you're missing my point. She's not a shy person.

[@GrahamSmith1523]

My favourite guest to date.

[@Slaphappy1975]

As a Thai I can say you guys got lucky. Not very many people would bring Cha-om onto a show. It's quite a pungent plant used in dishes not often shown in the west. And the fact that she just pounded a namprik kapi for you fresh, wow. edit: I commented before I saw what she brought out for #3. My favourite, kaeng taipla. Double respect.

[@SortedFood]

We gave her an open book to bring things she thought would be new to us. The result was perfect. She was awesome!

[@karengreenfield7773]

In Queensland Australia cha-om it is classified as an invasive prohibited plant. You must not keep, move, give away, sell or release into the environment. Penalties may apply.

[@KhronicD]

@@karengreenfield7773 Yeah that's pretty common. As Ozzyland is basically a giant island, with a fairly varied and often "good" climate, so many different plants and animals thrive there that don't actually originate there. So it's really easy for things to come in and just drive existing species to extinction.

[@merryhermit4493]

@Noob7Zilla I feel you ,bro(or sis?).I am the only one dislike Cha-om, everyone around me is just crazy about it😂 Tho Nam-prik-ka-pi(the dipping paste)is my favouriteee😊 Also gang-tai-pla(3rd dish)is actually harmoniously tasteful even for someone who hates intestines so much,Yummerssssss

I’m a Thai person abroad and this ep just showed me the most authentic dishes that’s hard to find and make outside of Thailand. I’m crying. i love the omelette. We also use this omelette in a spicy curry soup called ‘Gang Som Khai Ch-Om’. Next time you can ask the chef to prepare you all kinds of ‘Gang Som’. it’s amazing dish you can put different ingredients in that. My favorite one is Gang Som with green papaya and shrimp.

[@merryhermit4493]

Even Gang Som has different variations.I prefer the one with southern paste which is spicier and I prefer bamboo shoot and fish over. And it’s sad that it’s 1.40am here in Bangkok ,I can’t get it while my mouth is watering 😢

[@utenatenjou2139]

@@merryhermit4493 Southern Thai Gang Som (Orange Colored Curry), if you were to order it as a dish in Bangkok, you might have better chance to get a correct one with Gang Leuang (Yellow Colored Curry) albeit no tamarind as an ingredient and a lot more spice.

[@prospero021]

Rice whiskey is not whiskey in the traditional sense but distilled white spirit made from rice that is 35-40 degrees. It is also the inspiration for Japanese awamori, and some brands still import rice from Thailand to make awamori to this day. April honey's name in Thai translates to 5th month honey (น้ำผึ้งเดือนห้า); the 5th month in the Thai lunar calendar falls aproximately in April. The reason it's the best is that it is the last month before monsoon so the weather is hot and dry, and honey tends to become sticker.

As a Thai, I can say that the centipede part of the thai moonshine is true. Actually, the recipe for Yadong (literary translated as fermented medicine) is very vary from village to village. In some places they would just put the herbs in. In the chinese settlement village you would find Yadong with chinese medicines, botanic, or herbs. Some even put sea horses or cobras instead of the centipede.

[@gamernick1533]

Whenever I mention having spent a lot of time in Thailand, people usually comment about how much they love Thai food. What most people don't realise is that, like other cuisines (Indian, Chinese etc), British restaurant Thai food is little to nothing like what you would have at home in Thailand and the major component that is never really translated is just how spicy the food can get. It's on another level and after a few months of being there, eating breakfast with namprik pao you can get used to it but it's not something we're used to, outside of the Friday night curry where someone tries to order the hottest thing on the menu. The sourness of a lot of food isn't usually in Thai/British cuisine either. I definitely miss sticky rice though! :D

[@cocoj126]

Thanks for inviting Chef Saiphin Moore. This was an interesting and enlightening experience.

[@_Claire_Louise_]

Me and my mum went to Rosa's near covent garden on a theatre weekend and were absolutely blown away! The food was amazing, so much better than standard 'british' Thai food that I've had other places

[@khoo7732]

Having learnt how to make some more authentic Thai recipes you have to really appreciate the delicate balance of flavours in their dishes. So easy to go a little too sour or sweet and it tastes wrong. These all look amazing, the omelette and dips appealed to me. Would love to see more!

