I just made this. I cheated because I couldn't find fresh mackerel at the supermarket today so used smoked mackerel instead, which is also cured, firm and salty. Wow. The ingredients don't seem to add up to much and this dish has no business being as delicious as it is, but there's an amazing balance between the ingredients that perfectly complement and contrast textures and flavours. It just works. I can't wait to eat it again and it's only been ten minutes...
Thanks to P’Pai these days I ALWAYS put my broccoli on the grill whenever I go to a Korean BBQ place and people are just losing their mind on how good it becomes!
Fun fact: Kosher salt was originally used for "koshering" meat, which is just salting raw meats to draw out the blood to make them kosher for the Jewish diet. So coarse grain kosher salt that chefs are always using these days is perfect for this salted fish recipe, it's literally what it's made for.
I never browned the broccoli in my wok, just cooked regular and a bit crunchy. That extra step in the beginning looks good. This whole recipe looks great. 👍
Thanks Pailin, this and your Wombok with garlic and fish sauce are my favourite Thai vegetable dishes now. You're a great RUclips chef, should be on TV
I use to hate stir fried veggies with salt cured fish, but when I had it with alcohol! It changed everything. The combination of funk and liquor works, like cheese and wine.
OMG! This is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! I love mackerel though. Your 5-spice cauliflower is great too! Please keep the veggie recipes coming!
I'm so anxious to try this recipe if for no other reason, but to allow me to experience my own FIST OF FLAVOR! Love your videos. Thanks for sharing these great recipes.
Pai's five spice cauliflower recipe has been my go-to cauliflower prep for years and I've done that with broccoli as well. I'll have to give this a try at some point but it'll definitely be hard to beat the five spice and crispy garlic :)
This makes me think of my favorite way to cool broccoli which is with anchovies, garlic, capers, and just a little squeeze of lemon for brightness. I like the tip of cutting the broccoli for better surface cooking.
Fantastic recipe! So easy to make, none of the ingredients are hard to come by and the flavors are great. I used salmon, broccoli (with the smooth side trick!) and some Thai 🌶. Wonderful and great weekend meal. We aren’t even broccoli people in this house and there was none left.
I did your brocolli trick while making udon noodles. But this time I had the inside scoop, so I got my salt fish, my beef, some other stuff and i made beef broth udon w/saltyfishbeef, mushroom and brocolli (with flat sides!!!) I usually like the tree look but the taste didn't lie. You are angel of thai cooking. If you ever need a husband for some reason ME ME ME ME. JK. But you're amazing keep making stuff and I will keep using your recipes as inspiration.
mmmm i've never seen salt cured fish used that way :O but that totally makes sense! I use dried shrimps with veggie stirfries all the time. I bet this will be delicious :3 Gonna try this next time I get mackerel! (love mackerel hehe)
I can't wait to try this! I love stir-fried regular old American broccoli and REALLY love gai lan (Chinese broccoli), especially with toasty charred bits and oyster sauce. I'm guessing the salted fish will add even more umami and I'm looking forward to making my own salted mackerel! love the tip about the flat cuts on the broccoli; I'll definitely start doing that. I also always peel and cut up the stems because they're totally delicious as well. thanks!!!
This is going to be delicious! I'm having a great day and this is helping! Off to the poissonnerie for mackerel! If you're ever in the Gaspé peninsula, mackerel is real easy to catch: right off the pier. Bonne Journée!
I have a head of brocolli in the fridge, thinking what else I can do with it other than chop suey. This comes just in time!! And an unopened frozen packet of mackerel from the Korean store. 😃
Hello first I wish you all the best for the new year, above all health. I've been watching your RUclips for years. If I can make a wish, there would be a recipe with young ginger. There is a natural red color from Thailand, it looks like earth I forgot the name, you probably know it. Greetings from Germany, Michael
I'm curious as to why you said "if you're feeding kids you can add some white or black pepper", is pepper regarded as something that kids like in Thai culture?
I think what she meant was substitute the Thai chilis with white or black pepper instead. Young kids are just not ready to eat something too spicy, so the milder taste of pepper works better for them.
Question- what would you recommend for a good vegan/vegetarian substitute for the salted fish (I'm allergic to fish, but am definitely passing the cured fish technique along to friends and family! :)
I'm obviously not Pai, but probably firm tofu, pressed for an hour, then marinated with vegan tamari (gluten free soy sauce). Firm, marinated tofu will actually flake somewhat similar to fish, once fried and broken up. Or also any big, savory mushroom (lions mane, trumpet, oyster, etc.) would work well.
So I think Josh's suggestion for marinating tofu is probably what I would start with, and if you can get a whole of pressed tofu there's no need to press it yourself. But what I would do is cut or crumble the tofu before marinating to make sure the tofu can have max surface area to absorb the salt, and also you'd need much less soy sauce than if you were to marinate the whole block. See my vegan laab video for the tofu I use for that.
Love broccoli. I'll have to try this recipe. Actually, about 75% of what I eat is veggies. Can I use Chinese salted fish (鹹魚) instead? I have plenty of this.

