PRE-ORDER YOUR "LET ME FINISH" TEE! briantsao.downrightmerch.com/

This isn't "making it healthy". It's making it wrong and disgusting. I'd rather starve than eat that.

Jamie constantly trying and failing to bring himself to take a second bite of that abomination of a Pad Thai was like when Cooking with Jack refused to take a second bite of his party cheese salad

I've made vegan pad thai basically using what Uncle Roger said (made the vegan fish sauce from scratch using mostly seaweed and mushrooms). The rest is pretty straightforward. It's not rocket science, but Jamie has a natural talent for messing up simple recipes.

To think that there would be a Jamie Oliver recipe where we would be begging for chili jam and olive oil.

I remain convinced that Jamie comes up with these recipes by looking at a picture of the original dish, picking up whatever he can find at the local supermarket that looks vaguely like the picture and then making it up as he goes along. The majority of his typical audience won't know the difference so he's been able to get away with it for decades

For Jamie Oliver, "healthy" is a buzzword that means "making the food worse"

The only reason why he's bringing up "dry frying" is because he has a series of non-stick cookware with Tefal.

I figured out the sauce a couple of weeks ago! Jamie, being English, is used to that terrible salad cream stuff they use in England. He's substituting silken tofu for it. Effectively he's attempted to make a stir fry into a salad, and winds up with something closer to a Thai waterfall salad (though still miles off from that too). I make veg pad thai routinely. I use pineapple based "fish" sauce, tamarind, and palm sugar. It's not that hard, Jammy-boy. Oh, but Marion Grasby's pantry pad Thai (approved by her very Thai mother) is a really interesting take.

"Who hurt you?" with a sincere look of concern....Frenchie is so adorable 😊😊😊

Some how Jam-ie Olive oil found out that Rachel Ray had the worst Pad Thai and was like "hold my beer."

Jamie Oliver constantly inflicts psychic damage across the internet. His 'health food crusade' is also kind of a joke. No one wants to eat that. It you want to make healthy pad thai, just make it normally with shrimp or mushroom, jeez. But I am glad that you and your friends are watching these together! Thanks for uploading your reactions, I love watching the two of you especially since you're experienced and funny at the same time :)

The instructions on Asian noodles are not just mostly wrong or inpercise, they are also usually translated poorly at best. The Mie Noodles I can get from my grocery store tell me to soak the noodles in hot water for 60 minutes. Not seconds, MINUTES. Just for shits and giggles I tried it once and they disintegrated. the water turned beige after 30 minutes and that was that.

15:19 In Thailand, we put water while cooking Padthai only when rice noodle is not cooked or rehydrated. This is the old technique by old Thai people called “Shadnam” a difficult technique. Cuz you can’t put water too much or too less. But if rice noodle is rehydrated, no need to put water in pan again. It is going to be destroyed and overcooked. 😢😢😢😢

Jamie oliver is like sid from toy story, sid like to experiment with toy like mad scientist

Jamie forgot one of his favourite vegetables... peas!!!

I'm vegan and I've made my own versions of this dish before for my s.o. who actually is Thai... so, while I do think it's totally fine to create vegan or "healthier" (debatable) versions of Pad Thai, THIS IS MADNESS.

We need to see you guys react to Jamie Olive oil's lasagna, that will flip Frenchie off 100%

One of the ten commandments of asian cookery, never ever pound silken tofu.

I would love to hear Jamie Oliver respond to one of Uncle Roger's reaction videos. I expect he can't because he knows there is no excuse.

Bro, you have no idea how much i waited for you to react to this.....this monstrosity of a dish 😂😂😂

This by far the most ruined Asian dish ever by Jamie Olive oil!! Even a leg down from chair wasn't enough😂😂😂😂!

Im glad this was brought up because I think about it every time I see a Jamie Oliver video. Jamie's cooking doesnt improve because he doesnt seem to acknowledge criticism. Other famous "bad chefs" see the reactions to their dishes (and not just Uncle Rogers), and use them to make changes. They even mention the critiques in their videos. Not so with Jamie. I'm not even sure Jamie knows he's doing things incorrectly.

Best example of really good contrast of hot and cold is hot apple pie with ice cream.

I'm a Thai person and I don't have much to say. I mean, I don't know where to start nor do I know where to end. I just don't know man. Nothing made sense.