[@magumaron9597]

The omelette dip is like Thai carbonara cause it is the most simple น้ำพริก or spicy dipping normally the spicy dipping need 4-5 or more spice in there but shrimp paste dipping you need only garlic and chili as spice +sweet,sour and salty thing But because it so simple it also eazy to ruin other spicy dip in Thai use roasted thing or lot of spice for smell but this you need shrimp paste and garlic you need to balance those two if garlic too much overwhelming shrimp you fuck up but if garlic is not strong enough to stop fishy smell of shrimp you also fuck up you don’t have any mint or roasted chili or onions or Chinese spice to buffering it

[@Janani_Kannan]

Ooh so happy to see tamarind and glad to see it used in other cuisines. In south India we use it almost everyday. I have fond childhood memories of eating ripe tamarind pods, straight off my grandfather's tree, in the village. They have a mouth puckering sourness, yet a pleasant sweetness. Those were lovely summers long gone.

[@b_uppy]

There is a nice tamarind drink you can buy in America that is tamarind flavored. One of my favorites.

That fish intestine fermentation sparked a memory. In ancient Rome they had a sauce they used by the ton called Garum, it was fish intestines mixed with salt and fermented in amphorae. It was basically the ketchup of the day and was used by nearly everyone in the empire and in surrounding lands for a very very long time.

Thank you to the team! I especially love Cha-om omelet myself and I hope more people get to try these dishes. Also there are many moreeeeeeee dishes for you guys to try.

[@tai2691997]

Hi, as a Thai I figured I'll give some more tidbits about ingredients in the video. The tamarind is usually use for a 'more gentle/mellow' source of acid/sourness, as opposed to lime (for example) which is a more direct/strong source of acid. Like palm sugar, which is also used as a more gentle sugar than white sugar. Tamarind and palm sugar is less processed therefore retain more delicate/nuanced flavours therefore it'll taste less harsh than its refined counterparts. People also eat cha-om raw with nam prik (other vegetables are available), it's a traditional meal here. Nam prik is way too strong on its own, so you need vegetables which are full of water to compensate. Also a way to eat more vegetables, we also have a ton more varieties of nam prik. I like lons (หลน) a lot, it's a less spicy dip that has coconut milk in it, usually has seafood in it (crab or shrimp), it's what I eat with vegetables as a child when I can't handle real nam priks yet lol. I'd wager most Southern food that real Southern people eats are way too spicy/hot for the average Thais (me included). The popular menus are kua gling (คั่วกลิ้ง) and gaeng leoung (แกงเหลือง). I remembered having it at a local spot in Phuket once, they have bucketloads of sliced cucumbers to fight the heat, it failed. And many Southern people talk shit about other regions all the time that their foods are so mild or bland, their chilies ain't got nothing on Southern chilies. They're right Now, that 'moonshine' thingy. I'd never considered drinking it because the herb names sounds so sketch (in Thai). Most of the names are just some variation of 'it'll make you so horny' like 'forever-erect' (โด่ไม่รู้ล้ม), 'power of the tiger' (กำลังเสือโคร่ง), 'stomping/raging stallion' (ม้ากระทืบโรง), 'reborn elder' (ไอ้เฒ่าคืนชีพ), etc. Now, apparently it's traditional Thai medicine, and that particular arm of the Ministry of Public Health supports it in moderation (it infused 40% ABV drink after all). I'll wait for somebody else to try it before me.....

And no matter how they joke around, there is always respect for the cuisines and traditions. Was smiling ear to ear at Jamie trying to keep his reactions in after tasting the fermented fish thing.

[@rhot2012]

You brought up an interesting point about fish and spice. One of my favorite dishes is a Mexican grilled whole fish with salsa. I love the contrast between the delicate fish and spicy sauce and there are many versions in Latin America.

didn't ask

I'm thai and I am proud of what you offer the culture and food folkness of Thailand

[@marymaryquitecontrary]

Interesting how Jamie tastes tentatively, like the item might bite him back, while Barry just shoves it right in his mouth and then carefully considers it.

