Chili Garlic Chicken - My Broken Fridge Meal

[@geoffreydawes897]

Hello Pailin, I am from Switzerland and I would like to compliment you on your Channel, your recipies and your tips and hacks. As you can imagine obtaining all the ingredients for your recipies is not easy here. Have to buy most of it online. But that aside I have alredy made a lot of your Recipies and I cannot believe how good they are. You are a genius at cooking. But the best thing I have learnt here is how to eat Thai food. Instead of smothering the food in the sauce like westerners do, just put the rice in a bowl and spoon in a little bit of the sauce at a time. Doing it this way I can manage the spiceyness a whole lot better. Yesterday I made Tamarind Shrimp with 2 green and 2 red Thai chilliess and cannot remember ever having a better dinner. Thank you and keep cooking.

Love the gems of wisdom and hacks I learn from this channel! I used to think for a meal to be good I had to make it the traditional way that my mom cooks. While that is all well and good and has its place, it’s very time consuming and sometimes you put in so much effort and it’s not worth all the trouble. I’ve truly learned so many ways to think about cooking with what I have, how to pair certain ingredients and techniques to make a tasty meal and adapt it in all kinds of ways from these videos. Thanks as always for sharing your wisdom, can’t wait to try this with the pork i have in my freezer right now!

[@Mixxie67]

I’m always so happy to see a new recipe from you.

[@grotmx]

I ❤️ Hot Thai Chicken!

[@gaolong7153]

this may sound weird but i think this may be myu favourite recipe of yours, it's so simple yet undeniably delicious, and for me the use of chilli flake makes it less thai but universal somehow. Absolutely love it.

[@johnr1348]

That does look delicious! I love how simple it is.... Thank You Pai

[@ahnanda68]

My mom somehow managed during the spring time with no refrigerator or freezer. I would love to give you my refrigerator! How frustrating seriously utility issues here but resourcefulness is the best! I got pretty ambitious with fire in the house got to be careful 🤯 thanks for the enthusiasm because pretty much the chicken looks great but your smile is priceless❤

[@zippity888]

Nothing better than to wake up on a Saturday morning With a new video .. 🎉 thank you 🙏

[@Alfwin]

I woke up early this morning and realized I was very hungry. As luck would have it, I had just about all the ingredients for this, so this was _very_ well-timed! Only thing I didn't have was oyster sauce (I can't find a brand I like here) so I just substituted some more fish sauce.

[@VicBattlefield]

Sawaddee krup Khun Pailin! I always put stuff that needs refrigerating out on the balcony in winter when it’s cold outside. And now that it’s pretty cold here in Europe I always cool my beverages, fruits and veggies out there when my tiny fridge gets too full. Thank you for the recipe!😉

[@UberAaron78]

Long-time subscriber and I was excited to see Uncle Roger review your Pad Thai video! I would love to see you reacting to his react! Weeee!

[@daguitarman808]

You are officially auntie Pailin from Uncle Roger..... congratulations 🎉. If I were you I would wear your wedding 💍 cause Uncle Roger is looking 😂

[@telomeke3157]

Fabulous! Everyone who cooks most of their meals needs a roster of recipes for dishes we can whip up quickly just out of the freezer and storecupboard, and yet doesn't compromise on health or taste (because there's no point cooking something the fam won't eat or is bad for them). Not many recipes can do that - but this one ticks all the boxes! I'm saving this recipe 🤩😍💖

[@conquer791]

THANKS FOR ANOTHER GOOD RECIPE FOR OUR FAMILY.

[@josephinewang5932]

I'm here because of Uncle Roger's review. Subscribed and will keep watching your videos. Great work! :)

[@DanZayza-ib3ti]

congrats on the recent, well deserved auntie title!!!! (uncle roger approved pad thai)

[@DaleLawrence_leadingtrends]

A perfect easy dish for me! I always have loads of garlic, chicken thighs in freezer, fish sauce & soy sauce. While I always have a cannister of crushed chili (100% Ot Bot), I know how much heat just 1 spoonful can add, so I will add the volume by adding another of my favorite spices called red garlic (dried crushed red jalapeno with roasted garlic) since it is milder. Thanks for this recipe idea. Also, thanks for the idea of rooting Thai Basil -- I am always frustrated by how quick it dries out or goes off before I can use it all.

[@priscillarodrigues7679]

I made this today!!! OMG!!! It‘s fantastic 🎉

[@ScienceBoy-e7f]

❤Chili garlic chicken is a good combination

[@hardvice]

OMG Pai. I just made this and it’s amazing (of course!) but I had my own “make do” moment when I realized that I didn’t actually have any chicken thighs left in either the fridge or the freezer (whoops). What I did have was… a bag of Costco frozen breaded chicken nuggets. Guess what? Still amazing! I did add a little chicken bouillon powder to the sauce to make up for not having the fond from cooking the chicken and at the suggestion of many commenters here, I opted for gochugaru and it was perfect. Definitely making it the right way next time, but this was a surprisingly great save.

