To me, this Pad Thai recipe tastes like some of the best Thai takeout you can get in the states. No idea how it compares to what you can get in Thailand, but hopefully I'll find out someday.

This looks great. A tip: Get yourself some dried whole shrimp (big ones if you can find them), and grind them up in a bullet blender. Fry those up in the beginning in some oil, then add the rest of the ingredients. Elevates the dish to another level!

Hey Bri, You CAN boil noodles and not have them stick but the process involves then soaking/rinsing them in COLD water. I’ve made pad Thai a time or two in my life (more like once per week or so) and find that rinsing them in cold water or leaving them in cold water prevents them from sticking and clumping. Just throwing this out for the folks that want pad Thai NOW and not in an hour ;-)

This is a good tip that Koreans use all the time. It stops the cooking and adds a springiness to the noodles.

You can boil in water with a teaspoon of oil. Then right after you drain it, quickly toss with some neutral oil and lay out on a large flat surface to reduce sticking. Works for all most noodle types

As a Thai people, I would say this receipt is mostly near the original one that I eat in Thailand. it's excellent.

Thanks for all your small hints during your videos and how you go over the different options you may see in a grocery store when trying to get everything for a dish. It really helps. Your channel is so wonderfully balanced in information, instruction, and making the cooking less intimidating.

Thanks for explaining all of this! So educational and I’ve watched many ppl try to do pad Thai videos.

Big thanks for mentioning how many portions your recipe makes! Makes my life a lot easier when trying to figure out how much to make for just myself.

Thanks for the noodle advice! They’ve caused me the most issues in making fried noodles. They’ve been too sticky too often. Now I may get it right!

It is also very common to see tamarind pulp with is just the flesh of the pods removed and they are pressed into a square. Just add water and leave for 15 minutes and pass through a sieve to get rid of the seeds and membranes. This homemade paste will leave you with the best tamarind flavour with the least amount of sour flavour. This is the most traditional condiment used for pad thai and by far the best. I would also recommend running you knife through the preserved radishes just once because they tend to be quite long and I think it's more enjoyable to have them as little bites rather than long strands. The thing that would make this pad thai taste really authentic would be to add some dried shrimp, I hate their texture though so I always blend them in a food processor and add the powder to bloom right before adding the garlic and shallot. It will take your pad thai to another level but just be conservative with how much you add because it is a taste not everyone will love.

Cheers to your hard work 🎉

The preserved sweet radish you mention really brings this together and makes the entire dish taste more authentic, in my mind. It smells a slight bit funky (like sneakers) coming out of the packaging, but don't be afraid--it is an incredible product. Definitely worth purchasing if you are getting into your Pad Thai game at home.

I am Thai. I'd love to say that your recipe is most accurate. Your Pad Thai looks great and I believe it tastes good too.

I've seen many pad thai making videos and this one is legit. Well done.

Thank you snd I just learned the eggs can be cooked aside, what a great tip !!!

I made this for dinner tonight and it was a huge hit. Even my notoriously picky younger son loved it. I couldn't find preserved sweet radish or tamarind concentrate in our otherwise-excellent local Asian grocery, but I did find a 1# package of tamarind pulp and took another commenter's advice to soak and strain it. Which worked, but I needed about 3/4 of the package to get enough for the (doubled) recipe. A little labor-intensive to add to my weeknight rotation, but I'm definitely making that again. That makes me 3 or 3 on recipes of yours I've tried.

Excellent recipe....Enjoy a lot

I always add good amount of sweet thai soy sauce (the one that tastes and smells like molasses) to my sauce along with some vinegar to reduce the sweetness and it's amazing!

Awesome!!!!!! This is a very good looking Pad Thai which I have seen foreigners chef do.

Wow, do I appreciate this. I have NEVER had any luck with those noodles. And, never think of trying Tamarind, because I always put too much pressure on myself to please too many appetites. But, once again you take the fear out of it all, in under 10 freak'n minutes. Thanks for making us a little more brave!
