I Tried Thailand's Viral Instant Noodles and Recreated It - Mama Jeh O

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hello everyone! The full recipe is here hot-thai-kitchen.com/mama-tom-yum-jeh-o/ If you have questions about the recipe, check the recipe post first as I cover a lot of additional information there. Thanks so much for watching! - Pai

[@MiyaOzawa-gj9xh]

The MSG , chicken powder or pork powder is already in the stock. That is the part they do not show it.

[@thaifold]

If the meatballs or anything start to flow, need still 5-7 min simmering and then is weldone. Hungarian cook here.

🌸 I had to watch this video again lol 😂 3:14 It’s the part that made me laugh so hard, I too get tickets and for early entry only to return to be last in 😅 Idk why they do that system if they don’t treat it fairly but at least you got lovely table and tried the dish And result is this amazing recipe I am about to try, hence second reason for watching video again 🤗 Thank you so much 🎉

[@kingwenceslas4225]

I’ve got: maepranom brand Thai chilli paste with shrimps. Is it good for this? IMHO it’s sweet and hardly spicy at all. Is it actually good for anything? It’s not very pungent at all 🤔 Yeah I’m farang but when I order som tam Thai I want 8-10 chillies and if it’s som tam pu pla ra ( or Lao/Isan with soft shell crab) it has to be at least 15-17🤪🫣🥵🤣 You doing awesome job! But I would love to see a bit ,,pungent/risky,, recipes too. Love ❤️

Loove this format! Really fun to watch you experience the restaurant and dish then develop this recipe. Cool to see you making tweaks based on your taste memory, knowledge of the ingredients you can get your hands on, and where you want the flavors to go. Would watch a million of videos like this!

[@olivier2553]

From the footage you show, the brand of prick pao they use, Chua Hah Saeng, is the most common one in Thailand. I mean, I see it being used in every food stall I go to. I even use that brand at home (as well as their oil, like in the video). I use that chilli paste for tom yam and for pork pat prick pao on rice or pasta. When I prepare mama at home, I always add the egg at the end, after I turned off the gas, to be cooked in the residual heat. It adds to the creaminess of the dish. Speaking about cook book, one book I would find very useful and that I may buy would be a book about the various ingredients used in Thai cuisine, for each ingredient you would have the name in English and in Thai, including Thai writing, the type of dishes it is used for (for example sawtooth coriander I use it for yam and tom yam, but I don't know the Thai name; Chinese inspired cuisine do not use fish sauce; sesame oil is used in Chinese cuisine, etc.) The book could also cover the cuts of meat with their equivalent names and usages. Different cultures will detail the carcasses in different ways. I know what is nua sam (it is clear at the butcher shop), but why that name? How to call tender loin? It could also cover the vegetables. Spices, herbs, bottled or canned condiments, oils, pastes, etc. That would not be a book for cooking, but rather a book to go to the market and do your shopping.

คนไทยมักจะเรียกเส้นบะหมี่กึ่งสำเร็จรูปว่า มาม่า Mama แต่ ถ้าคุณสืบดู หรือแอบดูในครัว ร้านอาหารส่วนใหญ่ จะไม่ใช้เส้นมาม่า เพราะเส้นมันจะเละได้ง่าย ส่วนใหญ่แล้ว จะใช้เส้นที่แพ็ครวมมาในถุงใหญ่ๆ และมักจะใช้เส้นของ ยี่ห้อ ไวไว ซึ่งเส้นจะไม่เละ จะมีความเหนียวนุ่ม❤❤❤❤❤

[@nellychingo2010]

I do the same with with mama Tom Yum and make my own modification. I actually get kaffir lime leaves and julianne them really fine so it is easier to release the flavor and also lemon grass. For the Chili Paste I mix the Chili paste, with Crab roe paste, and some fish sauce. A big difference to "thicken" the broth and give it more character is I use 50% Coconut Cream + 50% Coconut milk. These two really thickens the soup and add the coconut, creamy flavor to the Tom Yum. I also use a slight more diluted shrimp broth or chicken broth, depending on what I have available. Then I top with shrimp, snow crab legs, fish balls, fish cake, fried egg, cilantro and some fried onions

[@gyaj3448]

I would love to see you communicating more in Thai.