Jamie Oliveoil makes Kay look like a cooking goddess; at least she does her best and doesn't pretend to be some kind of expert

His producer did release a statement stating he has a team of experts making sure all of his recipes are culturally appropriate.

Jamie make my ancestors cry and I'm not even Asian.

jamie is such the charming charlat@n , he can sell the world anything and everything, picks out the recipes just for names and like mostly a blank canvas he slatters on his own ingredients and people love it like a jackson pollock. clothes of the emperor story, when you see it you see it.

Brian, You and Frenchy should show the proper way of cooking Pad Thai, Always look forward to Thursday and Sunday to watch the 2 of you!

I can't even call him ChefJaime anymore. He's just Jaime Olive-Oil now......

I've never made phad thai in my life and I'm certain my first attempt would be a vast improvement over that bowl.

Just gotta take a moment to appreciate the editor of these videos! Thank you for putting the recommended vids and making such a fun video for us each time!

The lack of seasoning disturbs me a lot...

3:45 can confirm, I grew up having sesame oil in Chinese dishes, only had "real" Korean food starting form university, and still associate it more with Korean than Chinese Sesame oil + malt vinegar is a great dumpling dipping sauce though

“No way jose” actually made me mad (because I’m Mexican) to hear come out of Jamie Oliver’s mouth.

That 'Who hurt you?' by Frenchy killed me 😂

"Dry fry" is just Jamie Oliver's fancy way of saying "burning stuff in a pan without any seasoning or fat to bring out flavor" 😂

Apparently tofu can and has been used in sauces before. But what I can say for sure is that whatever the heck Jamie did to that poor tofu was nothing like how such sauces are made.

I am going to agree with Frenchy, " Who hurt Jamie?" His childhood must have been a nightmare.

Him dry-frying an egg is just him marketing how good his pan is at not sticking.

ive been really liking your back to back episodes, the ones where you have someone eviscerates the dish and then someone who makes it by the book, if not better.

Just when you thought Rachel Ray couldn’t be topped in the world’s most criminal Pad Thai recipe

"I'm Thai and I showed this to my mother. She just said, 'What the hell is he doing?'🤣🤣🤣

That face of chef Paul when he heard this joke😂😂💀💀: 05:58

That sauce on the pestle and mortar though, it looks like I chucked into the mortar and Jamie was like, 'yup, that works'.

Hi Brian, i'm not new to your chanel but this is my first comment😊 I'm Thai, btw While in Thailand we don't usually use shoyu(japanese soy sauce) for Thai dishes but we have Thai soy sauce that commonly used for Thai dishes called "ซอสปรุงรสฝาเขียว" it's Thai language you can copy and search for pictures😊 Always love your videos

Lime juice will turn bitter in high heat. That is why you add it after turning the heat off when making Tom Yum Goong. Pad Thai is made using super high heat, so adding the lime anytime before the dish is done will alter the taste. Bam!

I heard Jamie Oliver is going to do a cameo in the next episode of the Acolyte in order to destroy the internet.

I was waiting for your take on this. It very reassuring to see professionals equally appalled by these recipes. 😂

Do any of you remember the disaster of Jamie Oliver trying to take over Los Angeles School district lunches?

In Poland we often char the onion, it's a very common and old technique. It could be done over the fire, gas stove or on the dry frying pan. We add charred onion to broth / stock to build extra flavour depth. Works great! Maybe Jamie Olive Oil tried to mix this Central-European trick into Thai dish 😜

The Metalocalypse guitar swear bleep is my favorite 😆

I just watched last weeks episode, literally 20 minutes ago, what a gift

I was confused by the tofu in the pestle and mortar, then I think I figured it out, tofu is made of soy beans, and several types of sauces are made from soy beans too. That being said, he could have used soy beans instead and saved the tofu as a topping or used it in a different dish (I would recommend Mapo Tofu 😋). Also, as much as I would love to see a video collaboration between Uncle Roger and Jamie Oliver, I don’t think it’s gonna happen, because that would require Jamie admitting that he’s made mistakes, something he has never done before due to his ego.

crushing tofu is like blending a baguette

I said it before, and I'll say it again. There is only one way to settle this Uncle Roger/Jamie Oliver feud: KITCHEN STADIUM. Those two go at it, Iron Chef style. Chef Morimoto comes in as the Chairman, and gives them the secret ingredient. Chefs Brian and Frenchie call the play-by-play/color commentary. Chef James Makinson, Auntie Esther, Auntie Hersha, Cowboy Kent, and Iron Chef Dad are on the judging panel. Let them go at it, and see who wins.

