9:38 As a Thai chef raise and born in Thailand 1. Put oil in the wok then put chopped garlic in 2. Put any protein you want, Thai mostly eat Pad Thai with Shrimp or Pork (if you go for Shrimp when it cooked bring it out the heat to rest and put it back when you plate so it not over cook) 3. Put Rice Noodle(Noodle don't need to soak in water before put in the wok)in and then add like a 1/2 cup of stock and 1 tbs of vinegar to make noodle soak the water 4. Put Pad Thai Sauce in (Sauce made from Fish sauce, Tamarind, Palm Sugar) then stirring the sauce to cover noodle then put Dried Shrimp and some seasoning like a little bit of Dried Chili, Sugar in and stir it 5. Put 1 Egg in 6. Put Vegetable and Yellow Tofu in then stir it, Chopped Chives and Bean Sprout for Authentic. To plate put Dried Chili, Ground Peanuts on the side, some also put Sugar either. That's It Authentic Pad Thai 🇹🇭 My English quite bad so i hope you guys get it all 😂

Noodle dishes seem to be a great idea therefore that prime minister promoted it along side with other dishes like pad krapow over rice etc.

We don't use garlic nor ginger in Pad Thai, the aromatics critical to this dish are shallots, dried shrimps and pickled radish. You also have to stir-fry the noodles with aromatics and tofu or the meat of your choice until fragrant then you can put the sauce in, the sauce will be absorbed into the noodles and will be cooked together.

[@taiphoon1981]

I had worked as a part-time job in Thai restaurant many years ago, they usually cooked big batch of sauce containing, palm sugar, tamarind, fish sauce, at bit of water and ketchup. Noodles were soaked overnight (for next day cooking) from what I remember is that chef fried minced Chinese pickled radish, dried shrimps, Thai Shallot, striped firm tofu together then added proteins. After that chef added noodle and then sauce, cooked until noodle absorbed all liquid and soft then added eggs. Before turning heat off, chef added bean sprouts and Chinese chives. So, Pad-Thai that Rachel cooked is totally off and I guess that noodle will be clumped together and mushy, not appetizing...

[@ilovemangobingsu]

Chef James, I'm glad that you mentioned about palm sugar because that's what they normally use in authentic pad thai. The flavor is totally different from the regular sugar and its milder too. What Rachel made here is a totally different dish. It's more like a chicken vegetable stew with rice noodles. She even added some ingredients that are not supposed to be there. I'm guessing that she didn't get to build that smoky flavor either. Pad thai is normally being cooked in a VERY HOT wok which is why it has that smoky flavor in it.

Like I said its something different! :)

Anyway, we are not here to talk about my Mom's cooking. We are here to talk about this popular dish that's a representation of my country being destroyed in this video. In all my 50+ years on Earth, I've NEVER had chicken Pad Thai. Prawns, yes. Mince pork with prawns, yes. Minced pork, yes. Seafood, yes. But chicken.... No. As to the ingredients used. Like Uncle Roger said, all the greens are the wrong types. No ginger is in it. No soy sauce EVER!!! Eggs are done wrong. Beansprout is cooked wrong. Noodles are definitely done wrong, wrong, wrong!!! And lastly, no edible flowers!!! Ugh!!! Looks pretty but is not for consumption. Be advised that everything on this dish is wrong.... Because its flavor profile is all wrong... 🤢

[@coryaw95]

It’s not a big deal lol. Thai people aren’t like Italians with their food; the way people cook pad Thai changes significantly in each region and even each restaurant. Some Pad Thais are sour, some overly sweet and some super spicy. Variation in cooking really isn’t a big deal. Thai people also don’t really eat Pad Thai that often; it’s a very touristy food. Kra Prao and pad see ew are much more popular. Heck, even Tom yum goong, Tom Sap, and yam woon sen is more popular(at least in BKK). I’ve been working here for years and I’ve yet to go out with a Thai person or a Thai company that orders Pad Thai for the table. It’s just not that popular here.

"a little tamarind goes a long way" Rachel knows that people just munch on tamarind fruit as is, right? It's delicious.

[@2663Tejasen]

Palm sugar + fish sauce + tamarind (best if from dried one) = pad thai sauce, perhaps adding dried chili for the spicy lovers with ground peanuts and squeeze fresh lime right before eating. Shrimps, hard tofu and eggs are common protein we normally put. Remember the sauce is well balanced with slight sweetness from palm sugar. No No ingredients are ginger, chicken, carrots, fresh chili, onions, shallots, celery, basil, mint leaves, garlic and flowers for garnish if you see cooks who put such ingredients into pad thai, just turn to another channels. I believe she didn’t eat this dish, it’s only a show in response to the audience requests. Uncle Roger, Thais love you for speaking for us.

the sauce is actually very simple, since it's just heating tamarind pulp with palm sugar until all is dissolved or melt palm sugar fist then add tamarind pulp, then add fish sauce to taste practically need no other for salty, sweet, and sour as for protein, the firm tofu was used in original one due to the fact that meat and seafood are expensive and has shorter shelf life due to lack of refridgerator back then so, the cheaper, more available, and longer lasting tofu is used Also, I used recipe from Pailin's Kitchen (the one that Uncle Roger used for reference) which I think works really well

I really enjoy your review of a review format for these. I get to laugh at Uncle Roger and still get to know some more real knowledge along the way. It's really making me miss Chinese food, especially fried rice, but I can't eat carbohydrates.

I haven’t seen you laugh this much 😂

he finally lost it, the reaction when she made those eggs was priceless

Firstly, why is there no wok? Rachael is a professional chef. I don't have a wok as I am still learning about Asian cooking & the woks I looked at would either break my wrist tossing & then I went elsewhere & there were soo many woks - I couldn't make a decision so I walked out but why so many bean sprouts & chicken & why chicken breast period = SMH?

Rachel Ray has no cooking qualifications or professional cooking qualifications of any kind, her pre television career was basically retail and buying. Somehow she managed to stumble her way into being a tv cook. For that reason I think she deserves a bit more slack than say Jamie Oliver, but I still don't see what the appeal is in watching her, and honestly ignorant people butchering the cuisine of other cultures has never been appealing to me.

@@jonathont7866 "No cooking qualifications" & she misleads wannabe improvement home cooks - that is criminal!

the timing at 12:58 was flawless "that was a little nasty" accurately, immediately followed by a very strong example of why that is

You’re right about palm sugar. It has a flavor beyond sweet. It’s great in coffee too.

Love how you can see the visible confusion at times, also she added ALL the bean sprouts.

I immediately pass judgment on a person that uses chicken breast over thighs and legs. The dark meat is too good not to use. especially for this dish. Those small, oven safe, trays in a commercial kitchen are wonderful in a home kitchen as well!
