Just some tips from a Thai person who loves to cook as much as you all ;) : - For palm sugar, if you wrap it around with moist kitchen paper and pop it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, it'll be easier to break. - Usually, we don't use black soy sauce, otherwise, we call the dish "pad see ew". ( I mentioned it because you call this recipe " Authentic pad Thai".) The main ingredients for an authentic pad thai sauce mostly are tamarind puree, shallot, palm sugar, and fish sauce. - For pork marinade, use oyster sauce and ''thin'' soy sauce instead of black soy sauce. it will give you a smoother flavor. the sweet back soy sauce will leave a metallic aftertaste. - There are 2 types of pickled daikon, sweet and salty. Go for the sweet pickle :) - I live in Europe, so it's a bit expensive to get all ingredients from an Asian supermarket. Alternative for some ingredients: Chives > spring onion, bean sprout > shredded carrots - crushed roasted peanut and pepper flakes will give you more texture and spice it up. - Noodle of your choice: But I would suggest ''Jantaburi rice noodle'' size 3mm (the logo is a lady wear a sun hat on an orange strip), it's one of the most favorite noodles among Thai people. Hope this info will be useful :D

[@BalazarsBrain]

Not sure if this is authentic, but I was taught to make chili paste ahead of time and use it as a base.. lots of dried chilies, and a lot of the ingredients Josh used (tamarind paste, palm sugar, fish sauce, etc.). The plus to making the chili paste base is you can use it in other dishes like Tom Yum, Massaman, etc.

[@jaspervanheycop9722]

@@krisi4168 You can use dried mushrooms with a bit of soy sauce and some browned garlic (be careful not to burn it, but it should have more colour than you normally would do, or use black garlic if you have it!), that's my go to for replacing the various types of "fishy/salty/umami" flavour profiles that you find in South-East-Asian cooking when vegan relatives come around. Oyster sauce works too, if she isn't allergic to those, though it is a more pronounced flavour.

[@richardlohmann4013]

Quick question about the tamarind juice: Is it okay to use this somewhat processed, light brown and quite fluid tamarind paste you find in most asian markets instead of those more natural bricks? I can imagine that the latter have a bit more flavor than just sour, but I haven't seen them anywhere in my city...

[@Slemonel]

​@@richardlohmann4013 Yeah those works fine as a substitute, I use it too. Back in Thailand, we have an even fresher version of that "natural bricks". In the end, you always juice the tamarind before you use it with anything, so you'll end up having fluid tamarind either way. It won't be the best tamarind in the world, but tamarind nonetheless.

awesome recipe, I've made it once, but got the proportions wrong, previously we ordered pad thai from local restaurant and it was bloody my aweful with zero flavour, this recipe was way better even though I got the mix wrong, so tonight I'm having a cookoff with my two sons and the judges are my wife and her family visiting from England, so no pressure, second time making your pad thai, thank you so much Papa, we loves you from Kirikiriroa, Aotearoa :)

[@catex5452]

I used to eat Pad thai on a daily basis when I lived on Koh Phangan, it's really great. The ones I had always looked a little bit different though. Yours looks a lot more brown but still very tasty! The ones I had didn't have much color or were rather orange. My favorite dish from Thailand though was Khao Soi. It's originally a northern meal but we met a chef from chiang mai who cooked it for us a couple of times and it was absolutely amazing. Maybe you can try that as well in the future. And if you want to try the most amazing desert you must make coconut pancakes, sprinkle sugar over them and eat them when they are hot. Had them at the night food market and I literally dream of them. They were THAT good!

[@viajandoecomendo6008]

The orange color it's because you probably had the shrimp one! as they use the juices from the shrimp's head in the preparation. Love this version.

@@TheSwauzz not typical chili powder with cumin, garlic, etc. but red chili powder found in asian markets. Super spicy and so good! I would sub crushed red chili flakes. You just need some heat 🌶️🔥

[@EndoSurf]

Which you're not going to get from the average stove top, the wok needs to get to 340c ish to be able to get all to smoke and what not. A good article here: www.seriouseats.com/2012/06/the-food-lab-for-the-best-stir-fry-fire-up-the-grill.html

Restaurant burners' BTUs are 10 to 20 times the BTUs of conventional home burners, it'll never work out. Not only are they a lot hotter, but the shape of the flames from restaurant burners (jokingly called jet burners for a reason) ensure there are no dead spots in your wok. There are some alternatives like the WokMon or using a torch for home cooks, but they still won't produce actual wok hei. Considering the movement towards greener alternatives these days, true wok hei might actually go extinct in the near future.

[@talesj1987]

Living further away from the urban centers during 'rona szn, its even tough to find premade Pad Thai seasonings or noodles 🤣 not even going to talk about Amazon, this would prob cost way too much and take too long ordering all those special ingredients from abroad 🤣 at least this food looks good on my screen and I can still occasionally make the fake pad thai with premade seasonings and local stuff. This is not hate comment or anything like that. Just wondered how many other viewers would find it really hard to even get these ingredients. Last time I looked really hard for all this stuff to make the BBQ rib sandwich, was really good even if we switched some minor stuff.