So I've seen like 20 Jamie Oliver videos and when I saw this one I was like "surely this is, like, rock bottom". And I'm glad to see EVERYONE agrees lmao. Everything is wrong but what gets me the most is the sauce - even if the sauce was RIGHT... WHY ARE YOU MAKING THE SAUCE IN THE PESTLE AND MORTER? YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, LISA.

I don't think he was intending to make a vegan or vegetarian dish. He just wanted to use a lot of veggies. As a vegan, I usually have to scrutinize a menu item that says "veggie" as that could mean a million things.

7:14 The look of pure terror when the lime comes in, stop him mid sentence

It makes me wonder where Jamie Oliver gets all these bizarre ideas for Asian food.

you can use fish sauce if you're pescetarian, but i don't consider pescetarian to be vegetarian. fish are animals/meat, pescetarians are meat-eaters who just choose not to eat mammals/birds. it's different from ovolacto vegetarians since you don't have to kill an animal to get eggs/milk; you absolutely have to kill fish to make fish sauce. their entire bodies go into that sauce.

And to top it off, Jamie eats it with chopsticks. Pad Thai is not eaten with chopsticks.

7:26 I LOVE THIS "Explain why!" But then 7:36 that instant recognition that this "dish" is beyond help is epic ahahahah

25 years ago, I was so poor, and sometimes homeless. There was a Thai place where if I brought my own plate, they'd fill me up with Pad Thai for a dollar. I doubt it was the best, but it was so good. 1$ Pad Thai that tasted like peanut butter, and green curry paste, seems so much better than Jammy Olive Oil's dish. Kept me alive for another day back then, so maybe I'm biased. I do know which I'd choose now, though.

If it's veggie you can usually get away with egg but no fish or meat based products. At least that's how it has been in my house.

Pad Thai-me to throw it in the rubbish

If the thai chef from Chef gordon ramsay's video saw this, he would absolutely have a field day with tearing into Jamie Oliver's version.

Oh i was waiting for the guys to react to this!!! 😂😂 thank you!!!

As an English person, Jamie doesn’t represent us there are tons of trained professionals who would t touch this recipe with a barge pole. Look if you want proper English chefs Marcus warring Marco Pierre white Simon runner these guy a trained correctly and btw even home chefs would t touch this they would research

As a Thai i find this very disrespectful for not doing homework properly before hand Jamie really grind my gear

I just had pad Thai for the first time in nyc a few days back. Was incredible. I was blown away. I don’t think any other pad Thai can live up to that flavor experience. I miss it already.

Credit is where credit is due: No olive oil. No jam. …cold comfort, but there you go.

I would really like to point out how nonchalant Frenchy has been so far in these reactions. Yes he can tell Jamie is doing bad stuff but it's all from a spectator's view. It's like watching war crimes happening on the other side of the world. It's horrible, sure, but you are just watching from the sidelines. Until your Lasagna video and this is why I love that video so much. You can tell that Frenchy finally FEELS the outrage. Now the war in on home soil and he finally can relate to how the rest of us have been suffering.

I love that the instant the video starts, Frenchie is staring at the screen like he's trying not to call Jamie something that would get the video demonetized.

I was watching the pad thai video last night and was wondering if you had reacted to it 😂 It's a train wreck of a recipe. Due to allergies, I have to substitute the shrimp paste and fish sauce, but otherwise I don't mess with the recipe. Can't wait for the pho episode!

Every time you guys say that Jamie Oliver is the enemy of flavor, this picture comes to my mind. Him, as a super villain, with his minions, Jack and Kay, and riding against him a Captain Planet kind of hero, but where Brian, Frenchy and others summon him by tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami. Anyways, Jamie has proved that he can make good food. Why can’t he just stick to his forte or at least be honest and say that those are his recipes, which are loosely based on the traditional ones. Keep up the great content guys 👍

Remember when the video of Gordon Ramsey making a fail Pad Thai dish for a Thai Chef went viral a long time ago. I wonder how that Thai Chef will reaction to Jamie's Pad Thai dish because it is way worst than Gordon! LOL 😄

Also (I mentioned this in Chef James’ channel as well but just for some education) dry frying （乾燒） is a legit Chinese cooking technique, but that means one quickly draw out the moisture from the surface with hot oil to get a crunchy chewy texture. Examples include Szechuan-style dry fried string beans and Cantonese dry fried ho-fun (rice noodle).

