I recently found your channel. I'm married with a Thai girl and I cooked 2 recipes this week for her because she was working and I was free. You explain very good the steps and I like to make thai dishes. Wonderful. And my wife liked my cooking. Hurrah
Pai, I love that you don't leave out the mishaps in your videos. Stuff happens and sometimes they can throw a person off but seeing how you come back from it is also helpful! I have your first book and pre-ordered Sabai which I received the same day it was released. ❤ I LOVE that you have Thai writing in it for my mom to read. She helps me pronounce the words correctly 😄.
This is FANTASTIC! Thank you for walking a mile in my shoes. 👏 I’ve been enjoying your videos for some time now and I’m starting to stock up on ingredients needed to try cooking some of your recipes. I am a confident cook, but only within my own experience, which is not Asian. With this video I feel I can now take the first step and try one of your recipes . 🎉 You made it okay to use what I can find and it will be okay. Thank you so much!! (p.s. I’m 70 years old. Never too late to learn!)
I’m rewatching this because I am starting to stock my pantry and find your no nonsense approach so refreshing! My first attempt at cooking a Thai dish will definitely be one of your recipes! 😊
Thanks for introducing your book and for taking the perspective of a complete novice to understand how they can follow along to cook your delicious recipes. I love it :)
After retirement, I wanted to learn Thai and Indian cooking. You were my best go-to in learning, because you always (just as in your new book) think about the beginner, from cooking tools to techniques to ingredients, to shopping. You're a good teacher! Thank you. Ps I freeze up hard to find ingredients like you, and I make up curries and freeze them in one meal packets, etc. It's working!
I love the new book that I purchased. I hope to one day meet you and get it autographed. I have a wok, but sometimes I wonder, you make it look so easy, and sometimes it is. Thank you for taking the time to let us know it's alright to make improvisions.
I would say you hit the newbie process dead-on!! I cook from a lot of different cultures and agree that when diving into a new experience, recipes can be intimidating because of the large number of unusual or hard to source ingredients. (I went to 4 asian stores last week and I finally found pandan leaves! but still no makrut lime). Specialized cooking gear has also stalled me... I still don't own a wok.... small kitchen problems :) So I love that you demo-ed this with a non-stick skillet.. As always, your video hit the sweet spot of wholesome, entertaining, and helpful
That looks really good! Very informative video. I would never have picked up on how you ate that but for your last video on How to eat Thai food CORRECTLY. 😊
I felt so lost using a Korean cook book and a few other cook books I’ve purchased. The fact that Palin did this is just the best, love that she thought of doing this with each of us in mind with a lovely advice at the end
Thank you so much for this - you're so considerate to your Western viewers in videos like this and ingredient substitution suggestions. I'd think it would be mainly Westerners who haven't grown up around Asian food who'd be most interested in this, & you do a great job in explaining everything. I live in a small town in Florida about an hour away from the closest Asian market - & I don't even have a car, so I've been ordering ingredients for the first time, & I'm so excited when they arrive ! I especially like fresh tangy & somewhat sour dishes, but I've found that fruit juices don't always hold up well to cooking, so discovering things like galangal & tamarind - which I LOVE & had never heard of before - has been so interesting. I just started cooking some months ago, & I went straight to Asian food which has always been my favorite for restaurant dining. I live with my mother, who's nearly 90 & has a low tolerance to hot spices (if you can even imagine that 🤔), so learning how to make this food at home and keep it mild for her allows her to have it while bringing out the flavors she likes as well. I'm also diabetic, which makes restaurant food problematic, so knowing the ingredients used in Thai food allows me to enjoy it again & work around the excess sugars...
Pailin, greetings from Kelowna and thank you! This is exactly how to encourage people like me, who enjoy Thai food and home cooking from scratch, but remain a little intimidated to combine them. I have just ordered your book, Sabai and I look forward to starting with this dish. That should give me the confidence to take on more challenging dishes. I do agree with the other commenter who suggested having a guest on your RUclips channel, a non-Thai friend who learns to cook Thai dishes with you as a mentor.
Great idea to introduce your audience to your cooking and your mind like this. Jamie Oliver actually taught me how to cook through youtube. That’s mostly Italian and British however. I will be cooking this is one of the coming weeks!
The gas situation was interesting because I always look at my flame cuz my stove is very finicky. Just kind of interesting to see differences between how different people cook on different cooktops.
I received Sabai 3 days ago and I'm a fan!! Haven't had the time to try any recipe yet (there are so many to choose from) so I'm excited!! I already have a bit of knowledge about thai food but I really wanted to dig deeper and know more recipes and your book is really beginner friendly too and everything is so well put and thought out! We can feel the passion to pass down your knowledge about thai cuisine, khop khun mak krap!
