How to make authentic Pad Thai sauce at home

[w3bst3r123]

that is a lot of garlic....

[bordiguy]

can i get some pad thai with all that garlic ?

[geomoney2008]

There must be two completely different versions of Pad Thai sauce, because the one I know of that all the local restaurants use is the equal parts fishsauce to sugar recipe. I've tried making the tamerine version and it's a completely different flavor.

[wallykav1516]

I cant understand half of what she says :(

[tedoymisojos]

awesome!

[mrmelanson34]

how much of each ingredient does the recipe call for?

[watashiwaadilahdesu]

can i use the sauce straight away after making it? i mean like, do i really have to keep it refrigerated for two weeks? thanks :)

[bleeb129]

@watashiwaadilahdesu shes saying it will be good in fridge for up to 2 weeks. it wouldnt make any sense to store for 2 weeks then use it haha

[mizzwhatever253]

@watashiwaadilahdesu I think what she meant is that you can still use the sauce up to 2 weeks if you refridgerate it so that it won't get spoil.

[danderby88]

what did you do to the palm sugar to get it to be a liquid from the hard substance you originally had? Just add hot water???

[mizzwhatever253]

@danderby88 Yes, she said "hot water" so that the sugar palms melts to a liquid state

[toskevhlub]

Tamarind is sour already why still need vinegar?

[toskevhlub]

How much do I have to use all these ingredients?

[tastepadthai]

Any vegetable cooking oil is good. Not Olive oil, cause it burns too fast. Enjoy cooking and have fun with it.

[JaimieGamboa]

@tastepadthai what about using fish sauce instead of white vinegar?

[monkeyjack67]

whats the best oil to use?

[duece10]

I love your accent... you remind me of a friend of mine at Rizzis in Copley Ohio. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this. I am learning so much from generous souls like yourself....however you are all costing me alot of money and trips back and forth from 3 different Asian markets..:)

[radioactivetree2]

what are measurements

[AngelikavonDeutschla]

I had it tonight. But forgot to put in an egg. Is it okay ? I loved it that way without the egg.

[friedtubesox]

@mpixy, soak in warm water, wait and stlain it

[droid740]

Thank you!

[sweetasian1661]

thats allot of garlic.

[rocio421]

Can you please list the amount (how much) of each ingredient we need? Thanks!

[mpixy]

in my country tamarind is sold in bricks, so it didn't melt down properly, would it be a sacrilege to blend the final sauce?

[sokundara]

@mpixy u can soak it in warm water or place in microwave w water. Hope that helps bc I do the same things.

[Xtirpater]

How much of each did you use?

[XpresloX]

2:08 what is a difference between Vinegar and wine vinegar ?

vinegar taste sour.

Wine vinegar taste what ?

tks !

[ZacharyKSmith]

@XpresloX she said white vin

[XpresloX]

@ZacharyKSmith

nice thk !

[Blastable]

this is real pad thai souce,if u're can do it u can make everytime.

cuz I'm thai

[people16vt]

what about the quantities ?  doesnt matter much ?

[SpicySteveSorko]

Where's the fish sauce and lime juice. I know you can sometimes substitute tamarind for lime juice although I use both, however, fish sauce is the essential salty part of the sweet, salty and sour combination of favours that make pad thai so delicious.

[LilMermaidFairy]

@SpicySteveSorko she uses salt instead of fish sauce.

[SpicySteveSorko]

@LilMermaidFairy I have never heard of salt being substituted for Fish Sauce which is an integral ingredient in many Thai dishes and in Pad Tha in particular.

[LilMermaidFairy]

@SpicySteveSorko i know its not the same but i've seen her use it instead of fish sauce many times. and i have seen recipes that say you can substitute fish sauce with salt as well. its an easy alternative. :)

[fluffytom82]

@SpicySteveSorko She uses salt in stead of the fish sauce, I use soy sauce (coz I'm allergic to fish). Doesn't matter which you use, as long it is really salty :)

[ehfik]

there is no thing such as "too much garlic" !

[duece10]

Ya know I went for blood work the other day and had NO WHITE BLOOD PLATELETS.... they had all metastasized into small garlic bulbs......mostly because cancer runs in my family! Mom dad and sis all died from it.....hope all this garlic helps....

[djhinrg]

@1:00 Seriously people, I got -2 because I criticized on the amount of garlic?

[zepres]

It's not vely good to make pad Thai sauce w/out fish sauce.

[ghastlymess]

Wonderful. I've always made it with a much different kind of tamarind paste...more watery and pulpy. Now I know what to do. Just seeing this video answered a hundred questions. Thanks!

[confuser69]

Ghastlymess, did you know that tamarind comes in two forms? the watery pulpy kind you have, needs to be properly prepared before hand before you use. It requires being siffed to remove the pulp. You can buy it allready prepared in concentrate as you see here. This is more like molases. I buy one on amazon for $5.95. Do a search if you like for "Thai Tamarind Concentrate - 16 oz jar" It comes in a funny oriental blue colored container. Also, Instead of vinegar I use Tiparos Thai Fish Sauce

[djhinrg]

Good Lord! I'm going to need mouth wash and breathe mints from all those garlic and shallots!

[scottskitchen]

@djhinrg

Holy crap I love garlic but wow that's a lot!

[11you11]

do you have any rough measurements?

[mikee60369]

What were the amounts of each ingredient??

[mikee60369]

Garlic and shallots..

[Cernunnas]

cool! i wonder what it tastes like

[CharliesDaddy22]

it was garlic and potato

[GillianKH]

Pad Thai is my favourite!

[dafranx]

@GillianKH Pad Thai is my favorite too! I make something like Pad Thai out of ramen noodles.

[jeepmtl]

damn, that's a lot of garlic! Looks delicious

[wheresmyniche]

I thought the same thing!

[ishlovesjonty]

its better to heat the wok and THEN pour the oil in. the oil doesnt stick to the pan this way.

[theeSHXT]

You're seriously telling a thai person how to cook this?

[LuffHandles69]

They're right, though. It IS way better to heat the wok then add oil. Try it both ways before you just shoot me down.

Besides, being a "thai person" has nothing to do with it. Do you think everybody ever born in the US can make the perfect apple pie, or have you known plenty of people who couldn't cook if their life depended on it, even though they were an "american person"?

That's really, really dumb - like suggesting people naturally like certain foods because they're a certain color dumb.

[DanksterZone]

@theeSHXT

NO, she's telling dumbass americans how to cook it.

[NavyGod777]

@DanksterZone

No, dumbass. The poster of that comment was referring to another YouTuber that was trying to correct her pad thai sauce.

[DanksterZone]

@NavyGod777 That comment says nothing about another "youtuber trying to correct her", BTW I can tell you were insulted by the dumbass american comment probably because you are one.

[badlindz]

@theeSHXT

no Thai person...She's telling the world. Don't be Dumbass. 

[badlindz]

@theeSHXT

no Thai person...She's telling the world. Don't be Donkey.

[Darkshadow7890]

@theeSHXT i don't think she needs to do this for thai people that already know how to cook, she's telling people that don't know how you fool.

[SuperhumanChichi]

@Darkshadow7890 - theeSHXT is not a fool. She was correcting another person who was criticizing the person in the video. In other words, what she meant is that the woman in the video is Thai, therefore people criticizing shouldn't tell her how to cook it. Hope that clears things up :)

[deichbeat]

@theeSHXT so ,all thai can cook ?i don't think so .a friend of mine got offered a job as a cook ,just

because he's italian .
