[@Mochido89]

I've made vegan pad thai basically using what Uncle Roger said (made the vegan fish sauce from scratch using mostly seaweed and mushrooms). The rest is pretty straightforward. It's not rocket science, but Jamie has a natural talent for messing up simple recipes.

[@kevwwong]

And you can also buy vegan fish sauce... assuming that you live in a place that has a large Asian supermarket like T&T or 99 Ranch. Jamie lives in the UK so I can forgive him for that oversight... but just that one.

[@CarlGorn]

@@kevwwong I can't. Not when mail-order exists, not to mention Amazon.

[@kaizerkoala]

Yeah. The original recipe form Pad Thai is really close to vegan by itself. Big Shrimp or chicken is a fairly modern addition. When I was young, tofu is the only protein in the dish. Egg is optional (some cheap version omit it) and others non-vegan elements which are fish sauce and dried baby shrimp can be substituted with other umami-sh element fairly easily. Dried shitake as you suggest is probably a good choice.

[@stevenw.miguel]

That’s the problem with these celebrity chefs is that they take very simple dishes and add in a million other ingredients and then label it as a dish that it isn’t

[@kevwwong]

​@@stevenw.miguel "That’s the problem with these celebrity chefs is that they take very simple dishes and add in a million other ingredients and then label it as a dish that it isn’t" It's especially an issue when they've got a camera on them. There is a real need to chef it up... and I'm being generous with that term when it comes to Jamie. But that wasn't even Jamie's first problem. His first problem was that he doesn't know how to make an Asian-inspired dish, nevermind an authentic one. And thus we get what we see here.

[@JoshF848]

I remain convinced that Jamie comes up with these recipes by looking at a picture of the original dish, picking up whatever he can find at the local supermarket that looks vaguely like the picture and then making it up as he goes along. The majority of his typical audience won't know the difference so he's been able to get away with it for decades

[@cmlemmus494]

Also worth noting that his degree is in home economics, he learned chef skills on the job. Nothing wrong with this, of course, but his focus is on "how do I make this economical for a family" instead of "how do I make this historically and culturally accurate". He'd get a lot less flak online if he'd just introduce videos saying "let's make a stir fry that's borrows flavours from another dish" instead of insisting that this is his version of a given dish.

[@JoshF848]

@@cmlemmus494 you're right, while he has undoubtedly helped a lot of people with minimal cooking skill to improve, positioning himself as a chef while also trying to show off easy and affordable recipes creates a lot of the criticism he faces. He would argue that if he called the videos "quick and easy stir fry/curry/salad/whatever" he wouldn't get half as many views, but then he's got to be able to deal with the backlash from people who go in expecting authentic. Then there's the fact that he often misses the mark when it comes to being economical. Using chicken breasts instead of legs in his curries when anyone who actually has to watch their spending knows how much more expensive breasts are. Or his abomination of a vegetarian lasagna that is supposed to be easy to make but has 56 different ingredients, hugely impractical for a home cook, on top of being nothing like a lasagna

[@GTSE2005]

[@MichelleD2023]

@@alexanderzack3720 You joke about that but that actually has a kernel of truth in it. Jamie Oliver’s shtick falls right in line with diet culture/bordering on eating disorder culture where they believe “healthy” food must make you miserable to qualify as such. It’s the same reason why some gym bros refuse to season their food, in order to remove the association of pleasure with food, to see it only as fuel, and to make their minds stop craving it so they can eat less.

[@godfreyofbouillon966]

Yeah unfortunately he lost his touch long ago. Veggies are good and you are supposed to eat a lot of them (roughly half of all the food you consume) but nobody says you have to eat them at the same time and mix everything. Why not eat your salad first and a good authentic pad thai afterwards? Why mix everything into one pile of ingredients that no longer deserves the name "dish"?

[@tmoldenSHS]

Jamie Oliver constantly inflicts psychic damage across the internet. His 'health food crusade' is also kind of a joke. No one wants to eat that. It you want to make healthy pad thai, just make it normally with shrimp or mushroom, jeez. But I am glad that you and your friends are watching these together!

