The look on that lady’s face when Nadiya put squid 🦑 in the wok 🤣
Haha, that was such a great look. I also prefer prawns over squid, but I'd probably prefer her level of sweetness in the dish because I find pad thai to be too sweet most of the time. I love how Nadiya takes their feedback, observes their preference, and doesn't take it personally or judge.
@@Lady-Lilith oh yes definitely prawns over any seafood! But I agree, the sweetness should only be enough to enhance the flavour and not cut down the savouriness
"being told how it is", is a blessing not a curse.
You have got very good sense of humour Nadiya, even I can’t cook when someone is watching me cook. We both got one thing in common, I don’t like my savoury dish to be too sweet.
Whoever reading this comment may you have a blessed life full of happiness
I read read
Amen and amen
Thank you
Modern Thai people have gotten used to adding spoonfuls of sugar and condiments to their noodles. Original Thai food wasn’t that sweet but full of many flavors/ fragrances. Your tamarind in the pad Thai is one of them. Hard to find authentic pad Thai even in Bangkok these days. Original recipe shouldn’t be too moist or mushy but more dry, should have telltale taste and fragrance of tamarind. Squid vs shrimp not much of an issue since pad Thai can be made with any meat of preference. But turmeric would make it more of a curry noodle dish. Have u tried khao soi? Thats a noodle dish with turmeric.
I'm gonna try Nadiya's version. I'm obsessed with her tin of soup tikka recipe.
I’m a local from the Northern part of Chiang Mai and I live in Bangkok for a couple years. I can frankly tell you that Thai people from the central part and central east part love sweetness from their dish! In Chiang Mai, our traditional dishes are less sweet.
YES!!!
Trying to outdo the locals at their own game was not a great idea, they probably felt insulted.
But I do agree that padthai, and other common staple dishes in Thailand, are often too sweet. In Thailand I routinely ask for no sugar in my food when eating out.
They don't look amused.
‘No Egg. NO Egg?! NO EGGGG!’ 🤣 *Cracked* me up 😉
same lol. When they both started saying it in unison!
I had the same reaction as Nadiya. These people add sugar to the food as if it's a cup of tea and it's not just on Pad Thai. Sugar on fried rice. Sugar on stir-fried roast pork. Sugar on noodle soup. Sugar on curry. However, I only see this happened in Bangkok or middle Thailand (as far as I went tho). But if you go north to Chiang Mai, Udon Thani or Khon Kaen the flavor profiles are wholly different and that's where the unique flavor comes.
Nadia is such a beautiful woman, so talented.
Love The confidence of the Thais! Also I don't see alot of people with masks which means this might have been recorded a while ago
I’m so curious what hers tastes like. I don’t like overly sweet pad Thai but I do think a little sugar is necessary to balance the sourness of the tamarind and the lime juice.
Lots of love to Thailand from England. Great country and people.
Great program
Love it !!!!
I live Bangkok and I rarely eat pad thai because it's nearly always too sweet. You can't even tell the cook not to add sugar, because they often cook pad thai with a prepared sauce that is already sweet. Pad gaprao is a much tastier dish.
Oh Nadiya
I'm a fan of u for long time Nadiya , always cook your recipe, Welcome to Thailand ♥️♥️🤩😍
Just had a Gordon Ramsey flashback. Kinda knew they wouldn't like it, felt so stressed for her when they started to add sugar 😂
Love thai food. So yummy..thanks for sharing.
They like it
I would love to try their pad Thai. The majority of the ones I’ve tried here in the states have not been to my liking. They’re either too sour, or too strong with the fish sauce. I know it all depends on where you go, but the last one I tried was really sour to the point I couldn’t finish it.
You are sooo funny that distracting scenes 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love your cooking style love from Pakistan
I am from Kolkata Bengal side of India and my mom used to put sugar in currys all the time to balance the flavours. I still do it sometimes my secret weapon oops!!
Hi!
อยู่แถวบ้านเลยร้านนี้ ลอดช่องก็อร่อย
As long as there is no cilantro......it's got to be great.
Topical Asian won't use sugar lol. Still like most of your cooking thank you.
Looks mad
First
CREATIVE LICENSE equals COOK-OFF Epic FAIL.
Good for the Thai people speaking their minds..
I would hate the owners watching me. It would freak me out.
