Pai, I always thought pig blood was totally disgusting and I would never eat it, but I've eaten boat noodles a thousand times without knowing it had blood in and I really love it, so I just learned I like pig blood and it isn't disgusting at all. Thanks for opening my eye!

[@user-NickKC-006]

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

It's so funny how it is all about what we grew up learning as normal. Like being used to eating pig flesh and sizzling up pig belly fat for breakfast, but the idea of the blood that was circulating through all those parts is disgusting if it wasn't part of our childhood. However, I still find the texture of coagulated blood from my culture to be not my favourite taste or texture even though I'm not disgusted by the idea of it. I can eat it though, if needed.

[@Uratube25]

@@SquidandCatAdventures This blood has already been stirred and coagulated then removed, this is a process carried out when the pig is killed ,if left it would just set solid like jelly :-)

The synchronicity is off the charts! Just watched one of my favorite channels OTR, newest post about the historical city of Ayutthaya & the significance of boat noodles & here you are with a great recipe. Love this channel!

[@multiinvisibleman]

I love OTR Thai food history!! Hot thai kitchen and OTR have deepened my fascination with Thai cooking.

[@NessS398]

@@multiinvisibleman yes! They absolutely complement each other- learning the history & replicating this fantastic cuisine at home.

[@jordanbabcock9349]

​@@chrisw7347sure, that's how you get your recommendations.. but that is not what the comment was about. It is about how multiple channels seem to produce the same content at the same time.. or complimenting videos at the same time.

Hi Pailin! I wanted to say thank you so much for your videos. My mother, who’s Thai, always cooked beautiful delicious foods for me. Bless her, she never had the patience for teaching me anything in the kitchen as it was very fast paced and she said I got in the way of the cooking process. Now being older, I’ve moved out of home for 4 years now and I like to follow your recipes and rub it in her face that I can cook delicious authentic Thai food. Safe to say that everyone’s been happier now since I started cooking because all my family enjoys these recipes.

[@VioletIndigo3]

I know this is crazy but I wondered why older generation mothers, grandmothers did this. Their kitchen skills is what made them valuable, so if they were to successfully pass on all their recipes, their secret fear is that you will no longer need them, or visit them!! So while your mother will be impressed, absolutely save a few of her speciality dishes & make sure she's the only one who does it best. {If ur mother/grandma doesn't pass on the recipe before they pass, it was absolutely malice :D)

Your boat noodles recipe has been used in my household for many years since your first video. I just love it! Thank you so much for this authentic recipe!!! ❤ Watching this makes my mouth water...now time to go make some!

[@trishayable]

Thai food is hands down the best cuisine on the planet. I grew up eating bland chicken and potatoes in the Midwest, and am so jealous of Thai people who grew up eating delicious food with spice and flavor.

[@lewfah1991]

Boat noodles make me want to cry too! It’s a warm hug. Last time I went to BKK I wandered the street stalls and this was all I could smell above all the grilled foods etc. and it’s been my absolute favourite ever since! I’m always looking forward to my next bowl 😁

[@LiTTLEPiPU]

Last time I made this dish, I used shrimp paste (gapi) instead of taojiao (bean paste) and pork blood (which I cannot easily find in Japan), and it turned out so good! When I travel back to Thailand, I usually order for "Sen Yai" (Hor Fun, wide fresh rice noodles) in this dish! It goes well with the broth. :)

[@nobhilltreehouse]

I am such a lover of Tom Kha that with over a dozen visits to Thailand and eating Thai food since the 80 s, I can't believe I've never had Boat Noodles. Will try the Lers Ros version immediately here in SF. Thanks for all the illustrations, naming and fun facts, really enjoyed that.

[@jakefisher-psalm23]

Pai, you are such a gem. Energetic and adorable--even if I had no interest in the dish, I'll still watch the video just for your personality; plus the authentic Thai ingredients and techniques!

[@mcmdrpiffle447]

This video is why I'm subscribed Pailin! Kenji Lopez Alt sent his love to you in a video he did last week. You are the Best !!!

