My mom is from Korat, Thailand and she makes this!! It’s absolutely delicious! Thai moms are the best cooks!!

[@ladyrex761]

If one's family does not like fish sauce at all, what would be a good substitute?

[@moiraswife]

@@ladyrex761 I've heard of people substituting fish sauce for caper brine

[@thatsaloadofcrap]

@@moiraswife Caper brine? sounds interesting, but where the heck do find that??

[@marisaford1120]

My mommy is Thai and I agree!!

[@nononotfun]

every mom is the best cook

I cooked this Sept 19,2019. I forgot to buy palm sugar so subbed brown sugar. My asian grocery didnt offer soybean paste so I purchased miso which is fermented soybeans and salt. I didn't get the same color as shown but the taste was pretty good. Somewhat of a unique sauce that I enjoyed (glad I got to use my tararind paste that's been hiding in my refrigerator for months.

[@AndySaenz]

I love her accent, I love that she’s half Thai and half Aussie. And she’s an amazing cook. I love Marion. 😍❤️

[@vymaruyama6960]

Love her accent and the way she talks. So sophisticated. Everything about her and her videos are beautiful! the way she stirs the noodle in the wok, the way she picks up the onions / chili’s .... Such an amazing woman! She is my idol!

[@terripearl1424]

I agree. I literally love everything about her! There is not a single recipe I haven’t loved and I love her voice, the way she speaks, her presentation. I even love the signature red lipstick! :)

[@hsd287]

Yes she's gorgeous too ❤

[@user-jc5ny4ob2r]

-Used maple syrup instead of sugar and palm sugar -used miso instead of tao jio -no tamarind used lemon juice and oyster sauce -added ginger, garlic and chilli while stir frying like u do in most of ur videos -added shredded cabbage instead of bean sprouts -used chicken -added some veggies I had in my fridge (peppers, mushroom, onions) -didn’t cook the eggs enough before adding through so it ended up more dissipated than scrambled but WAS SOOO GOOD THANK U

[@AndySaenz]

I just made this, and it’s absolutely delicious. I made it with Miso (Japanese soybean paste). Thanks, Marion! 😋🤤

[@Nitemaredaydream]

Finally!!!!! I have been trying to find the pad Thai that we fell in love with at our favorite restaurant that had closed. Had no idea it was Korat. Every pad Thai was flavorless compared to what we liked- including Marion’s meal kit (it was fine, just not what we have been looking for). This is as close has we have ever come. Omg was it tasty. Left off the chili’s, used miso and added ground peanuts. I am soooooo happy now. Now the quest for Tom yum gha continues.

[@user-yd8st4kc7i]

Marion is amazing. For authentic Thai food I also watch Pailin on her channel Hot Thai Kitchen. You could check her recipes out as well if you like!

[@AdrianeMarie09]

I can't get enough of your cooking videos. They are so eat to watch, your directions are thorough without being to wordy. I just love the way you talk about food, your passion translates through the screen. And you're GORGEOUS, I don't know why you don't have your own cooking show

[@jesshungerim4492]

Why is she so relaxing to watch ❤️

[@Ursaminor31]

Thai is seriously the best flavours. Same with Vietnam. And Laos Balance of everything

[@HAlimabushra123]

Agreed! Love Vietnamese flavors even their instant noodles are a hit

[@matronarona]

You should try Malaysian. Just as good!

[@kokekan75]

I wish you did an international takeaway service! 🤣

[@Marionskitchen]

LOL :-)

[@nataleemae]

I love Pad Thai so I'm definitely going to have to try it's spicier cousin!

[@novembersky3749]

its much easier 2 make & yummier than pad Thai!

[@chloebrown5856]

You make everything looks so blissfully simple. Such an inspiring cook!

[@Liv-ht7us]

The editing on this was perfection! Love this channel so much. Thank you Marion❤️

[@Marionskitchen]

Alessandra Mendoza thanks so much ❤️

[@sandyrice3559]

Pad Thai is one of my absolute favorite Asian dishes. This seems like it would taste a lot like Pad Thai due to many similar ingredients (palm sugar, tamarind, chili flakes), but it looks like it would be easier to prepare. Thank you for sharing this recipe; I will definitely try it soon!

[@Marionskitchen]

Sandy Rice I hope you like it Sandy!

[@novembersky3749]

yes its easier to prepare. i made it its YUM!

[@cindyr5423]

Made this last night! Was unable to find the palm sugar- tried substituting brown for palm as others have suggested and had the issue that it burned quicly. Switched to white and worked much better. The sugar did seize up and re-crystallized when I added shallots/garlic and then kept it on heat and it melted again. Someone had mentioned it was too sour, I actually found myself adding an additional tbsp of tamarind. Used chili flake- started with 1/2 tsp but ended up adding the full tsp as per the recipe.I am not a big spicy person but this was just spicy enough for me. Overall found it very reminescent of pad thai- and in the future may cut a little more sugar along with making more sauce.

[@cathysmith9712]

Marion, I love to watch you cook and love everything you make. You have encouraged me to try "out of the box". I so want your sauces and the fact you tell us how to make them is a blessing for us folks that cant buy them. God Bless

[@spendlessrecipe2022]

I love this food and I love This lady she’s soft spoken and sweet.

