You forget the most important thing. Jamie is British. They invented the table manners so that their guests were so caught up in following these rules, that no one really tasted how horrible the food tasted they were eating. 😉
Fuckin FINALLY! I've been WAITING for I to upload this!!!
Now I need a jammy olive oil shirt
May I know the song at the end of your vid please?
😢🎉2:02 @@captain_loeffel😢😢🎉😢 2:02 😢 2:02 2:02 2:02 😮
This isn't "making it healthy". It's making it wrong and disgusting. I'd rather starve than eat that.
I rather eat dogsht and rotten fruits than his dishes that is called Asian dishes
If you don't eat it no calories, problem solved!
The worse thing is that all the original ingredients were ok. If you used the greens to toss a quick salad, had the tofu with some shoyu on the side and gave me a sunny side up egg, I'd be very happy.
Eating less is healthy.. Maybe he's aiming for that effect? 😂
@@cqng341they already have British food for that.
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.
And you can also buy vegan fish sauce... assuming that you live in a place that has a large Asian supermarket like T&T or 99 Ranch. Jamie lives in the UK so I can forgive him for that oversight... but just that one.
@@kevwwong I can't. Not when mail-order exists, not to mention Amazon.
Yeah. The original recipe form Pad Thai is really close to vegan by itself. Big Shrimp or chicken is a fairly modern addition. When I was young, tofu is the only protein in the dish. Egg is optional (some cheap version omit it) and others non-vegan elements which are fish sauce and dried baby shrimp can be substituted with other umami-sh element fairly easily. Dried shitake as you suggest is probably a good choice.
That’s the problem with these celebrity chefs is that they take very simple dishes and add in a million other ingredients and then label it as a dish that it isn’t
@@stevenw.miguel "That’s the problem with these celebrity chefs is that they take very simple dishes and add in a million other ingredients and then label it as a dish that it isn’t"
It's especially an issue when they've got a camera on them. There is a real need to chef it up... and I'm being generous with that term when it comes to Jamie.
But that wasn't even Jamie's first problem. His first problem was that he doesn't know how to make an Asian-inspired dish, nevermind an authentic one. And thus we get what we see here.
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
call it cooking with jackass and invite johnny knoxville
The only way you know your cooking is good is if you devour the whole dish.
When I make curry rice for myself using Japanese curry, I literally will clean the plate up lol.
I can still hear the "MmmmMmm...." from jack in the back of my mind
@@jamescheddar4896
Johnny’s been through enough. Don’t kill him. 😂😂😂
he says its evolution....
To think that there would be a Jamie Oliver recipe where we would be begging for chili jam and olive oil.
LOL
It's true, olive oil would unironically improve this toward the end because then he wouldn't have to douse the food in fucking water.
@@Merlewhitefirewhy does he use oil in everything, except when he’s “frying”?
🤣
@@aalvarez2914 Ikr? It's probably all down to his inconsistent ideas about what's "healthy". Like let's use a fuckton of sesame oil, then how can we make this healthier? Oh, I know, cut down the fats by not using oil to fry the shallots! When he could've literally just not used that sesame oil where it didn't belong.
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
Lol
The brits are spice dealers... they don't fry on their own supply
Local supermarket that pays him aka Sainsbury’s
Also worth noting that his degree is in home economics, he learned chef skills on the job. Nothing wrong with this, of course, but his focus is on "how do I make this economical for a family" instead of "how do I make this historically and culturally accurate". He'd get a lot less flak online if he'd just introduce videos saying "let's make a stir fry that's borrows flavours from another dish" instead of insisting that this is his version of a given dish.
@@cmlemmus494 you're right, while he has undoubtedly helped a lot of people with minimal cooking skill to improve, positioning himself as a chef while also trying to show off easy and affordable recipes creates a lot of the criticism he faces. He would argue that if he called the videos "quick and easy stir fry/curry/salad/whatever" he wouldn't get half as many views, but then he's got to be able to deal with the backlash from people who go in expecting authentic.