This is luterally the best content on KZfaq 😂

"Fish can't make sound," they have never heard the terror of a dojo loach screaming.

You two should react to Sorted food, not only is it entertaining, it's informative , they do lots of work with charities, they have there own app which gives you a 3 day meal shopping list which whole purpose is to lower cost of living by reducing food waste and have had guests on there show from popular chefs and cooking critics such as our dear uncle Roger to royalty like Prince William

man you really should print some BINGO cards for those reactions :D

isn't "dry fry" just called uh, toasting? like when you toast some spices lol

reacting to a spoof react is like 3 steps down the human centipede

The fact that the tofu is crushed in a pestle and motar is literally the final nail in the coffin

Uncle Roger is keeping Jamie's career alive. So nice of Uncle Roger!

Recent subscriber, late to the party, trying to catch up. Loving the content, the bromance is real. Frenchy’s got me missing my French teacher from 25 yrs ago very much, it’s that attitude it’s very endearing. She was only a little older than him, grew up in the countryside outside of Paris circa WWII… 😉 j’aime vous Frenchy et Brian.

I'm starting to think it's ego, celeb chefs fuck up the most basic foods and steps because they think they are a prodigy. "yeah this is a banger idea" *throws jam on a taco*

One note on the tofu. There *are* circumstances you might run tofu in a food processor or similar to blend it down. Silken makes a great chocolate pudding. Ground firm tofu can be used as one (of several) ingredients of vegan burgers, it can also be added when making seitan to make it more firm. There are other situations. This ain't it though. As for your definitions on vegetarian (not sure if you'll see this as video is a week old) strictly speaking vegetarian is the diet we vegans follow and is completely plant based and vegan is simply our ethical stance that includes a lot more than diet. That said colloquially vegetarian has sort of become synonymous with lacto/ovo or lacto-ovo vegetarian which allows milk and/or eggs - so in a vegetarian pad thai you might expect there to be an egg there, but no fish sauce. The version of vegetarianism that allows for fish is pescatarian. That said, he also called this "veggie" not vegetarian. Veggie in this context being mostly a bullshit word that people and companies use to give the image of something being vegetarian or vegan without being held to standards if they used vegetarian or vegan.

I love watching Jamie Oliver. Really helps with my dieting.

When I saw crushing tofu, I imagined crushed curd cheese (common cheese in Eastern European countries), and in sauce the texture of those curd granules would irritate me. I am actually learning a lot from those reaction videos, because I get two tier explanations and insights for many things. And the insights from different food cultures point of views.

I just realized why there was soo much sesame oil used. Hes substituing olive oil, hes obsessed with it and somehow learned that this dish cant use it so he now substituted it for sesame oil and treats it the same way as he does with the other. Hes a crazy health nut without the knowledge to be healthy!

It's not Jamie Oliver's fault. He was just unlucky enough to have been born in Britain. My condolences

There's a reason street stalls in Thailand make Pad Thai out of simple ingredients, because you won't need to change anything.

Cooking vegetables in a wok without oil is a technique in some Chinese recipes. Chinese chives are often cooked this way, but it can work for other vegetables as well.

13:00 Blow Torch. Crystalize the sugar in half a second. I miss making Creme Brule. We took them off the menu a few years ago. Alright maybe I miss sneaking into the cooler to eat them...

I mean... "dry frying" is a VERY nieche technique used mostly for shrooms. You don't want your shrooms soggy when you fry them, so you first "dry fry them". Medium heat, clean pan, mushrooms and fry them until they're slightly browned. Then you toss butter/olive oil and aromatics. Tastes WAY better than just tossing shrooms straight into your oil of choice

Reacting to a reaction, priceless. I should do a video reacting to you reacting to Uncle Roger's reaction. It'll be turtles all the way down (bet you won't get that "turtles" reference without googling it).

The only thing I know that can be "fryed" without oil is something that already contains fat in itself... for example Guanciale, bacon etc... because the fat melts and takes the place of the oil, It's like using lard. Onions (or that stuff Jamie used), has no fat... how the hell do you fry something, without oil or any fat? Mystery...😵‍💫