Why she go into other people's house and tell them this thing that thing in their recipe is not good and make your version in front of them. I see it rude. Pad Thai is well known dis for sweet/sour/salty combination. If you don't like the taste then just pass. if you like to make your own version please make it at you home or channel. It's like you go to candy shop and tell them sugar is not good, like you go to KFC or Mc tell them fried thing is not good. Rude
I would be offended if someone tried to make me their version of my national dish. Cook me your national dish, so I can learn about your culture! Don't disrespect mine..
What a princess.
She meant no disrespect, I'm sure. The Thai people I have known tend to be pretty good sports, and even if they felt some offense, I think they'd forgive due to lack of mean spiritedness, and probably just chuckle about it later. Don't come to America and do that with an ethnic minority's cuisine, though. You'll NEVER hear the end of it, you're good intentions notwithstanding. We are so sensitive to, possessive and protective of cultural identifiers that it's become beyond ridiculous.
The purpose of the show is to adapt a classic dish and the Thai couple knew what was going to happen and did not have to take part in the show. She is not being disrespectful.
@@gerarddickson8099 Interesting. When I was in the US I was amazed at the huge range of eating places available to try different 'foreign' foods. It is a tightrope when it comes to respecting different cultures no matter where you are!
What if you have food allergies, eat kosher or halal?
She be diverse British so course she win innit.
It's just like you put some pineapples on the pizza, and Italians hate it. I feel this dish isn't Pad Thai at all. It's another noodle dish.
Live most of my lifetime in a region where people think we like sweet food.
I would not like sweet pad thai.
Love you, Nadiya, but this attempt is rude to the Thai couple running their biz for 20 years. What was your goal? To outdo them & expect flattery? No. I like the original Pad Thai.
Pad Thai is meant to be sweet! Can't believe she didn't use sugar, thats not pad thai.
Like Jay Blades, and the 62 other women of Asian extraction as opposed to the male they do to making up the BBC diversity, Indian, black quota. Poor Rahul who also won Bake Off get no show!
I'm not sure that's entirely fair. He has a doctorate & is probably working towards a professorship in a very specialised scientific area. Nadia was a housewife and she can return to that role full-time if she wants with no problems. It was easier for her to embrace writing cookery books & doing cookery programmes on TV than someone who has committed to Academia. If you step off that ladder it's extremely hard to get back on it. It's not as if he doesn't pop up in magazines etc with recipes as a side-hustle.
I don’t really understand what this show’s purpose or point. They are professional PadThai cook and running their own business. Buy why one stranger from other country who doesn’t really know culture and food get there and show different version of Pad Thai? Even she is using their utensils. I am not from Thai but as Asian that seems so rude.
Nadiya is also a professional cook and the show is about cook offs, so Nadiya watches how it is done and tastes their version and then they taste her adapted version. The local cooks give their verdict and this time they said they preferred their version, but that does not always happen in the show. She is not being rude and after all , the Thai couple did not have to take part.
@@wilmaknickersfit Why she has to cook off with Thai people? What can we get from this show? What's the point? I don't get when she said "You've surprised me". That's the way how they eat their food. I think many of UK people think, the way what UK people are doing is "PROPER".
@@yeoncheoljang790 Actually Nadiya is British Bangladeshi, so that's pretty Asian to me and I have tried to explain what the series was about, but here is the link to the BBC about it www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bv1k5l
@@telecake Nadiya Hussain is British Bangladeshi and comes from a traditional Bangladeshi family. Her father comes from Beanibazar and was a chef who owned an Indian restaurant, whilst her mother cooked at home, so she had two good teachers. It's best not to make sweeping judgements about someone based on an edited clip from a TV show on RUclips.
At least she made sure it's halal.
she was low key disrespectful. disappointing
Lol what a bunch of snowflakes.
She for get the dog 😢😭😀🤣
ELnation thats pretty racist
Ffs, always one
This is ridiculous......
That was rude
What a deeply insulting way of showing off. Also, the adulterated recipe used by the host of the show would make the restaurant's costs rocket. That would probably not help the people. But it was her disturbingly dismissive manner of speaking that I found appalling. She mocked them in front of her audience. "Oh, oh! Here they come!" (They weren't laughing. At all.) and "Oh, no! I need to keep him (the owner) busy." 😞
It was shocking and very disomforting to watch her ego flourish in this manner.
Ego gone awry, I guess?
I dnt know why I don't like this lady. She is like one of my cousin sister..she talks too much, and she thinks she can do everything. Lol
@@4c_Hijabi I have no time for this ...... 😂
wearing hijab with make up nice but i think its hypocritical its not supossed to be like this... + i vote for traditional pad thai
Love it !!!!!