Then there's the fact that he often misses the mark when it comes to being economical. Using chicken breasts instead of legs in his curries when anyone who actually has to watch their spending knows how much more expensive breasts are. Or his abomination of a vegetarian lasagna that is supposed to be easy to make but has 56 different ingredients, hugely impractical for a home cook, on top of being nothing like a lasagna
The only reason why he's bringing up "dry frying" is because he has a series of non-stick cookware with Tefal.
and the nonstick for those last until the 2nd time you wash them and then they make things stick to them like sand to water in the Sahara desert
The T-fal pans are his? I bought 3 off Amazon. 😂😂😂 The non stick is amazing so far.
Edit: never mind. I have t-fal brand, but not the jammy olive oil specific set.
@@brandonhowell5096 no wonder the pans in this video look straight out of the factory
@AlastorsShadowDemon I don't think there is an actual difference between the ones with his face on the packaging and the normal tefal catalogue apart from the very slippery handle which his demographic will find hard to hold.
I remember there's a Thai celebrity chef review of Jamie Egg Fried Rice and the only one compliment was "nice tossing skill" 😂
For Jamie Oliver, "healthy" is a buzzword that means "making the food worse"
well if that is the food he serves people for sure will eat less. reducing the calories intake
@@alexanderzack3720 You joke about that but that actually has a kernel of truth in it. Jamie Oliver’s shtick falls right in line with diet culture/bordering on eating disorder culture where they believe “healthy” food must make you miserable to qualify as such. It’s the same reason why some gym bros refuse to season their food, in order to remove the association of pleasure with food, to see it only as fuel, and to make their minds stop craving it so they can eat less.
Yeah unfortunately he lost his touch long ago. Veggies are good and you are supposed to eat a lot of them (roughly half of all the food you consume) but nobody says you have to eat them at the same time and mix everything. Why not eat your salad first and a good authentic pad thai afterwards? Why mix everything into one pile of ingredients that no longer deserves the name "dish"?
"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."
Lol
You know he'd somehow mess up the beer first too
@@Skotzenn "Hold my beer."
"Wha...Jamie, this is kombucha."
That surprises me exactly zero percent.
* Light Beer
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.
Thai Water Fall Salad OMG LOL
Only thing closer to Thai waterfall salad is Jamie olive oil put some cold green things in it. And even then the waterfall salad only needs herbs that complement the sourness of waterfall (like Thai mint, culantro, sometimes cilantro). All these Jamie olive oil putting are bitter, especially dry frying does fork all
As a English person don’t blame us for Jamie. A lot of our cooks I know not to do this. Even I as a non cook know you don’t do this. I think what halo does is try give people things they can do on a budget but as I’ve said before he’s doing it the wrong way
@@ChefBrianTsaoreminds me of the Thai chef criticism of Gordon Ramsay's pad Thai
waterfall salad? nam tok? you guys call that a salad? the main part of it is meat isnt it?
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. 😢😢😢😢
Actually, not any kind of rice noodles will do. For best results, it has to be Sen Chan (the Pad Thai rice noodles) which is specifically used for cooking Pad Thai.
@@Thunyapatz You’re right!. Sen chan is an ingredient that must be listed in Padthai.
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 :)
🙏
Pad Thai is healthy. If you need more veggies in your diet have a salad
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.
You mentioning disintegrated noodles brought me back to the raccoon trying to wash its cotton candy and it dissolving in the water X'D :')
Here in Indonesia, the instruction is to cook it in boiling water for 3 minutes. Simple.
60 minutes is crazy 😂 15 minutes is alrdy enough to turn it into a soggy mess
@@minami_uuu 100%, but curiosity took over :P At first i thought they wrote munites instead of seconds, but 60 seconds also didn't make sense. So i just went for it and tried what would happen :D
@@timokampwerth1996 i respect you for trying LOL
Jamie oliver is like sid from toy story, sid like to experiment with toy like mad scientist
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.
I think he’s doing the whole, “If I ignore it, maybe it will go away” strategy.
I just think he doesn't give a shit. Dude's rich and successful as fuck so as much as we hate all these videos what would he have to gain
I think he's much too lazy to be responding. These videos are all clearly "produced" with minimal influence from Oliver. His team buys some shit for him, he keeps reaching for his jars in shelves, throws something together and that's that. I'd be surprised if he even watches the final edits.
