HELLO LOVELY VIEWERS! Important Note: If you have questions about this recipe, you can post it here for the community to answer. But if you want to ask me, please get in touch via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or my website (all links are in the description above). If you leave questions in the comments I may not see them due to the large volume of comments I receive across the hundreds of videos on this channel. Also, before sending on any questions be sure to read the written recipe on the website as I often add extra tips and notes not covered in the video. Thank you for watching!

[@rimshatariq4615]

can we use toban djan instead?

[@anthonylife1108]

awsome

[@tmnprlsaicntr]

If you have Doenjang or Samjang paste instead of Taujiaw/Tauchoo/Miso, just go ahead and use it. The taste is quite similar

[@richiesd1]

I love that you teach the Thai name of the dishes. My local Thai restaurant is impressed how i pronounce my dishes. Haha

[@b0rtie]

I really love how you always emphasize the fact that we should taste our food. Sometimes people get so caught up in recipes and exact measurements; yes while recipes do serve their purpose - cooking is a lot more about feeling your food. In short, I love how more "organic" you are when it comes to your recipes. It gives a much more relaxed vibe!

[@PailinsKitchen]

+b0rtie Thanks! Yes, I am a firm believer in "organic" cooking :)

[@FiveStoryTreeHouse5]

Vegetable Pad Thai is my wife's go to dish when we go out, I made this tonight just as instructed, thanks alot, looks like we aren't going out anymore and I'll be cooking this every Thursday, but on a happy note, you are right, it is super easy. Please make more vegan recipes, you are a God send!!!

[@veganorama]

Looks fantastic! I'd love to see more vegan Thai recipes!

[@drapedgrape9016]

This was a huuuuge hit with my family & friends & one of my personal favourites now. Thank you for making it suitable for the plant-based community. please keep the vegetarian recipes coming! You’re an excellent teacher 😊

[@notsparks]

As a "Flexitarian" I toe the line between vegetarian & carnivore but am constantly on the lookout for good vegetarian dishes to bring that toe firmly over the line. This is going on my list of must tries. Thanks for sharing!

[@tazdeville55]

You need to be on the food channel. Been watching and cooking them myself, and your instructions are amazing! I love Thai food.

[@ToSleepToDream1]

I’ve been following you for a couple of years. You are my absolute go-to for Thai recipes. I just became vegan, so I celebrated when I found this recipe. I made this last night and it was Fabulous!! Thank you so much! Please more!

[@bearygoodbeans8169]

This is FAR superior to anything I have ever ordered in. Thankful that I now have a fantastic substitute for fish sauce. I love how you mention ways to personalize the dish. I adore crushed peanuts on the finished product. Warm greetings from TOronto!

[@talzei]

This is such an incredible recipe. I have tried it twice now and both times have turned out absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for giving this gift to the vegan community!

[@MinaEl-wi8cj]

I'm a vegan and have been craving a pad Thai, especially after spending a month in Thailand!! Thank you for this earthy and beautiful :)

[@LemLTay]

If a noodle dish looks like it's "clumping" too much, I always find that switching to a pair of (bamboo) chopsticks in each hand gives great control to lift, separate and toss the ingredients through without breaking up the noodles too much.

[@JY-zq5jk]

Yeah, a veggie pad Thai recipe! Please make more veggies dishes. I love watching you cook and learned so much from you.

[@jasminerice1600]

Look forward to try it. The caramelized sugar will definitely add another layer of flavor. Thanks, Pai. I love your channel. Congrats!

[@TheHappyangel8]

Always love your videos! May I ask what kind of oil do you use?

[@kaungphonn]

Love you ! And your food.

[@lisay07]

Can u make vegan version of papaya salad? I just found out I'm allergic to shrimp and crab but my cravings for papaya salad is so strong....doesn't help that I'm pregnant too.