[@briannevin2087]

An endless supply of delicious, doable Asian recipes. Esp. love the noodle recipes. Marion, you are the best! Hi from Toronto, Canada.

[@supergenkilife]

Marion: I saw Nigella Lawson gave you credit and a shout the other day on her Insta ☆ It goes without saying you're both favorites of mine. I have been cooking Japanese (my mum's side is Japanese) and Korean for awhile now (big Maangchi fan) but hadn't yet tackled Thai (tho I love Thai food). Your channel has given me the confidence and inspiration to get cooking in my own kitchen. I'm also gonna get your sauces here locally as I think I saw them at the market (US). Thanks for the fab recipes. I am anxiously awaiting your hitting a million subscribers!

[@Marionskitchen]

supergenkilife oh thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ I’m a huge Nigella and Maangchi fan too!!!

[@__SAK__]

I just made this dish and am eating it now. Delicious!! I could have these noodles every day. The ingredients were not hard to find. I think the pork really adds some good flavor.🙂

[@sitmengchue4077]

Tao chio is Hokkien (a Chinese dialect) for soya bean paste and Marion, your pronunciation was spot on! I dont see it on the menus of Thai restaurants here. so thanks for sharing recipe!

[@luthfirom5709]

I'm Indonesian but thai food really got the best place in my heart honestly..n ur way of cooking just amazing.. Easy, simple but the result just WOW i can imagine how delicious this dish is.. Thank u so much for sharin❤️❤️❤️

[@FowlerKidsoFilm]

SO delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe! I added some Chinese broccoli to it for one son and left out the green onions and bean sprouts for another son. Love that we can adjust it for different preferences. The recipe worked great with ground chicken, too!

[@dnn1992]

Loving this! Can’t wait to try this. Marion, thank you for broadening my Thai food horizons!

Awesome recipe, I haven't had one of these in ages! By the way, can I just say that the cinematography on your channel has always been so on point? And even more so on this one. I mean just look at how those noodles slo-mo bounce (completed with you going "very nice" in the background) at 6:35. Props to the videographer!

I've been trying new dishes lately because I'm tired of the same ol' same.. Made this yesterday, doubled the portion... This was a FANTASTIC meal!! It was fun exploring the international market by my house, as a couple of the ingredients I've never heard of. Kids really enjoyed it too. Thanks!

Marion I am a Filipina and married to an American & I can definitely say this that he can cook awesome Thai cuisine, we both were in the military and travelled to Thailand countless times. We were and still amazed how friendly Thais were over there they love to smile a lot like Filipinos. Thai cuisine was both our number ONE favorite. Simple to make & delicious. Thank you so much for sharing yours & your mom’s recipes. I have piano student her name is also Noi like your mom she’s Thai/Filipino. It is possible for you to make Philippine food with a Thai twist? Kob Kun 🙏

Sounds good

yes kawee i CAN imagine but i need her som tum recipe badly!

[@lizaphong4150]

That is what Laos people eat it with as well. Except we have Phat Mee. It has similar ingredients without the soybean paste.

[@marisaford1120]

Do you make your Som Tom spicy? That's how my mommy makes hers!

I wish I saw this before cooking noodles last night. That said, your teriyaki sauce was sublime. I used the whole bottle to marinate the chicken then as a sauce for the whole dish. Yum yum yum. Next one to try is the sticky ginger sauce.

Hello my friend 👋 How are you doing?

[@robylove9190]

Wow, this is the second time this week that I have been the first to comment. Thanks for this great recipe Marion! I love the thin noodles.

[@Marionskitchen]

Always love hearing from you Roby!

[@shanechua8040]

Lovely. I love these thin rice noodles which we call “bee hoon”, literally meaning rice flour noodles. Interesting that fermented soybean paste is used - it’s a very common condiment used by southern Chinese. We call it “taucheo” which means bean (tau) sauce (Cheo) in our family dialect. Again, instead of spring onions, I am partial to using koochye or garlic chives. The flavour of the koochye will complement it very well I think. Interesting that so many Thai names of cooking ingredients have obvious Teochew dialect roots - koochye, kailan, taucheo, peh kwai (ginkgo nuts), kek hway (chrysanthemum).

[@ThePeteBkk]

You can also throw in bits of pork cracklings and chopped pickled cabbage. They go well together with Mee Korat.

[@scottrowe533]

You're correct, Marion, I never knew this dish existed. And I definitely plan to try it, as soon as I can round up the ingredients I don't already have in my pantry. Thank you!

[@annemariekellar3553]

Spicy and noodles! What's not to like? :)

[@bernalkoehrsen1333]

I love how well produced these are. So hungry for these noodles!

[@tmnprlsaicntr]

Taujiau or tauchoo is simply salted semi fermented sticky soy beans. Miso is ok for a replacement but having the beans in full form although split into half, makes a lot of difference. We love to use this in our noodles and fried rice dishes. They are the Life of any savoury dish!

[@caragio]

I was born in Korat. And this is one of our proudly present :-) PS: Eat with Som-Tam for most authentic experience.