At least Gordon engages with the viewer.
@@PandyBong Some of these recipes he obviously does like and has made before, even if they're very nontraditional, but yeah in general I suspect the videos are primarily for whatever the advertiser is and not to teach others how to cook. It's the only way to really explain the methods or way he's using a particular product that doesn't really make sense otherwise. One of the saddest things in these videos is when he messes up and does something to recover but doesn't explain what he did or why he did it or how for anyone following along to avoid messing up also (pan being too hot or cold, cooking something too early, noodles/rice too dry/wet, etc) so they aren't even that useful as recipes for others.
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.
"THIS IS MADNESS."
OK, now I have One Step Beyond stuck in my head.
@@kevwwonggood song to have stuck in head my dude
@@Oborochan20 LOL too true. It's not one of my favourites but it's still a great song.
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.
งงเหมือนกันค่ะ 😂
That is the Jamie Oliver experience, you are now qualified to seek out a therapist.
We need to see you guys react to Jamie Olive oil's lasagna, that will flip Frenchie off 100%
Oh boy…
i second to this lol, i wanna see frenchie's reaction LMFAOOOO
I actually showed that video to an Italian friend of mine. He's a super cheerful person and that was the first time in my life I've actually seen him bummed out.
@@ChefBrianTsao oh you two are going to have a field trip with that one pan lasagna
Another suggestion would be to react to Jamie Oliver's steak video, which flipped Guga off
just layers of pasta and olive oil that
Bro, you have no idea how much i waited for you to react to this.....this monstrosity of a dish 😂😂😂
😄
@@ChefBrianTsaoroasting Jamie is fun activity to do in front of his family to messing up the Asian cuisine
@@i.t21b_alphonso_luis_vallejo It's fun to watch but also sad how much these recipes get messed up. I think these celebrity chefs wouldn't be given near the criticism they are given if instead they pointed out what they're doing isn't traditional, what is traditional, and why they're not doing it in the traditional way. Instead it just looks like they're mucking about.
@@jcohasset23yeah remember the ramen incident of Jamie using soba noodles instead of traditional ramen noodles it sets up a uproar inside Japan like they are crying too because he said ramen not soba
@@i.t21b_alphonso_luis_vallejo The big mistake he made there was not saying he was using soba noodles instead of ramen noodles because soba noodles are gluten-free and overall a little healthier. The correct way of course would have been using ramen noodles but mentioning alternatives if wanting to make it gluten-free. In these videos he regularly makes the mistake of substituting but not explaining why he's doing so thus his recipes come across butchering the traditional dish.
Best example of really good contrast of hot and cold is hot apple pie with ice cream.
"I'm Thai and I showed this to my mother. She just said, 'What the hell is he doing?'🤣🤣🤣
"Everything wrong, he's doing everything wrong."
His producer did release a statement stating he has a team of experts making sure all of his recipes are culturally appropriate.
But the twist is they aren't telling us WHICH culture 😜
culturally appropriate to WAGs of Chelsea is it?
Which culture?
What culture are his producers looking good at? The English culture!? “Hey guys! Can I bastardize this tofu without upsetting anyone?” “Oh sure Jamie! Us English won’t mind.”
More like a bunch of noob expert for me, probably all English people without doing any research on Thai culture.
One of the ten commandments of asian cookery, never ever pound silken tofu.
Why turn a creative, fun and organic art form, into a strict, conservative religious doctrine?
You do recognise how arbitrary this all is? You guys need to start asking yourself “says who?” Let’s not be mindless algorithms fiercely defending the status quo simply because it’s safe and predictable. Try stuff, think outside the box. Pad Thai isn’t some platonic form that has ontological status in the universe lol
@@FigmentHF please tell me you're kidding. Just because things are art and art is arbitrary doesn't mean there aren't some rules to the techniques. when you layer paints you lay the thickest layer first and thinner as you go up. When you use silken tofu, you slice it into cubes, not crumble it like feta cheese. just cause vegetable, canola, sesame and olive oil are all oils can they all do the same thing? cook at the same temperatures? fry or taste the same? you shouldn't be afraid to go out of the box, and something like crumbling tofu is minor in the grand scheme of things. but things were done for a reason for the longest time, and that's what people call authentic. sell me whatever snake oil you have, i'm not frying it.