Hi, first I just want to let you know I love your recipes. Very easy to follow and quite tasty. I am just wondering if you can do a video about choosing different types of pork and beef and it’s substitution. I go to the Asian market and find myself lost in the meat department bc there are so many different types. Thanks!
Hi Lisa, Adam here - and great question! I've added it to our "request list", but also if you want to ask her this one directly, check out all the options to get hold of her at hot-thai-kitchen.com/contact . Cheers!
I have made (and loved) your classic Thai green curry many times, and recently the Masseman curry. I can see why it is the most popular Thai dish! Now, I'm going to make my own Masseman curry from scratch! Thanks for lighting a fire under me!!!
Thank you for giving this "novice" perspective. Very practical for people trying ethnic cooking they're not familiar with. Too bad English cucumber can not replace a Chinese cucumber (more like Persian) in fermented veges (泡菜). When I used it it came out mushy and disappeared in the brine!!
Another simple recipe I’m going to have to try! I just found your cookbook on Amazon. I have my birthday coming up, guess I’d better start dropping some hints! Keep smiling!😊
This is a great idea and 3 minutes in it already pays off with a note to attach in the book thanks to the perspective of a newbie. This is a valuable test method not just for cooking and recipes but also for my job in IT, to make documentation and systems as user friendly as possible
I’m glad you said “until the smallest bits of garlic turn golden” because I tend to wait for the bigger ones to change color. Lol! Great video. Subscribed!
I just got back from Thailand a couple weeks ago so I’m still excited for Thai food. I use your recipes since the Thai restaurant around here is three to four times the price of there.. Your recipe for pad graprow is better than a couple I had there! Though my cooking or recipe at least doesn’t beat mark weins pad graprow or this one from Ruam Sab market in bkk. I’m not sure how they make theirs but it’s next level!
Gas can dwindling mid-stirfry on my Iwatani burner, I feel that pain! (I've also noticed if I store the cans in the garage in winter, where it is quite cold, they run pretty weak). A video with tips, tricks, and potential pitfalls on using butane burners for wok cooking might be nice!
Hi! She just got it at a local T&T - but many "Asian" grocers will have it. You might be able to find it online, but they come and go. Otherwise most of the stuff she uses is here hot-thai-kitchen.com/shop-for-ingredients-and-tools/ Cheers! Adam
I have been cooking Thai food for years, but this video was really great for cooks new to Thai cuisine!! Strangely enoughhave never made Thai sweet and sour 🤔😊
This video has made me very curious about Canadian supermarkets as a Dutch person. What could they possibly have in the Dutch section I saw marked on the sign...
As a novice the most difficulty I face, after researching info for the most uncommon ingredients to me, is when things don't happen as they should. When you follow the exact steps but you end up with no sauce, or something sticks for no reason, or you end up having a little more or little less volume so the seasoning is off and you don't know how to fix it. I am getting better little by little at those things though. I just bought my first nonstick "wok". I wish I had gas, space and the skills to have a real steel wok but It will have to do. I just want to stop chasing food out of my pan, really
Was very excited to find Sabai in my mailbox yesterday after pre-ordering it months ago! Btw, as a Dutchie, I'm very curious about what food there is in the Dutch aisle in your supermarket😃 a whole aisle with stroopwafels?
I really enjoy your recipes and watching you cook. I have learned a lot watching your shows. Thank you so much! I am concerned about the toxicity of non-stick cookware, particularly when used on high heat. Are you?
Hi Adam here! If you want to ask her directly rather than put it out to the community (see her note above on comments) you can check out options to get hold of her here hot-thai-kitchen.com/contact Cheers!
I'd say that the more unfamiliar is that you must cook the highest heat: there is no time when you reduce the heat, which is not customary in Western cooking.
where the heck did you find huy fong sriracha???? where i live we've been out for a year or more in grocery stores 😭 that being said! im very allergic to cashews. what would be a good nut substitute? (not pistachios. they're related and i am also allergic)
Hi Adam here - and good question! If you want to ask her that one directly though rather that put it out to the community (as she doesn't see the comments on here once the post is more than a week old as per her note above), you can check out all the options to get hold of her at hot-thai-kitchen.com/contact . Cheers!