[@padders1068]

Pai! Looks delicious and so simple! 🙂😋❤

[@IvanValerioCortesi]

My hubby and my self we are hungry again... my God looks so good , again thank you for your video

[@Itadakiman]

Watched the video, prepared the dish, eating it now. Wow ❤

[@jeffking9202]

This looks very good!

[@doankelly]

You have the best recipes!!

[@mrfrankdoss]

Yummy!!! my mouth is salivating and my tummy grumbling

[@evasenechal8735]

Hmmm! Will totally try that with loads of gochugaru! Cannot wait!

[@YouTubetail]

Delicious cook 😊

[@michaelogden5958]

Two weeks with a broken fridge. I thought that condition was reserved for where I live... beyond the outskirts of the boonies. I'm going to try your recipe! It looks like a minimal-fuss affair! BTW... since I have an electric stove, I bought one of those single-burner butane/propane burners. Highly recommended for electric-bound folks. It's the perfect thing for wok-ing. Cheers!

[@usaneebeilles9510]

Awesome recipe. Looking good! Yummm.

[@colbygill1976]

Your chilli garlic noodles is one of my most-cooked dishes, it is absolutely amazing. Which reminds me, I am out of my homemade chilli powder so I will have to make some more 😊

[@PokeHomie]

looks so good Auntie Pailin

[@frankschwartz7405]

Mmmmm...mmmm....mmmmm! My fridge isn't broken, but I have all the stuff.

[@andrewsasala6841]

One of my favorite recipes from you is a chili garlic pasta, I’ve got to try this new chicken recipe with those noodles on the side and burn my mouth off, happily!

[@jasminnat]

Thank you. The chicken looks yummy. 😍

[@ardemisaguirre8088]

Tks for this decision recipe 😊

[@meghan6349]

looks amazing - making it this weekend

[@Keichan2501]

That's a really nice kitchen setup.

[@bkm2797]

Looks delicious Pailin, didn’t know you could purchase mild chili flakes, I thought there was only one level of heat, learned something new😉. Sorry your fridge is down, went through the same thing twice, they make them poorly these days which is so wrong. Hope it’s fixed or replaced by this posting. Thank you for another tasty recipe.💕👍

[@airman8368]

Well, the chicken thighs defrosting in my kitchen right now were going to be used for kraw pow, but I'm going to give this one a try. Looks so simple and delicious. Kob khun na kap 🙏.

[@ianhaggerty2152]

Thank you Pailin! This one is really up my ally. Need to re-up my oyster sauce supply 😋

[@iMontemo]

Thank you for this great recipe 😍

[@shankar9553]

Delicious 🤤

[@nicholassoto2933]

[@bean-pod]

Oooooo Ive been looking for something to get rid of my frozen chicken ❤ THANK YOU!!

[@Liftinglinguist]

I do a variant of this, where I don't add sugar, but put in lemon curd instead. Simple but flavorful!

[@DapurOmNod]

Chili garlic chicken looks really delicious

[@bnc9261]

What alternatives are there to fish and oyster sauces, for people like me who are allergic to fish & shellfish?

[@orientalmoons]

There is a plant based alternative to both, the oyster sauce is also called mushroom stir fry sauce or vegetarian stir fry sauce. Pailin also suggests soy sauce as a fish sauce substitute.

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

Hi Adam here and this might help? hot-thai-kitchen.com/thai-ingredients/ :) Cheers!

[@danutagajewski3330]

This sounds like the perfect solution for my next "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" dinner (my son, who visits once a week, loves spicy food, I'm middle of the road, and my husband's idea of spice is adding pepper!). Thank you, Pailin❣

[@steveforbes7718]

I just had dinner and you made me hungry again! ARRRRRRGH!!! No Thai peppers? IT'S NOT THAI!!!! LOL It's even better when you take Thai peppers and Holy Basil off of the plants just before cooking. Yep! I have a number of those plants growing inside for the upcoming winter!

[@LymanPhillips]

"Im not that ambitious" - God. I love this woman, she's realistic.

[@5SnrApostleNathan]

❤ Delicious 😋

[@alextseng3852]

You could freeze coconut milk with an icecube tray

[@TamHuynh-xj6jn]

Very smart recipe. But can you tell us what to do with the food in the bridge that about to go bad if the bridge is broken? Did you quickly throw everything in the freezer? Did you manage to save some ingredients?

[@TerrySmith1953]

This looks great! Has Vancouver's appliance service industry let you down Pai?🤥

[@aprillen]

I am all in favour of simple yet delicious dishes! I have quite a lot of gochugaru that needs using up, that should work well for this since it's pretty mild compared to the Thai chilli flakes I can find here 🤔

[@abavariannormiepleb9470]

I can recommend also adding ginger at the garlic step and using duck fat as the cooking oil. Simple steps to elevate this recipe further.

[@nlokteff]

Looks great! Do you think Korean Gochgaru would be mild enough?

