4 Levels of Pad Thai: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious
Рет қаралды 1,422,630
Күн бұрынWe challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur John, home cook Natasha, and professional chef instructor King Phojanakong from The Institute of Culinary Education - to stir fry us their preferred Pad Thai recipe. Once each level of chef had finished and tasted their final product, we asked food scientist Rose to explain their choices from an expert's perspective. Which Pad Thai take the prize in your eyes?
Check out the level 3 recipe here on the ICE blog: www.ice.edu/blog/pad-thai-recipe
Keep up with John at @johndlopresto

Chef King is on Instagram at @kumainn_uminom

I'm reading several comments on King's choice of adding Chinese sausage to his pad thai. Guys, he's Thai/Filipino. I'm sure he knows what is traditional and what is not. He never claimed his recipe was traditional. As a level 3 chef, i think he's expected to add his own twist on the dish.
@johnyaya1041 3 жыл бұрын
I think the sausage, regardless of authenticity is an awful choice both as texture and flavour. The fried prawn is also dumb. The egg wrap form factor is sus, but I'd willing to try it.

The tamarind paste is really important in getting a proper Pad Thai flavor. John added citrus in the form of lime, which is just not the same. A lot of people don't like tofu because they don't know how to work with it. Straight out of the package, tofu has very little appeal in flavor or texture. However, properly frying the tofu is one way to really improve the texture, and tofu is a flavor sponge. It takes up the flavors that you cook it with. Seasoning the oil with some salt, pepper, and chili flakes alone will make a big difference, and give it a little time to drink in the Pad Thai sauce flavor to get it to peak.

It’s nice to see King here as the professional chef for this episode because he really has a great personality and he really seems like he loves his job. It’s kind of upsetting to see how many people really disliked his formation of the dumplings in the previous video, but it was true, his dumplings did not look very good. I think it’s also really interesting to see the level 2 chef making a vegetarian version of Pad Thai, I do not see that very often at all. As for the level 1 chef, he has a very goofy personality, but he definitely has a lot to learn in terms of making a Pad Thai because his Pad Thai was very simplistic and he did not really include all of the flavor and texture components of one like the lack of tofu, peanuts, palm sugar, and tamarind paste, but he did not do that bad of a job.
@user-cp1lj3bn3b 3 жыл бұрын
Really? I thought his dumplings were really good! Xiaolongbao dumplings are so hard to make, so it's impressive to see him make them without them breaking and in a good shape. I think everyone was just more biased to Level 2's dumplings because they're much more common and traditional (which is good though).

None of them are authentic but I’ll tell you what. I’m damn sure that last one, taste so much better than an authentic plate or bowl of Pad Thai. Man added so many flavors, textures, and the presentation looks amazingly delicious.

As a native Thai, I find these dishes a little too complicated. The best padthai I've eaten was from Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown, and guess what it cost only 1.3 dollars (40 baht). The female cook used only a few ingredients such as peanuts, tofu, sugar, and soy sauce. The crucial step in making padthai delicious is using wok - not a regular or teflon pan.

None of these are traditional and that slightly hurts the Thai part of me (Italian/Thai person here though so this isn't coming from a traditional Thai), but I came to terms with this vid and I love that a) people care this much about Thai culture/food (same thing really) and b) the ingenuity of elevating the original, from amateur to pro. Traditional doesn't always mean correct and I'm happy with that. Besides, what Thai cooks like their neighbour anyway.

The level 3 chef just brought back a memory from my year abroad in Thailand I had forgotten. The best pad thai in Bangkok was served by a couple with their grill/supplies hooked up to a motorized scooter. Once a week they parked by the university and they served their pad thai in an omelet, just like that! 30 baht ($1) per plate!

I’m sooooo glad that my country’s food got into this show hahahh Just for the info the like very tradition Pad Thai was with no shrimp or chicken in it but the tofu and we put the little dry shrimp instead. And for the scallion part, we use the cousin of it which called chives. And lastly, the traditional one will add the chili flake into it for the hit and the lime juice after finished before we dig in it. Ps. King nailed it with the fish sauce Lmao