Congratulations on your new cookBook SABAI. Just received it today, Very colourful and I hope to get some ideas on your fabulous dishes. BTW, I pre-ordered the book and was looking for the Pre-order Bonuses which was mentioned in the order. Pre-ordering really helps support small-time authors like me. So as a thank you, if you pre-order: You’ll get a few recipes emailed to you early, regardless of when or where you ordered the book. You’ll be invited to a live cook-along with me! I’ll demo a few recipes from the book. Date TBD but it will be after the book’s release (Mar 14)
So it looks like you missed instructions for how to claim those bonuses, and the instructions were right under that text you copied. It's not too late, please send us a message and I'll get you sorted. Find the contact info here: hot-thai-kitchen.com/contact-2/
Dear Pai, you're a star. Novice or not, all your explainings are so detailed. Good result guaranteed. Just did your "Cucumber Challenge! Spicy Chicken & Cucumber Stir-Fry" today. Stunning. So delicious. Very Mmmmh!
Hi Pai and Adam, This video resonates the time I lived in UK. Back then I couldn't find many of the genuine ingredients you can abroad nowadays. I did have to substitute many ingredients but I don't really consider my cooking as Thai just edible will suffice. Hope you can convert those who hate pineapple in cooking. Adam, Did you enjoy the dish? How it compares to Chinese takeaway dish?
Hello Pailin, Instead of using your gas hob why not try a portable induction hob? it's much faster, and it's increasingly popular. Anyway, thanks for sharing !
The branding confusion happened to me recently when I decided to try out the Shrimp salad with lemongrass and mint from Sabai. I went to look for Thai chilli paste and pretty sure got the wrong one (chilli paste Maengdana) because the smell totally ruined the finished dish. Does any know any good brand Thai chilli paste? Thx
I have the Cock one. But it's the only one I have available though so I can't tell you if it's good either. It's called Prik Pao and the ingredients list has all the ingredients that Nam Prik pao usually has so I guess it's good. I don't know where that brand exists or where it's from but the two brands of thai ingredients my local asian stores carry are Cock and Aroy-D, which is more talked about.
@@loati94 is correct! Funny -- I was sold a maengda-flavored chile paste myself a couple years ago (the guy at the local Thai market waggled his eyebrows and made a comment about the flavor being good for virility). I still haven't plucked up the courage to taste it, but his comment made me curious -- apparently the maengda is a local water beetle, and it's sometimes pounded into some nam phriks for its taste and aroma. Apparently it's not up everyone's alley... @thu ngo, you've run into a common and understandable issue -- you show up at the local market, on the hunt for some specific chile product, and you find an aisle packed with about fifty different condiments, all bearing the generic English translation of "chile paste." Unfortunately, often the English translations on packages are just not very helpful -- there are just too many products out there made from fermented soybeans or chiles, and even though they all wind up being called "bean paste" or "chile paste", they are often wildly different. My best advice is, whenever possible, try to find the product you're looking for by relying on its name in its country of origin's language. As @Loati said, what Pai refers to as "Thai chile paste" (other English-language authors sometimes call it "chile jam") is called "nam prik pao" in Thai. It's sweet, a little spicy, and somewhat oily. The best-known brands are Cock, Aroy-D, Pantainorasingh, and Maepranom. I recommend, next time you go to the market, bring your phone and quickly Google the brand name + the product name (eg "Pantainorasingh nam prik pao"). You'll usually find pictures of the packaging, which will make it much simpler to find what you're looking for on the shelves.
Oh wow you found a very hard-to-find obscure chili paste!! But yes that is a wrong one and I'm not sure you want to know what maengdana paste actually is, lol. The most common brand I see is Pantai and I also see Mae Ploy, Mae Pranom and even Thai Kitchen has one that's good.
I recently found your channel. I'm married with a Thai girl and I cooked 2 recipes this week for her because she was working and I was free. You explain very good the steps and I like to make thai dishes. Wonderful. And my wife liked my cooking. Hurrah

I love seeing Pai use the fork and spoon technique she taught us in an earlier video. I am craving that stir fried cucumber now.
@@AndyL940 Or maybe you need to appreciate the little things in life that give you joy no matter how small they are :)

I made this 3rd as I watched and your kitchen looks nice and tidy. My kitchen was a mess!
This looks so healthy and I am more apt to make this than Chinese style. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Pailin. Today I received your new book. What a beautiful book. Well done. I'm going to enjoy it.
That looks really good! Very informative video. I would never have picked up on how you ate that but for your last video on How to eat Thai food CORRECTLY. 😊
I love the new book- you taught me to cook Thai during the pandemic. We eat food in the genre 2 to 3 times a week now. thank you for everything!
So glad to hear!!
Excellent…can’t wait to try this! Thankyou Pailin!💕
Thanks for sharing this. I’m fortunate enough to live in an area with several Asian markets but it’s nice to see alternatives 😊
As your typical novice, bravo for your great care in making sure folks like me can access Sabai. I look forward to buying & using your book.