[@Shampaggin]

I figured out the sauce a couple of weeks ago! Jamie, being English, is used to that terrible salad cream stuff they use in England. He's substituting silken tofu for it. Effectively he's attempted to make a stir fry into a salad, and winds up with something closer to a Thai waterfall salad (though still miles off from that too). I make veg pad thai routinely. I use pineapple based "fish" sauce, tamarind, and palm sugar. It's not that hard, Jammy-boy. Oh, but Marion Grasby's pantry pad Thai (approved by her very Thai mother) is a really interesting take.

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Thai Water Fall Salad OMG LOL

[@warmpianist]

Only thing closer to Thai waterfall salad is Jamie olive oil put some cold green things in it. And even then the waterfall salad only needs herbs that complement the sourness of waterfall (like Thai mint, culantro, sometimes cilantro). All these Jamie olive oil putting are bitter, especially dry frying does fork all

[@Phoneybeetlemaniacxs]

As a English person don’t blame us for Jamie. A lot of our cooks I know not to do this. Even I as a non cook know you don’t do this. I think what halo does is try give people things they can do on a budget but as I’ve said before he’s doing it the wrong way

15:19 In Thailand, we put water while cooking Padthai only when rice noodle is not cooked or rehydrated. This is the old technique by old Thai people called “Shadnam” a difficult technique. Cuz you can’t put water too much or too less. But if rice noodle is rehydrated, no need to put water in pan again. It is going to be destroyed and overcooked. 😢😢😢😢

[@Thunyapatz]

Actually, not any kind of rice noodles will do. For best results, it has to be Sen Chan (the Pad Thai rice noodles) which is specifically used for cooking Pad Thai.

[@Coco_Paradise]

@@Thunyapatz You’re right!. Sen chan is an ingredient that must be listed in Padthai.

The instructions on Asian noodles are not just mostly wrong or inpercise, they are also usually translated poorly at best. The Mie Noodles I can get from my grocery store tell me to soak the noodles in hot water for 60 minutes. Not seconds, MINUTES. Just for shits and giggles I tried it once and they disintegrated. the water turned beige after 30 minutes and that was that.

His team buys some shit for him, he keeps reaching for his jars in shelves, throws something together and that's that. I'd be surprised if he even watches the final edits. At least Gordon engages with the viewer.

[@jcohasset23]

@@PandyBong Some of these recipes he obviously does like and has made before, even if they're very nontraditional, but yeah in general I suspect the videos are primarily for whatever the advertiser is and not to teach others how to cook. It's the only way to really explain the methods or way he's using a particular product that doesn't really make sense otherwise. One of the saddest things in these videos is when he messes up and does something to recover but doesn't explain what he did or why he did it or how for anyone following along to avoid messing up also (pan being too hot or cold, cooking something too early, noodles/rice too dry/wet, etc) so they aren't even that useful as recipes for others.

[@jcohasset23]

@testsurname5679 No if you've ever seen Jamie's paella, his vegetarian lasagna, or some of his carbonara videos you can see he does it to European food too. I know he does many of these recipes as an introduction to non-British food for Britains while still being healthy but it really comes across more like he feels he has to put his own unique spin on a recipe and I don't think he tries out and refines many of these recipes before making them for the camera. This is also ignoring the fact that due to the British Empire they actually have a lot of non-British influences in their food. With many dishes it's okay to change up a few things if you're not wanting to make a truly traditional dish but if you change too many ingredients and how the dish is made it's no longer even a variation on a dish- it just becomes an experiment similar to just using random ingredients to make a meal.

I would really like to point out how nonchalant Frenchy has been so far in these reactions. Yes he can tell Jamie is doing bad stuff but it's all from a spectator's view. It's like watching war crimes happening on the other side of the world. It's horrible, sure, but you are just watching from the sidelines. Until your Lasagna video and this is why I love that video so much. You can tell that Frenchy finally FEELS the outrage. Now the war in on home soil and he finally can relate to how the rest of us have been suffering.

Also (I mentioned this in Chef James’ channel as well but just for some education) dry frying （乾燒） is a legit Chinese cooking technique, but that means one quickly draw out the moisture from the surface with hot oil to get a crunchy chewy texture. Examples include Szechuan-style dry fried string beans and Cantonese dry fried ho-fun (rice noodle).