[@-RONNIE]

Too bad about the refrigerator I hope you get it fixed soon also this was a really good video

[@mon6745]

Broken fridges are literally the worst - hope everything is fixed or replaced soon 💛

[@Hypnophiliac]

Hi Pailin, Love your channel and books. I'm wondering if you have recommendations for Thai food to bring to a potluck? I love your Laab recipe but I'm not sure how well it will hold up to transport/reheating. Thanks!

[@lenapawlek7295]

Good luck with your fridge!!!

[@RahulShah87]

Do you have a recommended substitute for oyster sauce? Unfortunately, makes me feel sick :(. Video looks great! Super excited to try it out!

[@wichpasgangate854]

Sawasdee Kub 🙏🏼😊

[@tamama16]

Hi Pai, is it ok to use Korean chili powder (gochugaru) for this recipe? Any need to adjust the amount? Thank you!

[@tmatiu207]

Congratulations Aunty Pailin. Uncle Roger approved your Pad Thai. ❤

[@kazuragi895]

Aunty pailin, making out ancestors smiling - uncle roger

[@malcontent_1]

I hope you do a collab with Flo Lum, someday. She also lives in Vancouver.

[@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1]

Looks yummy!!! I'm diabetic. Is there an artificial sweetener I can use instead of sugar?

[@malcontent_1]

Try _Lakanto Classic_ - it's a monk fruit + erythritol sweetener that has _net _*_zero_*_ carbs_ due to the natural sugar alcohol. It has a neutral/sweet taste. I use ~⅔ to ~½ as much as called for in your recipe.

[@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1]

​@@malcontent_1 Thanks!

[@CB-zv9cl]

I haaaate that my next Thailand trip isn't until April next yearrrrrrrr 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@midlifemom5829]

If i use chicken breast, how do i tenderize it beforehand and where can i purchase your wide wood spatula? Thank u!

[@dambition7495]

What is the brand and model of stove do you use here?

[@kaybegley9566]

I like your wooden spatula. Where did you get it?

[@phoenixr6811]

Yum 🤗

[@rolfkarneman6564]

It was partially a new technique to me. I would use more garlic i think. Can never have enough of the smell from hot oil and garlic.

[@TracyKMainwaring]

My oyster and soy sauce are in the fridge. The oyster sauce says to refrigerate. Are there some you don’t have to?

[@bertmanize]

Pad Krapau 2.0, yummy!😛

[@dattaxpony920]

[@citywitt3202]

Uncle Roger sent me, and I’m very impressed.

[@parefnyman4739]

Nice ❤❤❤

[@biglog5112]

Have you tried this recipe with butter? This reminds me of Garlic Butter Shrimp, but with Thai spices that we love.

[@Skadingflyfly]

I am your new subscriber 🥰🥰Weeeeeeeee.

[@dadarmwn]

Yesterday I cooked chicken with almost similar ingredients. There was chicken leftover in my fridge that already marinated with pre-made spice mix, and I cut it into bite size. I coated the chicken with some corn starch, so it was like chicken popcorn. For the "sauce", I used just garlic and a handful of bird's eye chili and ginger. I chop them finely and stir fry. I added fish sauce, sugar, and oyster sauce, but I didn't add water. The sugar caramelized perfectly so the sauce stick to the chicken, but it wasn't sweet at all. I added lime juice to balance the flavor 😋

[@mobadisko]

fuiyooohh Aunty Pailin weeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[@Becausing]

I make a similar preparation when I have a weird amount of gochugaru left in a bag!

[@cherrymukbangasmr]

❤❤❤

The Broken Fridge Kitchen also

[@Azshmo]

Wait... where did the thawed chicken come from?

[@hulk791]

Auntie Pailin

[@plabanadhikary]

Hello nephew hulk😂

[@fernbedek6302]

... does soy sauce not need to be refrigerated?

[@karendegraaf3572]

Holy Cow! Get the fridge fixed! How long can one live without coconut milk, tofu, etc??? 😂😯

[@hotsauce0606]

How about a kai dao on top 🤤

[@nicko6710]

Aunty Pailin wee...

[@Myfoodyside2004]

Any veg thai recipes please

[@sactownism]

Uncle Roger brought me to your channel

[@donnguyen2517]

My fridge actually broke a month ago 😂

[@530mnorman]

Wait, I thought I was supposed to keep oyster sauce in the fridge? Or is that only if you're going to keep it a long time? Was that a fib and that stayed cold somewhere else or can that really stay in the pantry?

[@TheMarcusFoy]

You can keep the oyster sauce outside only if your kitchen is air-circulated and not easy to make things moldy. And close it tight.

[@530mnorman]

@@TheMarcusFoy Yeah, I think I'll keep mine in the fridge to be safe. If our fridge ever dies, I might buy a sacrificial one to use for the week or so until the fridge is fixed, and then just replace it thereafter.

[@MalReaver]

I accidentally put my oyster sauce in the cupboard one time, not sure how long it was there but when I found it there was a lot of mould. I will not make that mistake again!
