Another Thai person here, this was so wonderfully refreshing to watch and see farang make truly authentic Thai food. The tools, methods, ingredients are also completely correct. The point that he makes that you can learn Thai methods in cooking to build up your knowledge of Thai food is spot on. Understanding what flavor profiles to build on or what local ingredients to use can really elevate Thai food at home. Definitely the best version I have seen on KZbin so far! We need more videos like this.

[@mercy1990]

As someone who is half Thai and came over from there with my mother as a child and grew up on these dishes, I want to say that it makes my heart warm to see other cultures learning about our foods. Side note for those who don't like spice or can't eat it. You can leave out the peppers for the dishes that have them. The taste won't be exactly the same cause peppers don't just add heat, they also add their own type of flavor, but you can leave them out for a non spicy version. My mother would do that with small portions of the meals that had peppers in them for my brother. She'd make a whole batch then take out a small portion for him before adding in the peppers. He loved the dishes, but couldn't handle the hot peppers....lol.

[@dana102083]

Thai food is among my most favourite that the world offers me. I have a Ukrainian background and born in Canada. My parents love it too but our favourite restaurant is a long trip but they always remind me of how much they miss their curry. The lady makes it for "white girl spice" lol but she understands our need hehe always makes us laugh. My bf is vietnamese and he makes fun of my lack of spice.. I'm spicy, just not that type ha ha :) Cheers from Canada xx

[@Djehuti-85]

Agree with the flavour from the chilis. I adapted all the Thai dishes I cook from time to time. And green curry is a good example for a dish which can only be great if its spicy as hell. With a few tablespoons of green curry paste I always felt something is missing. One day I was in a "spicy mood" and put a huuuuge amount of paste in it and that ended in my best version of grren curry, so: only a mountain of these small tasty green chilis can provide the flavour this dish needs :)

Also the cabbage leaves can be used as a scoop, so that no utensils are needed. I also prefer culantro over cilantro, and extra mint. Would like to start, steaming my rice with Kaffir lime leaves, for more flavor.

[@t-talk-time3582]

I like the synergy of these guys! Derek makes it fun to learn while cooking! Asian food especially stir fry js pretty quick. It’s the prep of ingredients and chopping that takes most of time and planning out with thickness and cooking time. I actually pre-cut verges for several days use and slice and pre-marinate meats in individual freezer bags ready to use from freezer.

The boiling of the pork meat is something that I often do for things like ground beef that I use for taco meat or spaghettis sauce, or even lettuce wraps. Doing it in boiling water separates it perfectly, and gets rid of the grease when you strain it before adding to your recipe. Mike should do a segment on this...I think that once people learn about it they will like it.

Larb or laab, is probably one of my favorite things to eat in life. It is pretty simple, yet has a ton of flavor. And it can be so different depending on where you have it. (No, i do not want a sweetened version of larb). I have a favorite restaurant that introduced me to it and I couldn't get enough. And after I found Mark Wiens on KZbin, I realized how easy it was to make. And, now if i need a larb fix, I can make it myself.

[@wegotit2587]

This is a shorthand version of laabp, but the original form (the Lao versions) are much more complex, especially when dealing with raw meat Laapb (beef, shrimp, fish). The Thai style ones are more commercialized and the original Lao styles are not for the faint of heart, but it will elevate your palate to the next level of intense flavors.