[@magsimags]

but when sniffing something jamie has to practically shove the product up his nose. no timidness there

[@mhewwariya2395]

Omg Chef Saiphin is brilliant! I have so much respect for her and admire how she explained the food very well in a way that foreigners can have a better understanding. Kang-tai-pla, cha-om, namprik-kapi are all my favs! 😋 My dad usually cooks these dishes for us and they still give me joy every single time.

[@tropicalennui]

I've have only read of cha-om in recipes and never seen it even though I live in the northern tropical region of australia. i learned to make thai food for my husband, because the food that we get in restaurants isn't what he actually used to eat regularly. super happy to see things like nam prik kapi and southern thai fish curry being featured here. can't wait to track down some ya dong!

[@heartshapedisle]

Cha-om is on the Qld Govt environmental weeds list so it must be around.

I love these episodes where you bring someone in that's a native from the country and they show things a majority of us never heard of. I learnt so much this episode. Never knew the tamarind fruit looked like that.

Happy Sunday to SortedFood HQ and the Community! So happy to see Thai Food. Definitely sending to people I know.

[@kwanforsberg8166]

Oh I'm so happy to see this! Usually when I see a video titled "authentic" something I expect a bad reaction when someone try something new. Thank you for being so open minded. As a Thai I really appreciate that she brought something that people don't usually see, it brings new light to our culture. I can only hope that people try more new things and enjoy real authentic parts of the world. Thank you again for making these videos and I look forward to see more educational videos like these:)

I love this. I love how SORTED is committed to exploring cuisines by inviting experts and people of color onto the show and demonstrating their knowledge instead of other channels who may simply learn from the experts behind the scenes, but never bring the expert in front of the camera. Thank you for improving representation of diverse chefs!

[@lilpixie25]

Rosa is lovely, I love the traditions she shared. I can't wait to visit either her restaurant or her country and try some of it myself!

[@ayumikurenai]

In Mexico, Tamarindo is used as drinks, soda, and candy's. Jamie biting right into it made my mouth water.

[@sodapopmermaid7897]

I know 😂 I’ve never run to my pantry so fast. I needed tamarind candy in solidarity

[@elz37]

¡Cállate los ojos! El Pulparindo 🤤

[@clampypinku5151]

I think that is a sweet tamarind, the sour one will look more flatter (but she use sour tamarind to cook)

[@Nooticus]

Far and away one of the best videos and guests in a long long long time. Keep this up!

[@mohammadrezakarimi8180]

Saiphin was really really nice! Please have her more on the show :)

[@keelyquinn2374]

I just really appreciate that you all want to learn from experts on specific cuisines. Now let’s see you do the Mexican week of great British bake off properly.

[@DocFunkenstein]

I like that she's totally a grandmother trying to feed everyone. "No no, I make dipping sauce naow!"

[@k.johnson8768]

So glad the episode turned around - I almost stopped watching after chef told Jamie “Not to use tamarind paste as a marinade” I have had it in a marinade before and it was good! Sorted is my favorite channel! Thanks boys!😊

[@endeavour4489]

Hi guys! With the World Cup coming up, it’d be super cool to see some footballing food that can be cooked around watching a game, so something that could be prepped before and then cooked in half time, or that takes 45-ish minutes to cook to be put in before the match starts! Maybe a battle?

[@ploytatchi]

Thank you Chef Saiphin for bringing SUPER authentic ingredients and unique dishes to the show! As a Thai I eat Cha-om omelette quite often, go great with namprik-kapi. For Kaen Tai-Pla and Ya-dong only sometimes as they are quite strong (even for Thais lol).

[@JaySay]

Love these videos, it's always fascinating learning about other cuisines and ways to incorporate it into something you can feasibly make at home. Thai is definitely something I'm not acquainted with, so seeing it on the channel after so many years is a breath of fresh air! Unlike that fermented fish guts...😬

[@pw0198]

Yesss!!! Thai food finally🎉❤ been watching from Thailand for a long time. Really glad to see all the authenticity of my homeland on this internation scale

[@gigglechu]

Love watching you try new ingredients~!!!

[@SortedFood]

Good, as we LOVE trying out new and interesting ingredients too! 😃
