- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- Expert chef instructor King Phojanakong from the Institute of Culinary Education and home cook Onika are trading pad thai recipes and hitting the kitchen. We set Onika up with $209 worth of ingredients and King’s recipe while sending a modest $18 worth of goods back the other way. To assist Onika with King’s massive ingredient list, food scientist Rose dialed in to lend some expert advice. Which pad thai are you itching to try?

Chef King using the spice grinder to turn the noodles into flour is the kind of clever chefiness that I'm here for
Frank : Designing and building a better spice grinder
@@tconlon251 Frank: Mining and smithing....manufacturing the materials and parts needed to build his spice grinder.
We should all strive to have a relationship like King does with fish sauce
find someone that looks at you the way Chef King looks at fish sauce
or the relationship King has with anything and anybody...
I thought I was going to hate fish sauce until I found out it was made with anchovies. I love anchovies! Pizza without anchovies is boring.
@@georgez234 I like squid fish sauce
Squid is the brand
Anchovies are pretty good it tastes crunchy
It wouldn't be Thai food if there is no fish sauce
Onika gives me huge auntie vibes like she’ll be mad and then give you a cookie after.
Xam8
no literally 😂
That is just the kind of Auntie I am!🤣
Onika is so funny, I laughed so much when she said the palm sugar was ”sitting there like 💁🏾♀️”
Same!!
Me making a grilled cheese at 3am: these are all ingredients you might find in your pantry or at a local grocery store, but with my chef skills I think i can make it better.
Proceeds to add extra slice of cheese.
Hehe
Bet it tastes like crap
Don't forget the blueberries
@@somerandomperson467 well considering no one eats gourmet food every day i bet its a pretty good,easy to make meal
King should read to everyone before bed. He has such a calming voice 😊
Came here to mention the calm. You got here first....so I am just gonna engage and like to elevate your comment.
@@eacorpe88 Thanks 😊
He is the Bob Ross of cooking.
Good thing I’m watching this video trying to sleep!
Ur right he has a good podcast voice too 👌
"$209? How many people are we feeding?" - loved her response to the price!
Frfr!😂
The best response I've heard..."how many people are we feeding?"
PS Wok-a Wok-a Flame...lol 😂
If I had to Guess it would've cost 180 Bucks 208 dollars "How many people are we feeding
B
M
Hilarious
Seriously, though! Lol
How was this any fair, they are cooking a traditional Thai dish in an Asian wok cooking style that others are not familiar with. the chef knows but how would the African American woman make it 🤣, she doesn’t even have any idea. That’s like putting a Mexican and a Russian and they both make the dish Pelmeni which is a Slavic dish, the Mexican wouldn’t know where to start 💀
Tossing in a 12" cast iron skillet is a major flex, to be honest.
Cast iron skillets are easy to buy.
Old stainless steel copper core Emeril brand pans are the best.
@@Ben-Carr I'm sticking with my Griswold number eight cast iron skillet. My mother bought it in the early 1950s.
@@Ben-Carr Easy to buy, not easy to lift and toss.
Yeah it is
Emily: Ketchup
Stephen: Cheesecake
Lorenzo: Laughter
Frank: Making everything from scratch
Penny: Alcohol
Daniel: Blackberries
King: Fish Sauce
Onika: Sarcasm
Saul: avocado
Saul: cheese trick
Rawlston: Smoke gun.
Beth: buttermilk
Onika cheat grinding her topping and screaming the Gypsy Woman hook with a deadpan expression is the chaotic kitchen energy I aim for this fall
Came to comments specifically for someone to mention her singing. I felt it in my soul
Right?,??
OMG Chef King tossed the cast iron pan like it has no weight.
Right?! I pretty much exclusively use cast iron pans now but I still have one nonstick for things that need tossing! I need to hit the gym i guess
Not named King for nuthin’
@@clownsoftheearth OMG me too, they are god awful heavy😂
@@clownsoftheearth et o pdp pour pour la l'instant la on ooooo9
dudes got that chef strength.
Welcome back King. Missed him alot.
Onika arguing with her ingredients - "Get in there!"
I NEED more of Onika
I do that too! 🤣
i lost it when she berated the one scallop for not being as golden brown as the others
I have been saying this 😂😩
Props to King for turning the raw noodles into a crunchy coating! That's the kind of ingenuity we love to see with the pro chefs! (And so much better than them throwing in a bunch of other ingredients.)
Its really nice to see the pro chef use just the ingredients and chef has such great charisma
he is surely better than Jamie Oliver :D
Onika and Emily are the funniest home cooks ever. They are actually my faves
@@davidjobson7522 what you MEAN?!?
I originally watched for the cooking techniques then Emily was the reason why I kept watching these videos, then chef Frank and now Onika.
YES, YES. 😄
Home Cooks: Emily and Onika
Professional Chefs: Chef Saul, HANDS DOWN.