[@wanpingchan8362]

I believe fry rice noodles still need a bit of oil unless the chef has good techniques and good skills to do it. If not it will burn very fast. Cooking shallots with out oil 🤔

You two should react to Sorted food, not only is it entertaining, it's informative , they do lots of work with charities, they have there own app which gives you a 3 day meal shopping list which whole purpose is to lower cost of living by reducing food waste and have had guests on there show from popular chefs and cooking critics such as our dear uncle Roger to royalty like Prince William

[@colonelturmeric558]

Yet they use ocado and sainsburys et al as a bellwether for ‘budget’.. sorted food is a middle class channel which is detached from reality, not to mention they are left wing londoners who don’t understand their own country

[@m20superbazooka49]

In our homes dry fried means no curry no gravy. Because we have usually two Daal(lentil soup) to eat our rice so usually we want the meat portion dry. Without curry but not without oil lol.

Do any of you remember the disaster of Jamie Oliver trying to take over Los Angeles School district lunches?

Recent subscriber, late to the party, trying to catch up. Loving the content, the bromance is real. Frenchy’s got me missing my French teacher from 25 yrs ago very much, it’s that attitude it’s very endearing. She was only a little older than him, grew up in the countryside outside of Paris circa WWII… 😉 j’aime vous Frenchy et Brian.

[@lepidoptery]

you can use fish sauce if you're pescetarian, but i don't consider pescetarian to be vegetarian. fish are animals/meat, pescetarians are meat-eaters who just choose not to eat mammals/birds. it's different from ovolacto vegetarians since you don't have to kill an animal to get eggs/milk; you absolutely have to kill fish to make fish sauce. their entire bodies go into that sauce.

[@colonelturmeric558]

I dont think anyone considers pescatarian to be vegetarian, they’re literally two different words

[@lepidoptery]

@@colonelturmeric558 these guys seem to think vegetarians can use (normal) fish sauce. and a lot of ppl seem to think pescetarianism is a flavor of vegetarianism. 😑

crushing tofu is like blending a baguette

[@athlonen]

I said it before, and I'll say it again. There is only one way to settle this Uncle Roger/Jamie Oliver feud: KITCHEN STADIUM. Those two go at it, Iron Chef style. Chef Morimoto comes in as the Chairman, and gives them the secret ingredient. Chefs Brian and Frenchie call the play-by-play/color commentary. Chef James Makinson, Auntie Esther, Auntie Hersha, Cowboy Kent, and Iron Chef Dad are on the judging panel. Let them go at it, and see who wins.

[@IloveElsaofArendelle]

Damn! You're a genius!

[@keithdavies52]

25 years ago, I was so poor, and sometimes homeless. There was a Thai place where if I brought my own plate, they'd fill me up with Pad Thai for a dollar. I doubt it was the best, but it was so good. 1$ Pad Thai that tasted like peanut butter, and green curry paste, seems so much better than Jammy Olive Oil's dish. Kept me alive for another day back then, so maybe I'm biased. I do know which I'd choose now, though.

[@michel4rthur]

The fact that the tofu is crushed in a pestle and motar is literally the final nail in the coffin

So I've seen like 20 Jamie Oliver videos and when I saw this one I was like "surely this is, like, rock bottom". And I'm glad to see EVERYONE agrees lmao. Everything is wrong but what gets me the most is the sauce - even if the sauce was RIGHT... WHY ARE YOU MAKING THE SAUCE IN THE PESTLE AND MORTER? YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, LISA.

[@lmsmith015]

I don't think he was intending to make a vegan or vegetarian dish. He just wanted to use a lot of veggies. As a vegan, I usually have to scrutinize a menu item that says "veggie" as that could mean a million things.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

It makes me wonder where Jamie Oliver gets all these bizarre ideas for Asian food.