Yes it's all about the CHAR!
Fun fact: Kosher salt was originally used for "koshering" meat, which is just salting raw meats to draw out the blood to make them kosher for the Jewish diet. So coarse grain kosher salt that chefs are always using these days is perfect for this salted fish recipe, it's literally what it's made for.
Hy👋
It also doesnt have iodine which is non kosher
Interesting. Why is iodine not kosher?
@@juditcserny9612 The short answer is iodized salt uses an anti-clumping agent that is not kosher. Iodine itself is fine.
Thank you.
I never browned the broccoli in my wok, just cooked regular and a bit crunchy. That extra step in the beginning looks good. This whole recipe looks great. 👍
Wow, I love broccoli and was just thinking about it. Will have to try this. The salted mackerel reminds me of the Italian method of adding anchovies.
YES!
Great observation! But also, . . if I don't have anchovies on hand, I often substitute bottled fish sauce.
Thanks Pailin, this and your Wombok with garlic and fish sauce are my favourite Thai vegetable dishes now. You're a great RUclips chef, should be on TV
I use to hate stir fried veggies with salt cured fish, but when I had it with alcohol! It changed everything. The combination of funk and liquor works, like cheese and wine.
I'll have to give this broccoli and salted fish a try this coming weekend. I'm hooked on your Prik Nam Pla recipe, I put that stuff on everything now.
I just discovered your channel. I love it. I lived in Thailand for 3 years and learned some of the language. It's so great to hear the language again.
Collards green or Brussel sprout with anchovy is my kanaa pad pla khem substitute. So delicious.
OMG! This is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! I love mackerel though. Your 5-spice cauliflower is great too! Please keep the veggie recipes coming!
Broccoli boring? never! it's so good in so many ways! I love the tip to slice them in half for more surface contact.
Wow! It's 12:07 in the AM and all I can counter with is some canned Salmon...nice dish, my stomach is grumbling!
This recipe is a poem to simplicity and taste. Refined cuisine with everyday run if the mill ingredients. AMAZING THAILAND!
I'm so anxious to try this recipe if for no other reason, but to allow me to experience my own FIST OF FLAVOR! Love your videos. Thanks for sharing these great recipes.
The cutest Thai
I just did a cabbage version with a 2 day salted mackerel. Great side dish! Thanks Pai
Pai's five spice cauliflower recipe has been my go-to cauliflower prep for years and I've done that with broccoli as well. I'll have to give this a try at some point but it'll definitely be hard to beat the five spice and crispy garlic :)
คิดถึงๆๆๆหายไปนานเลย
Had no idea salted fish only takes a few hours. Definitely giving it a try!
Your universal stir fry sauce and cutting broccoli with flat surface makes broccoli taste good. So much better than boiled.
This makes me think of my favorite way to cool broccoli which is with anchovies, garlic, capers, and just a little squeeze of lemon for brightness.
I like the tip of cutting the broccoli for better surface cooking.
wow. what a pickle to be you, walking around town, bringing spring wherever you go❤
Fantastic recipe! So easy to make, none of the ingredients are hard to come by and the flavors are great. I used salmon, broccoli (with the smooth side trick!) and some Thai 🌶. Wonderful and great weekend meal.
We aren’t even broccoli people in this house and there was none left.
Ohhh just in time!
I’ve got a couple of unused broccoli in the fridge 🥦
Thanks Pai!!!
I needed more veggie recipes and this looks so perfect! Thanks so much!❤️
Thank you, Pai.
I normally follow the steps of recipes, this will be my first recipe and finding my favor. Thanks for the recipe