I feel like this is the best combo so far - they are both so charming and funny and pure can’t wait to see more of them, especially together
Is Onika in more videos? She is so witty, I loved her. The chef is amazing too, he actually used the ingredients that were given
Onika: I used the spice grinder.
King: I used the spice grinder, too!
Onika: *surprised Pikachu face*
Onika, YOU WERE A DELIGHT TO WATCH, thank you for the beautiful personality and of course the smile and enjoyment you shared
Pad Thai in Thailand is different from these two dishes. We certainly don’t put sweet corn, fresh chili, or rice and some ingredients are strange. Tamarind sauce is the key so I’m glad to see that it’s one of the ingredients.
บ้านเราไม่เห็นมีคนกินจริงๆ เลย ผัดไทยอะ มีแต่ฝรั่ง 5555
ผัดไทย ที่ปรับปรุงให้คนต่างชาติกินไง 😂😂
Believe it or not this wasn’t filmed in Thailand
Yass, I thought like what is this? Not pad thai
This turned Vietnamese
As a Thai person, Onika and Chef King both nailed it! In terms of ingredients, chef King did a great job in finding all the authentic stuffs. It’s crazy see that all his ingredients cost $208 lol You could get all those stuffs he had in Thai markets for under $18!
He went with some ingredients that are kind of hard to find (blue shrimp, squid, scallion) but other than that I feel like you can still make some really authentic dishes cheaply with what u can find in US stores. Maybe not this seafood pad thai but you can easily make the version with her ingredients as King showed!
Can we talk about how the chef literaly used only what he had and did not wave out 1000 different "pantry staples" he had lying around ?
One of the most wholesome videos I have seen in a while. They both are such amazing people with well rounded personalities. I would definitely watch a cooking show hosted by Onika and chef King
Onika cheating at grinding her ingredients is the hero we need and deserve
she didn't use a spice grinder or nothing! Well.. she used a spice grinder
We have those mortar and pestle. Some people claimed your food would taste even better using it and my family is the other some lol
Rose is so under appreciated in all these videos. She makes half of the meals happen! Plus she is so confident and warm. I want Rose in my corner!
So happy to see they're tasting each other's food again! That was always my favourite part of these :)
RIP King. What a great guy, great chef.
Nooooooooooo when?
@@monzorella1 January of this year - so incredibly sad 😢🙏🏾
Just had to come back and watch this video again. Chef King was such a calming, warm presence! I hope you’re enjoying all the fish sauce in a better place King ❤
His voice and the way he carries himself is so smooth and cool
Frank's version cost $1,476,567 because you have to create your own Thailand.
Maybe comment about Frank when:
1. He’s actually in the video.
2. It’s a video on his own channel.
I love King! I’m so glad he’s back!
And Onika is a breath of fresh air 🌻
Onika's " It's a Pannyrammy a Panna..."
*IT'S SOMETHING WITH A PAN* ✨
Cracked me up 😂😂
King: It's a Pattypan Squash.
Onika: Who named that??
XD
Missed king! So happy to see a video with him, he’s one of my favorites to watch as a professional Chef.
Ladies, if your man admires, honors and cherishes you like King does fish sauce, YOU'VE GOT IT MADE. That's true love, right there.. 🖤🖤🐟🐟😄😄
Chef King’s voice is the safe space of this channel 🥺😭
King looks like if Lorenzo did a line of MSG.
OF MSG LMFAOAOAO
I mean more like the opposite
Good to see King’s back :)
i love how chef king has such a really calming voice and relaxed me but when onika came out i just burst out laughing everytime its a rollercoaster
This is my opinion as a Thai(ไทย) while watching this video
0:59 What is pattypan squash and Swiss Chard? We don't have that in Thailand. Are they gonna cook "Pad Swiss"?
1:00 We don't put sweet corn in Pad Thai !
1:08 Sweet Rice ? Are they gonna make the noodle from scratch?
1:16 Wait.. they already have noodle and what is Rice for ?
1:49 Cannot agree more. How many people they gonna feed?
4:21 Crispy Tofu? Is it for appetizer?
5:10 Bell pepper? We don't put that in Pad Thai.
6:03 Summer on a plate. I'm amazed that you don't have pineapple in it.
6:39 Yep this is a salad not a Pad Thai.
7:33 Yeah..It's about the sauce but That does't mean you can put funny things and it gonna work.
7:52 That's right Chef.
9:46 Pickles? we don't eat Pad Thai with pickles, we eat with fresh vegetable.
10:41 Here we go rice.Toasted rice. Is it for decoration?
11:05 What are you doing? blend with the dried shrimp. This is screw up.
13:49 Vegetable stir fried done.
15:10 Yuck!
15:57 You already had Pad Thai in Thailand. Do they add sweet corn ? If they do , I'm gonna burn that shop down.
17:00 Too much sodium, man!
17:14 Yes, I'm ready to go. This be Pad Thai 5/10. Bye.
