Same, same but different? Thai Beef Salad vs Vietnamese Chicken Salad | Marion's Kitchen

[@sharonadlam3195]

For me the difference between the two cuisines is that Thai is more in your face with lots of chilli and flavour explosions and Vietnamese is slightly more delicate, though it can still be spicy. 😊😊

[@Jeffffrey0902]

I agree. It just depends on how many chilies you put into your pho.🤣

[@skatingcanuck9837]

That's pretty much what she already said in the video.

[@skatingcanuck9837]

Vietnamese is not a spicy cuisine. There are some dishes like Bun Rieu that have spice and at Viet restos you have condiments to up the spice to your preference. Like Japanese food they have some options with spice, but neither cuisine is a a spicy one.

[@SueK2001]

OMG I’ve never been so early! I have always wondered what the difference was between Thai and Vietnamese cuisine other the Thai being really spicy. They both look delicious! Thank you Marion.

[@cc2016]

As a Thai person who loves to cook. I'm so happy that I found your channel ❤️ 🇹🇭 😋 ขอบคุณค่า

[@thuy_u]

I'm vietnamese but I just now realized that we've always been using the thai fish sauce without me ever questioning it :O

[@susannaadams6723]

😀😀

[@thanhtannguyen4340]

I think you don't live in VN because almost all Vietnamese do not use Thai fish sauce.

[@letue395]

Chê

[@Sofi-ji4jl]

Vietnamese is delicate, more refreshing, Thai is richer, more robust. If i pick one to eat everyday it'll be the Viet one because it's lighter. If i pick one to eat every now and then, it'll be the Thai one cause it packs a punch.

[@PCT6566]

I'm Thai. I don't think we have a "salad" per se in our cuisine. What foreigners call "salad" are called "yum" ,pun not intended 😂, which always mean "spicy"---and by spicy, I don't mean "hit" but rather with intense flavor. Also, we mostly eat our "yum" with rice so unless the flavors are there, it'll not work well with rice.

[@Kik-pv6yl]

Of course you’ll eat your Vietnamese food all day everyday because you’re Vietnamese folk😅

[@user-pd9ju5dk5s]

Nah, Thai everyday for me

[@TeddyFreddy94]

It’s the Pavlov’s dogs effect with Marion’s videos! My mouth is watering!

[@zzizahacallar]

Exactly! The best way of putting it. The drink looked so good

[@adeledupre]

Both DELICIOUS!!Thank you Marion👏❤

[@Kathy_Higginbotham]

@Marion, aren't we due for a video with Momma Noi in it ??? The Thai salad is my fav !!

[@dianneblom2048]

I agree. Miss Momma Noi 😉

[@cookingwithkooks341]

I come back to this channel for O.P.M. Other People's Methods. thanks for the ideas!

[@Cyberia398]

This video makes me so damn hungry… Thai beef salad is the first Thai dish I learned to make, back in the early 90s, as a teenager, when I was fairly new to Australia and Asian cooking. After cooking a lot of Indian and some Cantonese Chinese dishes I remember being so excited to find an Asian cuisine where salad is at the centre of a meal. It is my favourite kind of dish and Thai salads are the apex of the salad pyramid, IMO.

[@clintbeutel4818]

Great recipes/video. But where are the individual recipes? I keep getting, a 404 error when I try to connect to them on your site? Can this be fixed please? Because I really want to try/ cook them.

[@Marionskitchen]

Here they are! www.marionskitchen.com/thai-beef-salad/ www.marionskitchen.com/mama-nois-vietnamese-chicken-salad/ -Team Marion's Kitchen

[@summerwine121]

I ll try both! Looks so delicious! Am a big fan of fever tree too! You are teasing my hunger now 😂

[@devereuxxo]

Hey Marion, what is that pan you cooked the beef with? It looks fun and great for pan steaks.

[@peterdoe2617]

I'm german.( So: let's take this as a funny comment), The fish sauce: I have thw squid, the Megachef and (not even opened) the Red Boat one from Vietnam. Red Boat seems to be the only undiluted one on the planer. Comparing chicken and beef is a bit like apples vs. pears, isn't it? Mint: I grow 2 sorts in my garden. one is tasting like spearmint, the other like: mint-mint. So to say. I came to know, that there are about 300 different mint plants in existence. Which ones did you choose? (Let's talk latin names?) Just made your garlic-butter noodles last night. YUMMY! Along with garlic shrimp,described by Dzung Lewis(Honeysuckle, on here), Greetings from the far north of Germany!

[@Koi-studio]

I'm Korean-American but I lived in Thailand for 2 years and currently live in a Vietnamese neighborhood in Chicago call Little Saigon. I've tried all the Vietnamese places around here but I definitely favor Thai flavors more. Maybe because the flavors are more up front

[@zzizahacallar]

I could see that. I love Thai food. Vietnamese good I like as well.

[@LTRaider]

What are the boundary roads for Lil Saigon in Chicago?