This recipe sounds delicious! Broccoli is one of my favourite vegetables, and I can imagine how the salted fish enhances the flavour.
So sad you would use a ignorant name on a food blog.

Mikey Chen should try this recipe, he hates broccoli. This looks so yummy, I will definately give it a try.
Love your videos! I love smoking mackerel so I’m thinking maybe smoking it may make the flavor pop even more?
Great recipe, gonna try it. The girls love broccoli so this will work.
Thank you!!
Nice dish. Mackerel is so underrated. Heart healthy and inexpensive.
AGREED!

I feel like everyone has a head of broccoli in the fridge that is waiting for a better idea ;)
Very healthy and looks delicious recipe
The dish looks tasty !
I don't know if "Do yourself a flavour" was a slip of the tongue or not but either way it's genius 🤣
I can’t wait to try this ! Thank you so much 😋
I’ve tried broccoli different ways but, never satisfied. I think this may be my choice going forward. Will try it soon and, see how it goes.
Hi Pai and Adam,
I bet Adam had some of this dish this time.
Happy new year to you all.
Hi Tavit - and lol - yes indeed! :) Hope you're well!
Love broccoli 🥦 this recipe look so good, 👍
Hello! I love to watch you cook.
Broccoli coated in mortar and pestled garlic ,Thai chillies,olive oil and canned tuna flakes then roasted in the oven is hard to beat.
Excellent and delicious recipes as always 👍👍👍👍😋😋😋😋🥰
You forget to mentioned the Salty Fish (Fish Sauce) Smell while frying fish. That may cause some problems with neighbor in apartments. :P

So pretty.
サバ🐟 ブロッコリー🥦大好き 👍レシピ
日本のしめサバのお寿司🍣も美味しいですよ😋
Mackerel sushi is my favourite! :)

This with bamboo shoot . Sooo good
Nice
Do yourself a big flavour I love it
Deliciousness 😋

Miso Paste would be good. 👍👍👍

@@PailinsKitchen Okay Awesome! I usually use Mushroom Soy Sauce for that Umami taste in stirfries so I might give both a try!
Spanish Mackerel is one of my favorites. Very oily type of fish. Can't ever find it in store though.
Yum Yum , excellent idea ! I will try with smoked salmon ... Thank you Pailin ... Enjoy ans Happy New Year !
Looks so good!
Love broccoli. I'll have to try this recipe. Actually, about 75% of what I eat is veggies. Can I use Chinese salted fish (鹹魚) instead? I have plenty of this.
Hi Adam here - and probably and she mentions substitutions in the written recipe here hot-thai-kitchen.com/broccoli-salted-fish/ Cheers!
Awesome dish! Thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year 2022 ka.🙏🙏🙏💪💰💸💰🎊🎉🎊
Super
Wondering if you could use water packed sardines in this dish and get a somewhat similar result.
Do you have a video on how to make Kanom Tha-Go or Saku Sai? I’d love to make more small bite desserts and snacks for my coworkers at work :D
Hi Ayana and Adam here :) ... and she doesn't, so have added these the the "request" list :) Thanks and cheers!
WARNING! your neighbor may call 911 when you cook salt cured fish stir-fried recipe if they smell your cooking . LOL just kidding.
You make cooking easy and delicious. Btw, you’re beautiful!😍
Cool
Never tried broccoli stir fry with fish. I wonder how it tastes like.
Wowww