How about next time u make one of ur non thai friend cook one of ur recipes from ur cookbook while u guide them through it??
Yes!!!
Great idea!
I nominate @adamhunter .
Value of a recipe is the lack of guidance needed
Such a great idea!
This is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to help all is viewers!! 😊
Congratulations on your new book. I am sure it will be a big hit. You are amazing!
That looks absolutely delicious 😅Makes me crave even more.
I love that you included running out of gas.....that's my world....very relatable! 😀
Great idea to introduce your audience to your cooking and your mind like this. Jamie Oliver actually taught me how to cook through youtube. That’s mostly Italian and British however. I will be cooking this is one of the coming weeks!
Love it! Brilliant idea about the pineapple btw - as soon as you said it it seemed obvious but I definitely hadn't thought of it up to that point! 👍
The gas situation was interesting because I always look at my flame cuz my stove is very finicky. Just kind of interesting to see differences between how different people cook on different cooktops.

Thanks for this no-deep fry version. Deep frying, although it tastes better, always puts me off due to the hassle and mess. Hope to give this a go!
I loved this. You made it look so approachable.
Thank you for giving this "novice" perspective. Very practical for people trying ethnic cooking they're not familiar with. Too bad English cucumber can not replace a Chinese cucumber (more like Persian) in fermented veges (泡菜). When I used it it came out mushy and disappeared in the brine!!
This is really good to know! English cukes are more watery, so yes it makes sense!
Nice and maybe make a Vol2 of this with a friend of yours that is fully noob in thai-cooking. This should be interesting AND fun to watch I guess. 😁😊

This video has made me very curious about Canadian supermarkets as a Dutch person. What could they possibly have in the Dutch section I saw marked on the sign...
I usually airfry my cashews until they're nicely browned. This gives them a very nice maillard reaction to add flavour to the dish.
As a novice the most difficulty I face, after researching info for the most uncommon ingredients to me, is when things don't happen as they should. When you follow the exact steps but you end up with no sauce, or something sticks for no reason, or you end up having a little more or little less volume so the seasoning is off and you don't know how to fix it.

There's a brand of fish sauce, called Oyster!!
The branding confusion happened to me recently when I decided to try out the Shrimp salad with lemongrass and mint from Sabai.
I went to look for Thai chilli paste and pretty sure got the wrong one (chilli paste Maengdana) because the smell totally ruined the finished dish.
Does any know any good brand Thai chilli paste? Thx
I have the Cock one. But it's the only one I have available though so I can't tell you if it's good either. It's called Prik Pao and the ingredients list has all the ingredients that Nam Prik pao usually has so I guess it's good. I don't know where that brand exists or where it's from but the two brands of thai ingredients my local asian stores carry are Cock and Aroy-D, which is more talked about.
@@loati94 is correct! Funny -- I was sold a maengda-flavored chile paste myself a couple years ago (the guy at the local Thai market waggled his eyebrows and made a comment about the flavor being good for virility). I still haven't plucked up the courage to taste it, but his comment made me curious -- apparently the maengda is a local water beetle, and it's sometimes pounded into some nam phriks for its taste and aroma. Apparently it's not up everyone's alley...
@thu ngo, you've run into a common and understandable issue -- you show up at the local market, on the hunt for some specific chile product, and you find an aisle packed with about fifty different condiments, all bearing the generic English translation of "chile paste." Unfortunately, often the English translations on packages are just not very helpful -- there are just too many products out there made from fermented soybeans or chiles, and even though they all wind up being called "bean paste" or "chile paste", they are often wildly different.
My best advice is, whenever possible, try to find the product you're looking for by relying on its name in its country of origin's language. As @Loati said, what Pai refers to as "Thai chile paste" (other English-language authors sometimes call it "chile jam") is called "nam prik pao" in Thai. It's sweet, a little spicy, and somewhat oily. The best-known brands are Cock, Aroy-D, Pantainorasingh, and Maepranom. I recommend, next time you go to the market, bring your phone and quickly Google the brand name + the product name (eg "Pantainorasingh nam prik pao"). You'll usually find pictures of the packaging, which will make it much simpler to find what you're looking for on the shelves.
@@loati94 this’s very helpful thank you so much!!!
Oh wow you found a very hard-to-find obscure chili paste!! But yes that is a wrong one and I'm not sure you want to know what maengdana paste actually is, lol. The most common brand I see is Pantai and I also see Mae Ploy, Mae Pranom and even Thai Kitchen has one that's good.
I REALLY like this video.
I'm from North Western Ontario.... NO oriental stores! Just Big Box Stores.