[@bkm2797]

I remember back in the early 70's the floating market in Thailand, love that you shared an homage to the tasty boat noodles. Looks delicious Palin, and Thank you for sharing.❤️👍

[@tinabarton2938]

OMG, this is my favorite dish of all time. My mother would never teach me any of her recipes and never really taught me how to speak thai. So I could not ask you if you knew how to make this dish as I could not spell it or really pronounce it correctly. Thank you soooo much. I have been wanting this recipe my entire life.

[@lofiben]

I love Boat Noodles so much! The absolute best kind of noodle soup there is - it's got a complex flavor that's tangy, savory, slightly sweet - it's aromatic and this combination of different flavors and textures just makes for the ultimate noodle soup! It's a shame that it hasn't reached ramen levels of popularity.

[@khun1pla]

My story: many years I spent my long holidays in Hua Hin. My Girlfriend and I went many times to a small restaurant on a corner, close to the fire brigade. It was always very full , full of Thai people. The Menu was complete in Thai. My gf ordered a soup , dark brown and a super taste. I ordered many times this perfect soup. Always was happy. After approx. 13 visits, I left the restaurant and has to work across the area where the food was prepared. Huch, is that blood what they used? From that day on I never went to that restaurant. Now, 15 years later, I am missing that very special taste. You are right, that soup represent Thailand. I have to find now pork blood here in my town in Germany, my former gf is now my partner and is living with me. Nobody told me that this soup is the popular boat soup. You did it now. 20.04.24 Kop Khun krap

[@h.7332]

This video is a life saver! I'm half thai but never learned to speak the language, so trying to get my mother to teach me thai recipes is kind of tough when you don't know the thai names. I was just on the phone with my mother when she told me that she was in Thailand eating my favorite soup! But again since I don't know the language, it's hard for me to find the name. But this is it!! I can finally try to make a piece of my childhood at home 😭❤

[@TheShah1977]

Amazing! Not only this recipe which is making me salivate, but we’ve been making YT videos for 8 years now (MmmEnglish!) and I super appreciate how much consideration and care you put into every single video. Lots of love and cheers from Australia!

[@street-zombie]

I do live near a big city and was able to find boat noodles near me at a small Thai restaurant that's since become my go-to. They serve it with with chili vinegar, chili flakes, and pork rinds and I like to put everything in it for maximum flavor. Thank you for recommending such a comforting bowl of soup that I look forward to trying at home

[@babyblue.k]

If you put some garlic oil on top of the cooked noodles then stir them a little, the noodles are gonna be so much more aromatic and tastier 🤤

[@panjapatpetch-on2039]

yes 👏

[@edmarkd]

I was in Thailand last year, and I had only known that boat noodles were super popular, so I ordered it without knowing it had blood in it. I found out it had blood when I was looking it up as I was eating it! And it didn't change the fact that I thought it was absolutely delicious! 😅

[@edmarkd]

​@@WinnersMind67 No actually! That's myoglobin - its a protein that when mixed with oxygen, turns into a bright pink colour - thats what makes medium rare steak red/pink and the juices to run the same colour.

[@sandycove777]

​@WinnersMind67 Nope, animals are bleed out. That red liquid is water mixed a protein called myoglobin.

[@frankclark7039]

My Thai wife never told me it had blood in it when I ordered 5 bowls worth. It was delicious! She told me after we left the restaurant. I shrugged my shoulders and that really surprised me. Good food is good food!

Always happy to see Pailin cooking. Your facial expression is enough to know how delicious the food is

[@joycewilson3443]

These boat noodles look amazing! If it’s as yummy and great as your pho recipe, I’m going to be in heaven!! I love all your recipes that I have tried. You have the best way to cook sticky rice, comes out perfect every time. Thank you so much for sharing. Much ❤

[@BigRiceEnergy]

I was literally looking at boat noodles videos last night. You sensed what recipe I needed the most, Pailin. lol.

Just bought the cookbook Kiin and seeing your name under the blurb made me smile. I love the support you give to others!

[@g.e.boroush5176]

When I am going to watch one of her videos, I have to prepare something for me to eat before starting. That's because she makes everything look so yummy I find myself ravenous. So I eat while watching haha!