[@doodahgurlie]

I think to compare food in Thailand and then compare Viet food in Chicago are totally apples and oranges. You may still prefer Thai food, but in order to compare equally, you have to live in Vietnam for 2 years as well. I don't think Vietnamese food is even known in Chicago. At least say you lived in the biggest Viet community in California for 2 years, then maybe MAYBE it'd be taken more as a fair comparison.

[@Koi-studio]

@@doodahgurlie Little Saigon is probably one of the most authentic Vietnames communities in the US

[@Koi-studio]

@@LTRaider It's basically Argyle bet Broadway and Sheridan

[@hn9382]

As a Vietnamese person I think there is a big misconception of the boldness of Vietnamese flavours. Most people view flavours as subtle and delicate but have only really eaten at pho restaurants. Most restaurants make food with more subtle flavourings as it appeases the masses to ensure flavour profiles aren’t too bold. However when eating in Vietnamese homes or family gatherings all the food is way more flavourful as it’s cooked as intended and not to appease the masses. Most of our food is salty, savoury and spicy.

[@1Tibs1]

Not always, I became an addict for Vietnamese food for its strength in flavor, it’s explosive to the palate. I do know what you mean when it comes to catering to others and that annoys me as it takes away (in every culture).

[@Liliaplayspiano]

This comparison is something always to be debated! Loved this video and would love to see more Thai vs Vietnamese dishes!

[@JonniePolyester]

I mixed everything up! Plus I added Chinese 5 spice to the steak marinade 😮🤗

[@nilnz]

Is the Vietnamese salad the same as the one with rice vermicelli or do you have it on its own? wrt Thai Beef salad - is it eaten on its own or with a carb of some sort like rice or glutinous rice?

[@MD-ef7nl]

Both are delicious.

[@rachaelmccord2035]

I want both salads 🤤🤤🤤

[@SirBrass]

I've been a fan of fever tree for YEARS. Though I can't tell the difference between it and something like Schweppes on their own, in a Gin & Tonic with the SAME gin, the taste difference is very distinct. If you wouldn't use a cheap gin because it just doesn't taste good, don't cheap out on the tonic either!

[@its_frida]

I can´t find the recipes. When I click on the name I get redirected but the page says Error, it doesn't exist.

[@jdahnscott]

I have a question regarding the mint... I've always heard to "spank" mint leaves to release the flavor. I noticed in your videos that you don't ever do this. Would this practice be only for a cocktail purpose or is it something else? Should this even be a practice with cooking?

[@jdahnscott]

I used to bartend, hence why this practice is in the front of my mind, but I've always been curious about it. Cheers!

[@danknuggetry127]

It’s a wanker thing. Nobody talks about spanking anything expect these people, sorry to tell you mate

[@wire3989]

For foods I don’t think we need to because you’ll eat the leaves whole and mint oil releases as you chew, so no need to spank.

[@doodahgurlie]

You probably don't want to do that to mint as it's a delicate herb and will likely oxidize into an unappealing color. Handle it gently and add right before eating.

[@jeanniebrooks]

I noticed she used a very large portion of mint. You don’t need to bruise it like when you muddle it for a cocktail. On the difference between the two salads, the Vietnamese one seems an awful lot like a Chinese chicken salad, including that it’s sweet and has peanuts. Chinese chicken salad usually has mung bean sprouts, in my limited experience. (I’m not Chinese but I live where there is a large Chinese population and so, a lot of restaurants.)

[@grookeys]

Loved this. Thanks Marion!

[@WW-gx5kk]

Loved seeing your Mom!❤❤

[@IamTinaSimone]

Beef Salad is my favorite 😊

[@kimberlykopisca4539]

The both look Delicious!!!

[@cmcclellan100]

They both look yummy!

[@mysticseraph2213]

I'm a weirdo. I think I'd like the Thai salad with chicken instead of beef. Only because I'm not a big beef eater. But I really appreciate the "zing" of the Thai ingredients

[@Kik-pv6yl]

You can use chicken, beef, or pork or even seafood it depends on your preference

[@cookshackcuisinista]

In all fairness, can you compare beef to chicken salads?

[@siquanwu3131]

Vietnamese salad for me because I love that sweetness and dried onion

[@jmchau]

ooh. I'm just getting ready to go to the grocery and they do carry fevertree. I think i'll pick up some tonic and maybe ginger beer.

[@jim.pearsall]

I’ll have them both! 🤤😋😛👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

[@feverspell]

Speaking as someone who knows nothing about Asian cooking, other than what I've learned from Marion, I'd guess that the biggest difference between Thai and Vietnamese cuisine would be one is probably somewhat influenced by French cooking and the other isn't. I mean, Vietnam used to be a French colony, and even their most famous dish (aside from pho), the banh mi, is served on a baguette and includes liver pâté.

