      @Nospam Spamisham You are very wrong. Humans are the opposite of carnivores. We are primarily herbivores. The reason we get diabetes is eating too much, and the excess consumption of animal products. Yes, carbs are not good for you, and can spike your blood sugar. BUT animal products cause insulin resistance which prevents the sugars from entering the cells. Carbs spike the blood sugar, animal products prevent blood sugar from entering the cell. Not spiking your blood sugar with cheap carbs is a good idea, but avoiding animal products will make your body more able to handle an increase in blood sugar. That's why if you go to any diabetes organization website they will tell you to reduce saturated fats from animal products as much as possible. Good luck my friend

      Don't have any respect for Andy. He stole thai recipes, food, tricked locals then came back to the states and became famous for his thieving ways. Literally took someone else's recipes and got famous for them while taking all the credit and taking all the money.
      That is the white colonial footprint. Bomb the thais, steal their secrets and ideas and then claim it as their own and profit off of it.
      What's the difference than that and going to South America, taking the natives, acting like their friends, then robbing them for their gold and making them work the mines and coming back to the British empire and living rich after murder and plunder.

    One thing that I found really interesting living overseas - about 1.5 years in Thailand, close to a year in Malaysia, and about 12 years in Indonesia - is how little of their neighbors’ cultures the people of that region really know.
    In this case, you don’t get good Indonesian food in Thailand and you don’t get good Thai food in Indonesia. We in the West seem to have a tendency of lumping a lot of these countries together, maybe the same way and American thinks of the southern states or the Pacific Northwest. In reality, Southeast Asian countries are very different from one another. Their food is a bold way of reflecting this (along with their languages and religions, etc).
    And yet it still struck me as fascinating. In the case of Thailand and Indonesia, you have these two massive cultural powerhouses, each with really long and storied histories (which from time to overlapped one another - Srivijaya Empire for example), and each with really celebrated cuisines. Granted, Thailand’s cuisine has enjoyed a much farther reach globally than Indonesia’s, but they are both uniquely delicious. And yet there is almost no overlap in the finished product (also Thais can’t speak a word of Indonesian or vice versa, know anything about each other’s histories common or not, and so on). Is there prik nam pla (the spicy fish sauce he made) anywhere in Indonesia? No. Is there sambal in Thailand? Not that I know of or at least nothing like in Indonesia. Indonesians can fry the hell out of noodles, but can you find a restaurant in the country that can even make a decent pad tai? Good luck. Can you find a good beef rendang or nangka (jackfruit) curry in Thailand? Nope.
    So I guess my real point is does this guy, in his hugely vast experience dealing with Thai dishes, know much of anything when it comes to the food of their southern archipelagic neighbors’?

    I’ve made this dish about 5-6 times now and I must say, it only gets better. Putting your own twist on it by using different vegetables is a lot of fun. I also replace the seasoning sauce with Worcestershire since I believe you shouldn’t consume a lot of soy.

    I love using those Teriyaki flavored soba noodles
    They come in tray-like dishes, so after cooking you already have a dish
    I cook them in the microwave with no seasoning,leave them a bit chewy.
    Then in a pan (or wok) I stir fry them with half the pasta water,half the seasoning,and a little bit of garlic and ginger (the squeeze bottle kind)
    And you can add whatever veggies or meat you want!

    You can also take the noodles and veggies wrap it in a tortilla shell and wrap it up like a burrito and then grill it in both sides. Now you have finger food. I do that for my Ramen Burrito Bites.

      Nakiri (japanese vegetable knife). - Great when you're doing a lot of veg prep as it allows you to get a lot on the board before dumping it without stabbing product. For typical home users; probably not so great.