[@andreihb]

Every time you guys say that Jamie Oliver is the enemy of flavor, this picture comes to my mind. Him, as a super villain, with his minions, Jack and Kay, and riding against him a Captain Planet kind of hero, but where Brian, Frenchy and others summon him by tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami. Anyways, Jamie has proved that he can make good food. Why can’t he just stick to his forte or at least be honest and say that those are his recipes, which are loosely based on the traditional ones. Keep up the great content guys 👍

[@hershpat1]

If it's veggie you can usually get away with egg but no fish or meat based products. At least that's how it has been in my house.

As an English person, Jamie doesn’t represent us there are tons of trained professionals who would t touch this recipe with a barge pole. Look if you want proper English chefs Marcus warring Marco Pierre white Simon runner these guy a trained correctly and btw even home chefs would t touch this they would research

[@animefangrl0902]

If the thai chef from Chef gordon ramsay's video saw this, he would absolutely have a field day with tearing into Jamie Oliver's version.

[@ThePandaPhotographer]

Someone needs to stop Jamie because he is purposely disrespectful chefs and cooks in the Asian community, and I'm so sure if Jamie was to go to Asian, they will definitely deny his entrance

[@ms4110]

That's what I thought too! Back then maybe he was just being ignorant (and arrogant sometimes), but now this makes him more sinister. I honestly think that he watched Uncle Roger's videos and was like "You know what? You talked shit about me, I'll destroy every single Asian dish and feed them to brits who can't and won't tell"

[@DonnaFayette]

But then this video was done before UR existed... I think his ignorance will always be first in his persona. ​@@ms4110

[@AgraxGaming]

I mean... "dry frying" is a VERY nieche technique used mostly for shrooms. You don't want your shrooms soggy when you fry them, so you first "dry fry them". Medium heat, clean pan, mushrooms and fry them until they're slightly browned. Then you toss butter/olive oil and aromatics. Tastes WAY better than just tossing shrooms straight into your oil of choice

[@4C51]

And to top it off, Jamie eats it with chopsticks. Pad Thai is not eaten with chopsticks.

[@derworm]

I ate pad thai with chopsticks in Krung Thep because the stalls served them with chopsticks. Is a chinese inspired dish after all.

For a "world famous" chef, Jamie sure fucks up pretty much every recipe! AIYAAA!

[@CREATERpl]

In Poland we often char the onion, it's a very common and old technique. It could be done over the fire, gas stove or on the dry frying pan. We add charred onion to broth / stock to build extra flavour depth. Works great! Maybe Jamie Olive Oil tried to mix this Central-European trick into Thai dish 😜

When I saw crushing tofu, I imagined crushed curd cheese (common cheese in Eastern European countries), and in sauce the texture of those curd granules would irritate me. I am actually learning a lot from those reaction videos, because I get two tier explanations and insights for many things. And the insights from different food cultures point of views.

[@Colourless4]

I was watching the pad thai video last night and was wondering if you had reacted to it 😂 It's a train wreck of a recipe. Due to allergies, I have to substitute the shrimp paste and fish sauce, but otherwise I don't mess with the recipe. Can't wait for the pho episode!

[@dondashall]

One note on the tofu. There *are* circumstances you might run tofu in a food processor or similar to blend it down. Silken makes a great chocolate pudding. Ground firm tofu can be used as one (of several) ingredients of vegan burgers, it can also be added when making seitan to make it more firm. There are other situations. This ain't it though. As for your definitions on vegetarian (not sure if you'll see this as video is a week old) strictly speaking vegetarian is the diet we vegans follow and is completely plant based and vegan is simply our ethical stance that includes a lot more than diet. That said colloquially vegetarian has sort of become synonymous with lacto/ovo or lacto-ovo vegetarian which allows milk and/or eggs - so in a vegetarian pad thai you might expect there to be an egg there, but no fish sauce. The version of vegetarianism that allows for fish is pescatarian. That said, he also called this "veggie" not vegetarian. Veggie in this context being mostly a bullshit word that people and companies use to give the image of something being vegetarian or vegan without being held to standards if they used vegetarian or vegan.

I just realized why there was soo much sesame oil used. Hes substituing olive oil, hes obsessed with it and somehow learned that this dish cant use it so he now substituted it for sesame oil and treats it the same way as he does with the other. Hes a crazy health nut without the knowledge to be healthy!