Agreed, the chef’s recipe is wack.
My thought exactly and i think the chef is thai too
18:40 it is that facial expression for me 😂😂😂, she's like ain't you supposed to be a professional chef 🥴
I know we don't see Onika and King in the comments like we do Frank and Emily, but they're still both amazing people and I'm glad to see them again! And they were both so charismatic too!
i love this series, it's really awesome seeing both chefs working within (and sometimes beyond in the case of the home cooks) their skillsets
My favorite part is seeing how chefs work with inexpensive ingredients. I can use these tips in my own cooking. The chef ingredients are mostly eye candy.
I actually really enjoyed this. I've spent more time trying to make and perfect Pad Thai than any other dish and there's so much you can do with it, and tamarind is one of my favorite ingredients. Fun to see how King would make it fancy and how he'd do it without tamarind
I'm loving the combination of this two chef, is funny and entertaining!
Onika gives vibe of that friend whom everyone loves hanging out with
Loving these vibes and now subscribed to Epicurious. They both did an incredible job 🙂 Thanks so much.
Onika is so funny! Would love to see more of her :D
they just radiate positivity with their kind reviews for each other,i love this sm
This one was so fun to watch! Loved it. 💛💛💛
Her style is unmatched. I love seeing what she has on in anytime she's in a video.
I'd like to point out that both Chef King and Onika are left handed! Most knives are made for right handed people, so it's definitely interesting to watch them cut left handed!
I love how Onika talks to the food. She is so funny and relatable!
"A pattypan squash" "who named that?" Was one of my favourite lines in this episode
RIP King! Will miss your videos!
This was so cute I loved it :) they’re personalities are perfect and light hearted
Easily one of the best ones you guys’ve ever done! A+
Why does king's voice always just make me want to sleep, so soothing and calm. I'd trust this man with anything
RIP Chef. Such a sad day.
Cracked instantly at "You better not have messed up my nails, mister squid man"
Love both Onika and King! What a wholesome episode.
I’m a Thai person who don’t like Pad Thai, but I’m still going to watch this because of Onika and King.
BEST ONE YET! Their commentary was hilarious 😂
The handshake or whatever that was 😂😂☠️
Just 2 minutes in and i am in love with the home chef. I think she is my new favorite chef. Her attitude is amazing❤
Was having a really bad day then I got this notification 😭💖
I need more Onika in my life. She is awesome.
It would be awesome to see King/the pro chefs to do a separate video where they create their expensive meals in their restaurants or culinary schools
Both looked amazing!!!🤤
Very enjoyable pairing, these two.
First time seeing them actually test each other’s food. So much better!
King: pattypan squash
Onikia: who named that 😭
Omg please🤣 I love onika so much. She always seems so stressed inthe beginning but it always turns out amazing
I love them so much! This is a perfectly balanced episode with calm and cool Chef King, and fiery and funny Onika.
King reminds me of my high school drama teacher. The way that he’s so passionate about food
Onika is literally laugh out loud hilarious, all of her quips were golden. And she handled all of those new ingredients so well! Can’t wait to see her again!
Loved this video. Two lovely people. Wish I could have tasted it. I now know how to cook the fish and tofu thank you. X
I love Chef King and Onika so much.
especially Onika, she is hilarious, I nedd more of her.
I would totally eat the version Chef King made with Onika’s ingredients. Yum!
Two of the sweetest chefs on this channel
kings new haircut makes him look like a true king
I would literally eat both of these! They look amazing! 🤗
such a happy video and what a modd!
I enjoyed the comedic banter from Onika and Chef King has the soothing voice to make any dish taste amazing. Great series. Onika is hilarious…I didn’t cheat…yes I did. Lol wholesome kitchen experience
cool to see the chefs try each others!
Both of them are so peaceful and funny
Love onika so much!!!
King has the voice and presentation style for a cooking show...Hell, when he explains things it feels like a cooking show...
y'all brought in two of my favourite chefs in the same video! 👉👈
p.s. Rose is the kinda the cheerleader I need in my life✨
nice to see the show back in person
King's back! He needs to be in more videos, and I always enjoy watching Onika.
YAY ONIKA’S BACK!!!!
When he said “fish sauce-we will be ok!” ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And I was amazed by Lorenzo's persona. Their chemistry is so cute. Another segment I loved.
I own the same IKEA pestle and mortar! Yes, I thought that was worth sharing.
when my dad came to my place for the first time he tried to hijack my £30 granite pestle and mortar off me lol told him to bugger off and buy his own lol
It was cause now I know where to get one :)
I love how real Onika is 🤣 I’d be so lost during that whole process. Her humor is everything.
Come to Thailand and try 2$ pad Thai, no pad thai cost that much it's crazy
A home chef can also be a pro chef! The difference is also the food cost! ❤️
When Onika was talking to the Palm Sugar, I died! 🤣💀
Onika is by far my favorite to watch. I love her personality!! :)