[@Jogjaviaje]

I always ate it everyday when i visited Thailand last year but without the blood, It is comfy food for me, soo delicouse

[@NathanielColclough]

Thanks for all the illustrations, naming and fun facts, really enjoyed that

[@ardemisaguirre8088]

How I enjoy listening to you explaining the recipes 🥰🌹

[@b_วริชะ_martin]

I enjoy all of your videos so much and direct my friends to your channel and website for recipes. They help me try to recreate the tastes I remember from growing up as a child. Boat noodles were a staple dish every weekend, as my mother and her friends would gather for a potluck and Thai poker after going to temple in the US. Unfortunately, I lost her to cancer when I was only 13 years old and spent decades trying to recreate this dish. Your video from some years back came the closest to what I could recall. Fun story, I made this dish a few years back while visiting my sister in Utah. Every time I visit, we have a “Thai night” where I cook a bunch of dishes and she’ll invite some American friends over. The dialogue of one couple: Them: “What do you call this?” Me looking over: “Which one?” Them lifting up the bowl of boat noodles from Pailin’s recipe: “The best thing I have ever had in my life.” The blood was always a challenge to not make it clumpy so I always omitted it, but putting it in the entire pot is something I will try next. A few years back I was able to find my Thai family after not seeing each other for over 40 years. I have visited a few times and being able to purchase a bowl for 50 - 75 THB was an experience. Thank you, Pailin for your recipes that help me recreate so many of my mother’s dishes that I miss greatly from my childhood.

[@bobjacobs1333]

I'm going to be in Bangkok in October 2024. i know where to find Boat Noodles near Victory Monument and I will definitely be there. I love your description of how to make them and i can't wait to have them again.

[@MarkAtherton-bf4pq]

Ill never make this at home. But when I lived in Thailand I ate this dish A LOT. So good, super cheap, and everywhere.

[@NathanielOjcius]

When I was in Thailand for two months, I would smell these noodles with the steam from the broth rolling out of the pot and on to the street. I could not stop myself...I always had to sit down and have a bowl.

[@SBrierly1991]

My all time favourite dish!!!!!!

[@sophien5416]

Thank you for demystifying this dish for us, Pai. I've made this recipe many times now and it's always a hit! Some substitutions I've had to make due to availability include: i) parsnips instead of daikon, ii) coconut milk instead of blood.

[@phoenixr6811]

Everything you make is good😊 my #1 Thai teacher.

[@sh3n3ng]

I was so confused when I first had Namtok noodles soup , because I grew up near Isan community and the first Namtok I was introduced is spicy pork salad. I love both bloody noods and Meaty salad though.

[@melissalambert7615]

This is a labor of love. But sometimes it's fun to make a really complicated dish. Yum! Hello from cloudy Oregon, US.

[@ThePrescriptionable]

Thank you for making this looks so easy and doable.

[@lemonz1769]

Another absolute banger!! I’ve made this twice (once with pork and once with beef). Guaytiew is kinda of like what the Sunday roast is to Brits or Sunday sauce is to Italian-Americans for us Burmese/Karen-Americans. It’s usually once or twice a month and the whole family comes over to enjoy. Thanks to Pai I’m now one of the best guaytiew makers in the family. Most people include lots of soup powders and or pho paste in theirs which tastes good but doesn’t give as deep and complex a flavor as this. I’d love to see your take on a guaytiew salad sometime. Usually the next day if we’re sick of the full bowl of noodle soup we’ll make a salad with the noodles and have the broth on the said. Also thanks for letting us know how to say it correctly. Most Burmese say it something like “koot-ee-oh” 😅 I had no idea I was saying it wrong!

[@shaligasuksomsong]

I follow your recipe all the time and it’s perfect 👍🏻

[@Hrangue]

I didn't try this in Thailand, but after coming back I took an interest in Thai food. I mostly ate pad krapao moo krob (and farang food). So I bought boat noodle paste not even knowing what it was and I was wowed. The smell alone... is something. I doubt I'll go through the trouble of trying to make it at home (like my take on some other SEA dishes), but I'm eager to find a place that has it in Philadelphia, US.

[@tingstadt871]

Hi Pai!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial. my husband and I were in phukett last year and enjoyed boat noodles so much and have been craving this delicious noodle soup. So I made it for my family last week and they were floored by how delicious it really is. Thank you Thank you!!!