when she said “mama oho” i confidently heard “ojo” 😂 anyways our local thai market sells the tom yum mama ramen in bulk and we always have multiple boxes of 30 in the pantry 😂 i love the diversity we have here in coastal california, i’ve definitely taken it for granted in years past since i grew up here, but after traveling to spain and seeing not a single person of color and staying with a family that ate only spanish cuisine, not even anything from italy, it’s been amazing getting to come back and eat all of the thai and indian and mediterranean and italian and chinese and mexican and argentinian and ecuadorian and etc food we have access to in my city! this video reminded me how appreciative i am to have tried this ramen growing up as a white american. i think we were introduced to it by an exchange student from thailand who lived with us when i was a toddler. to this day, we cook a lot of her recipes, like khao mun gai. thanks for sharing this delicious food with us!

[@nyshanelson2252]

I loved watching you figure it out on the fly! Inspiring.

[@instantlife]

Great video. After watching a lot of different restaurant videos, it's obvious the industry adds way more oil and butter than many home cooks are comfortable with. That brand of nam prik pao is also the only one more easily found in California and yes, it's quite sweet and too much can change the composition of a dish.

For anyone having trouble finding sawtooth coriander it is also known as recao or culantro and is found in Puerto Rican and Cuban cuisine so you might have some luck in a Caribbean market. I always find it amusing to see restaurants using MSG by the spoonful and then when you see their recipes it is no where.

[@waynemcgrath8816]

Where I live, it is called Mexican coriander 😊

[@KenS1267]

[@d.b.2215]

You can also find it wherever there's a Vietnamese community. Ask for "ngò gai"

[@ddchen799]

In Thailand, we use either coriander or sawtooth coriander. it doesn’t taste different, just a little bit different in smell.

[@Ramencafe]

Went there twice, marvelous food. My favorites will always be that signature tom yum mama with pork balls, extra raw egg yolks. Fried tofu with chili garlic and shrimps asparagus also scrumptious. Long queue is inevitable, people those complain about long queue, if you can’t handle 1-2 hours wait then don’t be here. It’s that simple.

I love Mama noodles. If you get them fresh they are very hot and tasty. Tomato and mushroom equals MSG.

I love the MaMa noodles so I am very happy to learn another way to cook them. 😊😊😊

[@TheRealMafoo]

Just to be clear for those in the west... this recipe is the creation of this restaurant. However the concept of taking mama noodles as a base, and then adding other things to it, to make it their own, is fairly common practice in Thailand. Some places add a slice or two of cheese, and that is one of my favorites :)

Next time you're in Thailand you should go to Por Jai restaurant in Chiang Rai and then re-create their Khao Soi Gai. It was hands down the best thing I had in Thailand, and will be my first stop when I go back to Chiang Rai in a couple weeks.

[@eldoradocanyonro]

This looks amazing! As always, I really enjoy how you explain and demonstrate things. I do have a question....when I get something brothy/soupy, and it contains chunks of galangal or lemon grass or lime leaves, I find they're, well, often not very pleasant or palatable. Am I supposed to eat them or put them on the side or what?

[@loati94]

You don't eat them. They are just to give flavour

[@Kai_Gai]

Those herbs you mention are for aromatic purpose. Normally, we don't eat them in Tom Yum although they are edible. If you feel troublesome to put them on the side when eating, you may use cheesecloth to wrap all the spice/herbs (including chilli if you don't like to eat chilli chunk) while cooking. Then remove it after it's done.

Could be wrong but I think that cilantro is actually called culantro. I used to work in a produce wholesaler and a lot of Spanish people buy this.

[@LePetitNuageGris]

Haha I love how excited you were. I understand this feeling as an amateur cook, so I’m so happy for you! I’ve made my fair share of things (but “better”, at least for my own taste) at home, and it’s super satisfying cracking the code, and knowing you can do it. But it also sometimes ruins going out for me, as I now crave the improved version of what I can find at the restaurants, so more work for me.😅 This seems like a lot of work with the toppings, but I think I’m gonna try it. It just looks too good to miss. I gotta have it. And it’s less expensive than a trip to Thailand. Lol Edit: Oh, question; can I replace the sawtooth coriander with cilantro? I think they’re similar, yes? Also… I know fresh crab is preferred, but… would canned work? Because money.😅