Sometimes, rules are there for good reasons.
In art, you gotta learn the rules first, so you can learn when to break them later to create something greater.
@@FigmentHF
I'd say experiment only when you master the original.
And even then, some rules are there for a reason.
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.
it's european and american thing.
just egoism, narcissism and disdain towards non-europeans.
LAMB CURRAY, YA GIVE IT TA ME HOT SSSSSSSsssss
Jamie Oliver listens to criticisms, understands them, and then, in defiance of those who dared to question him, makes it *worse*.
Remember how Jamie reacted to criticism from Spain when he decided to add chorizo to his paella recipe.
"You guys have to try paella with chorizo, it's better like that", bro did not just say that to a whole country that makes that dish on the regular and knows that chorizo on paella is like three times worse than using a metal spoon on a non stick pan
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
Now there's a cook off we need
This by far the most ruined Asian dish ever by Jamie Olive oil!! Even a leg down from chair wasn't enough😂😂😂😂!
Jamie make my ancestors cry and I'm not even Asian.
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......
Jam-my Olive-oil
I've never made phad thai in my life and I'm certain my first attempt would be a vast improvement over that bowl.
"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" 😂
Him dry-frying an egg is just him marketing how good his pan is at not sticking.
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!
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’ve made sauces w tofu before, but that’s not how you do it. Egh… Jam-E Olive Oil strikes again lol
“No way jose” actually made me mad (because I’m Mexican) to hear come out of Jamie Oliver’s mouth.
Yeah, because "Jose" is an exclusive mexican name and spanish is exclusive to Mexico, right? 🤣🤣🤣 That expression is old af and used by everyone all over the place, stop gatekeeping shit under the crap pretense that it's cultural appropriation.
@@omulamfibie To be fair, Jamie Oliver is cultural appropriation in human form. I'm offended that I share a species with him, and I can cook three dishes at best.
@@omulamfibie calm down champ, we can all see your feelings
@@omulamfibie Jamie Oliver has already earned the hatred of Spain for his awful paella.
Jamie Olive, which culture has he not insulted at this point?
That face of chef Paul when he heard this joke😂😂💀💀: 05:58
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.
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
That 'Who hurt you?' by Frenchy killed me 😂
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.
What’s wrong with Jackson Pollock?
@@jamespetitious1311 sure why not beefthrifle, ?
whats wrong with luttuce, noodles, egg, tamarind or any other ingredient? it all tastes good right?
whats wrong with paint no matter what color? all nice colors right?
well in itself nothing.. but you can sure make a mess of anything and call it ''something.''
@@RedSampler Okay, but I do like Jackson Pollock’s action painting. I think it’s one of the best ways to capture raw, in-the-moment emotion.
@@jamespetitious1311 you might like jamie olivers cooking (i mean millions do) you might even like this dish because the ingredients individually taste good..
but i would never ever dare to call it a real ''pad thai'' dish.
and just like you and i could make a ''jackson pollock'' we could make a ''jammie oliveoil'' and call it something. (we couldn,t sell it like they did/do though..)
and yes they all try from time to time like ramsey tried to sell us his undermelted underwhelming grilled cheese telling it is so good, while everyone sees that its not.
many famous actors and singers do this ''capture raw in the moment emotion'' painting doesn,t make them ARTists though (people just buy it because someone famous made it).
snoopdogg can cook with martha steward.. it doesn,t mean a thing other than a famous person partakes.(but at least they don,t call it something its not)
I mean, charlatans have to be charming if they want to be successful.
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
The lack of seasoning disturbs me a lot...
Just when you thought Rachel Ray couldn’t be topped in the world’s most criminal Pad Thai recipe
I am going to agree with Frenchy, " Who hurt Jamie?" His childhood must have been a nightmare.