[@doodahgurlie]

Only certain recipes are French-influenced, the chicken salad she showed here isn't French influenced and there are a million varieties of that salad for the Vietnamese folks...there's a cucumber version that is thinly sliced, salted, and squeezed dry, for example. There are also versions that used pickled veggies. All kinds of veggies can be used in place of the typical cabbage/carrots. I'd say the main difference in Thai and Vietnamese is that Vietnamese is known for a ton of fresh herbs, veggies, dips...and a ton of things are wrapped before eating. Thai flavor is stronger and the food is a bit heavier than Vietnamese food. I'd even argue the origin or inspiration of the Thai salad Marion made on here as I don't think salads like that are typical in Thai cuisine whereas it's prevalent in Vietnamese cuisine.

[@sidds3180]

Dax: We all know which one is better Marion (in a high pitch, incensed at the implication): WHY?! WE'RE JUST..WHY!! OH! K! ☠☠☠

[@des1595]

Im from the Philippines I love both Thai and Vietnamese but I prefer Thai food the most

[@TheStoicMindset]

As long as I can wrap it in my rice paper, I will bite, crunched, munched party in my mouth and leave no crumbs. Not a single crumb will be left behind.

[@susanf6612]

I feel like Thai and Lao food are more similar, than Vietnamese.

[@cathyevans8014]

Agreed

[@GV-su9ov]

Well, I have to try these two. Looks both yummy.

[@brokenglassshimmerlikestar3407]

Why choose? I like both and I'd make them at different times. I've been warned by my doctor about my cholesterol though so I'll be eating less beef

[@alpukat_cereals]

Most of thai food r too hot n sour 4 me😂 So if i ever have to choose between thai n viet foods , id choose vietnams food👍 But i like thai's fruits👍👍 mangoes , coconuts , durians... Theyre really good at improving the fruits quality👍

[@tmcmc5227]

I am both half Thai and Vietnamese 😂

[@christianchauhan23]

💛 all your videos #MARION👍

[@lws08141]

I will take one of each.

[@thendupsherpa6769]

Both look delicious but I would go for the Thai beef salad as I am not really into sweet salads. But I would not mind garnishing my Thai beef salad with peanuts and shallots. Also, love beef more than chicken 🥰

[@ayc1997]

I prefer the Thai salad because of the spice and ingredients. However, the Vietnamese salad has a lighter taste that I would choose if I want to ear “clean.”

[@TheShanechristian]

the type of salad that i am willing to do meal prep for

[@tammymcceig6518]

Why does she have to pick one? They both look wonderful..

[@steven5ism]

Allow me to interject. I'm Lao half Fahlung. But I know this is so Fahlung. Let's do Lao, Larb, padak, all the herbs .make it rare with sticky rice. It's a dish. Ask my school friend Linda Chen. Yup were Laotion.

[@deannbennetsen4382]

The chicken salad

[@Pastadudde]

lmao the scream sound effect

[@unscripted483]

One has chicken the other had beef... there you, DIFFERENT. 🤣🤣🤣

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

... there you are* ...

[@captainmorgan7386]

The Thai salad please. I'm not testing the fish sauce.

[@TrashCats]

Thai beef salad for the win it has more kick and flavor than the Vietnamese one

[@BangEtoy]

Nice sharing yummy

[@devereuxxo]

People really ask you what the difference is? Wow haha. Like.. very.

[@conventionists]

🤤

[@Jupe367]

If there is a choice between Thai and Vietnamese. I would choose Thai food.

[@nicolemagaric706]

Both look awesome.... but I would put a drizzle of marions coconut siracha on top.....I recently purchased this and it has become my favourite thing... it goes on almost everything.... thanks marion for making a product that is not full of poison n chemicals...... just shows how unnecessary these toxic ingredients are...

[@DailyJAB]

lol i want both but gimme the steak first

[@charleswallace2080]

I like the Thai beef salad because it has so much more flavor for me. I lived in Thailand for a total two years and loved all the food over their. If fact it's my favorite food of all the Countries I've ever been in. I love food especially if it has Thai peppers in it.

[@walterstrahota2956]

Thai for me no contest.

[@ogcryptodaniel]

both are delicious. the vietnamese salad is missing the eggrolls and nuoc mam. hell yea

[@ZeldaJeanE]

I’ll have to vote Thai beef salad as I like spicy & don’t like anything chicken, but the Vietnamese flavor profile would be good with beef too, depends on mood.

[@asuraj4289]

Uhm, one has chicken the other one beef 🤷🏾 Hope I've answered you question mam

[@kittitatwong994]

คนไทยไม่กินแบบนี้นะผมว่ามันคืออะไรคับ555

[@Carlos-to9yt]

Thai is better!

[@aamenahkhan6108]

Tempted by ur food

[@skatingcanuck9837]

Respectfully Marion it is better to say "MAKRUT LIME LEAVES". Kaffir is word with a racist history in South Africa as a derogatory name for Black African people. I realize many people like yourself use the word without knowing this and without any negative intention, but please use the updated non-derogatory term "makrut lime leaves".

[@jittapootowasakun1960]

i'm a Thai vegetarian, i don't eat both of it, but Thai salad made me salivating more 5555555555555