[@CM-pt3vb]

Everytime I hear the greeting I just feel doing the bow with wording savadee krap since I was in Thailand in November. Food lloks so amazing and I just love vegan thai food(since I am vegan :) )

[@TheEssenceIsLove]

Amazing thank you for a vegan version 🥰 in Thailand I used to struggle finding this, so I just gave in and had their "vegetarian version' with fish sauce and tofu etc... I'm gonna try this out soon, I hope I can find the fermented soybean sauce in our area :)

[@midala40]

Nice, looks very yummy.

[@tsav6952]

Looks very good and healthy! Need to locate those sauces.

[@ajax377]

Looks awesome! Pad thai is always tasty so I'm sure I'd like this. :)

[@JT-T69]

Just cooked this today. So good! Thank you :D :D :D

[@demiusofficial]

Yay for me :). I don't know how I missed this one, but I will try it.

[@kibukiyears109]

Thank you so much! Please show some more vegan Thai recipes! My mum's also from Korat:) Kopkhun ka :)

[@kimigirl1621]

I made this today!! :D I didn't have the soybean or miso paste so I just left it out, but it still tasted soo good, this'll definitely be a regular dish

[@mossi8807]

I will definitely try this... Thanks, or is that "khob khun khrap?" 😊😊😄😄 Btw, you're pretty.

[@rayl2252]

pai! thx for all ur vlog, love ur recipe n ur presentation of each dishes, can u do some fish dishes, mango fish, curry fish....?

[@camilogonzalez7770]

Hello Pai, thank you for providing this alternative. I did your regular recipe and it was delicious, thank you for that one too. What type of oil do you use to cook? Thank you!

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

Hi Camilo! For deep frying or stir frying any neutral vegetable oil will do - but for deep frying she tends to use Canola, and for stir frying Avocado oil. Cheers! Adam

[@SnakeFreeChannel]

I learned to cook this at May Kaidee in Chiang Mai but your recipe makes it look so easy! I don't recall using palm sugar. Is that common in Thailand?

[@judyseckinger1252]

Now I will be able to pass these recipes on to my children and grandchildren!

[@jasonnarinian9416]

More vegan recipes!! Great job!!

[@kwanchanokr.1891]

I Love it.

[@BrotherSimonSSF]

Thank you so much for this recipe! I am Filipino and transitioning to vegetarianism, and was getting worried about satisfying my Asian food cravings. It seems like so many of my favorite Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Korean dishes rely on meat and/or flesh-based products (like fish sauce or katsuobushi). I have made this a couple of times and am so glad to be able to add it to my developing vegetarian repertoire....

[@nguyenchu8842]

thank you so much for making vegan pad thai. Can you make more vegan Thai food, please? Everyone loves Thai food ^^

[@angelesaliangan3799]

Thank you for making vegan recipes :)

[@wannacya]

[@dpl318]

Omg! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It’s the real deal. Taste exactly like pad Thai except it’s vegan.

[@ujjwalkumar2276]

[@armandcafiso311]

hello palin i live in khon kaen and i really love your recipes,but there is something wrong with the written recipe page there is a big brown color that cover alf of the page ..can you please look into it...blessings

[@cturner9356]

I've found your channel after visiting Thailand, I fell in love with Thai people and food! Thank you so much for not only sharing recipes but explaining what is everything and how to use it. Do you think is possible to find palm sugar in the states? Can I substitute it with something else- like brown sugar or agave? I am browsing through your recipes and I hope you have the pineapple fried rice with shrimp I had in Krabi!

[@PailinsKitchen]

+C Turner Palm sugar is relatively to find in Asian grocery stores. But you can use either brown sugar or agave instead though.

[@joshyv]

Palm sugar is available in Indian Grocery stores by the name 'jaggery' and occasionally called 'gor / gore or gur'

[@christoohunders5316]

Added cilantro leaves and some nems sauce before serving to "umamize" the dish a little further, yum, delicious, I can't get enough rice noodles !