The Metalocalypse guitar swear bleep is my favorite 😆
Dethklok writes a song about people being forced to eat this "dish". Go Forth and Pad DIE!
I heard Jamie Oliver is going to do a cameo in the next episode of the Acolyte in order to destroy the internet.
I heard that Jamie Oliver was one of the writers, which would explain why none of the characters have any depth and aren't real characters, and why their motivations flip on a dime constantly without any reason or logic and their actions and decisions make no sense.
The Acolyte is just another avenue for him to inflict psychological damage over time.
That sauce on the pestle and mortar though, it looks like I chucked into the mortar and Jamie was like, 'yup, that works'.
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 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?
Icrememberer him gencciding a bunch of male baby chick on the food network... and trying to change school 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 😜
He messed up all other parts
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
Oh i was waiting for the guys to react to this!!! 😂😂 thank you!!!
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.
Woah
The fact that the tofu is crushed in a pestle and motar is literally the final nail in the coffin
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.
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.
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.
he called the bok choi pak choi for the same reason people call beijing peking its a diffrent way of transcribing chinese called Wade-Giles while today PinYin is used.
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.
I dont think anyone considers pescatarian to be vegetarian, they’re literally two different words
@@colonelturmeric558 these guys seem to think vegetarians can use (normal) fish sauce. and a lot of ppl seem to think peacetarianism is a flavor of vegetarianism. 😑
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.
Pad Thai-me to throw it in the rubbish
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!
And to top it off, Jamie eats it with chopsticks. Pad Thai is not eaten with chopsticks.
I ate pad thai with chopsticks in Krung Thep because the stalls served them with chopsticks. Is a chinese inspired dish after all.
@@derwormThai dish. Not Chinese
@nukasnook1561 Thai noodle Chinese inspired. The name is literally Kuay Tiow Pad Thai in full. Kuay Tiow is my dialect (Teochew) for rice noodle.
@@derworm you are correct with the origin of Thai noodles, but the DISH Pad Thai was created in Thailand.
@@nukasnook1561 I don't think you're actually reading successfully, it's a Thai dish but it was CHINESE-INSPIRED in its creation.
7:14 The look of pure terror when the lime comes in, stop him mid sentence
Bro😂😂😂😂
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
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.
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.
Damn! You're a genius!
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!
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 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.
7:26 I LOVE THIS "Explain why!"
But then 7:36 that instant recognition that this "dish" is beyond help is epic ahahahah
This is luterally the best content on RUclips 😂
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 👍
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
Yet they use ocado and sainsburys et al as a bellwether for ‘budget’.. sorted food is a middle class channel which is detached from reality, not to mention they are left wing londoners who don’t understand their own country
It makes me wonder where Jamie Oliver gets all these bizarre ideas for Asian food.
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 love you guys! It's funny enough watching Nigel but watching you two react is a different hilarity. Both awesome. Both extremely funny. Also, thank you for helping a home cook learn some things about cooking while laughing! :D
I love watching Jamie Oliver. Really helps with my dieting.
man you really should print some BINGO cards for those reactions :D
There's a reason street stalls in Thailand make Pad Thai out of simple ingredients, because you won't need to change anything.
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).
I believe fry rice noodles still need a bit of oil unless the chef has good techniques and good skills to do it. If not it will burn very fast. Cooking shallots with out oil 🤔
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 😄
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.
isn't "dry fry" just called uh, toasting? like when you toast some spices lol
Yes, only spices, like dry chili, etc (not green herb) to enhance the fragrance of the spices. Never dry fry veg or noodles. if he wants to be healthy, make noodle soup instead of fry noodles.
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...
Credit is where credit is due:
No olive oil.
No jam.
…cold comfort, but there you go.
reacting to a spoof react is like 3 steps down the human centipede
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*
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...😵💫
On the Sea they have a saying, the beauty of their women and the taste of their food made English the best sailors in the world.
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.
15:31 why does this have “what do we say to the god of death?” vibes, lol
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).
Every time I use sesame oil I try to use very little... and it always tastes like I put in a lot