[@itsgarrick4910]

I've been waiting years for this post!

[@NotMeButAnother]

I had boat noodles in Bangkok and they were amazing. One thing I noticed was that they didn't try to be as balanced between sour, sweet, savory etc. like many Thai foods I had, but skewed hard towards savory, spicy and maybe just slightly acidic. I loved the intensity.

[@AnthonyTabing]

This is similar to our La Paz Batchoy. The protein is mix of pork meat, liver, heart and blood cubes. There is also boiled egg and Pork crackling. 😊

[@Edie5150]

Aroi maug. Very delicious noodle recipe. I love this dish so much. Thanks

[@travelfoodielove]

Thank you for showing authentic recipes.

[@FiniteEntity]

Oh wow, I need this. We're having quite a cold spell for early spring here and this would just be perfect. I'm going to have to cheat some of the ingredients but... yeah, this will be dinner today. Thanks for this recipe!

[@MasefieldGlenn]

I don’t have to worry about it going bad before I can use it AND it will have a better texture. Thanks!

[@hauckb87]

Perfect timing! I found a Thai place that does great boat noodles near my house but getting a couple bowls every week is starting to get expensive 😅.

[@monicabracamontes4304]

I do really love the way you cook and the way you talk about your lovely country. Now, is so hot in Mexico to cook this dish, but definitely I will cook it in a rainy day!

[@ajax377]

I've never tried to make it but we always eat boat noodles at Victory Monument in Bangkok when we visit. Good video as usual.

I love Boat noodles. So much so that I just had it two nights ago at a local Thai restaurant (out here in the boonies - not a big city) and it was DELICIOUS!! Also OTR is one of my favorite channel on YT. Thank you for the recipe. mmmmmmm.

[@MM-sr6gi]

Hi! Follower from Italy here! I totally love your cooking, your passion and effort you put into all recipes you make. I’m going to prepare boat noodles soon following your recipe. Unfortunately, in Italy consuming and selling pork blood is illegal :( but I’ll try my best to prepare the recipe, even if I can’t put pork blood in it!

[@heatherholden3774]

I didn’t know to look for boat noodles when I was in Thailand unfortunately, but I did try a bowl in Las Vegas. I don’t know how authentic it was but it is the best soup I’ve ever eaten. The people at the restaurant were definitely Thai. Maybe that was a good sign.

[@qingyuhu]

OMG! I must make this soon! LOVE boat noodles!!! Salivating just watching this video!

Just got back from Bang Bua Thong and so glad you’ve added this video. Can’t wait to try it out on the weekend 🙏🏼

Thank you for the video it was nice. I've had this in Thailand both with & without blood & I agree with you it makes the difference. First time I had it I was set up I didn't know then a friend told me after. I didn't care so I had a 2nd bowl & took 4 orders back to the hotel 🤣🤣🤣

It does look very delicious, and I will make these soon for my family as a weekend project, as you wisely suggest. I’m a vegetarian and my husband and children are not, but it’s all about cooking for the people you love for me. I know they’d love the porky broth and marinated pork meat, so I’ll happily make it for them. I’ll even try to find blood to add to the recipe.

[@tumentumengoosh5178]

I love boat noodles. For the broth, I use "Beef Flavored Pho Soup Base" to cut down on cooking time. The soup still taste very good. We all love it here. Beef tendon balls is also a good choice in this soup. All in all Aroy Mak Mak.!

[@larrymats]

Remember that if you are in Thailand, the boat noodles will be very spicy by default. If you can't handle spicy, make sure you say "mai ped" when you order boat noodles.

[@jurgendekeyser288]

Definitely worth to cook it. We are having bad weather this weekend so I know what to do😊

[@luckycharm1]

True! Must have Boat noodle for Thailand. Then if you go Vietnam then must have Bun Bo Hue noodle! Both are really good!

[@zoebehave]

Pailin, thoughts on using shirataki noodles? We're low carb RN for medical reasons so noods are out. Also, as a former butcher I laughed at the added blood. You're a legend for explaining it. People really get weird about it!
