Easy Authentic Pad Thai At Home
ฝัง

- Authentic Pad Thai is usually something you refer to a restaurant to make, but I'm telling you now that you can make it and it very well may be the best thing you've ever had. It's not a difficult recipe to make at home, all it takes is a little technique.

Im 100% Thai born and raised in Thailand and i gonna say this one is a real close to authentic Pad Thai ive ever seen on TH-cam made by foreigners
Very impressive Josh.
Pls don’t mind with my english btw.
I call bullshit on you being Thai... this is quite far from what you get in Thailand, the dish is completely unbalanced ... the yum went down the drain
@@EGOCOGITOSUM ok
@@EGOCOGITOSUM ok
@@EGOCOGITOSUM explain how this dish is "far" from authentic Pad thai
@@EGOCOGITOSUM oh really. You’re thai ?
Using a fork and spoon is fine for Thai cuisine. It’s actually the usual set of utensils for the country
Was literally about to say this haha
They actually asked me why I used the fork more than the spoon when I was there. Loved Thailand.
It's just very ordinary utensils, fork with long spoon,table spoon even chopsticks.
shhhh, papa no approve
Also for filipinos. Idk elsewhere but here we use the fork to push stuff to the spoon
Just some tips from a Thai person who loves to cook as much as you all ;) :
- For palm sugar, if you wrap it around with moist kitchen paper and pop it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, it'll be easier to break.
- Usually, we don't use black soy sauce, otherwise, we call the dish "pad see ew". ( I mentioned it because you call this recipe " Authentic pad Thai".) The main ingredients for an authentic pad thai sauce mostly are tamarind puree, shallot, palm sugar, and fish sauce.
- For pork marinade, use oyster sauce and ''thin'' soy sauce instead of black soy sauce. it will give you a smoother flavor. the sweet back soy sauce will leave a metallic aftertaste.
- There are 2 types of pickled daikon, sweet and salty. Go for the sweet pickle :)
- I live in Europe, so it's a bit expensive to get all ingredients from an Asian supermarket. Alternative for some ingredients: Chives > spring onion, bean sprout > shredded carrots
- crushed roasted peanut and pepper flakes will give you more texture and spice it up.
- Noodle of your choice: But I would suggest ''Jantaburi rice noodle'' size 3mm (the logo is a lady wear a sun hat on an orange strip), it's one of the most favorite noodles among Thai people.
Hope this info will be useful :D
wow thanks for sharing all of these tips. I'm hoping to try this recipe soon!
It is also close to mee korat
Great tips!
Not sure if this is authentic, but I was taught to make chili paste ahead of time and use it as a base.. lots of dried chilies, and a lot of the ingredients Josh used (tamarind paste, palm sugar, fish sauce, etc.). The plus to making the chili paste base is you can use it in other dishes like Tom Yum, Massaman, etc.

Put hard tofu into a padthai, I think so awesome.
Seriously the best meal I ever had in my life was pad thai in a hotel room in Thailand. Legit, I'll never forget it. It was so amazing. I hadn't eaten all day before hand.. and I'd been trekking around all day... Finally got to the hotel room and ordered this. Best meal of my life litteraly.
I need Josh to open a restaurant so I can try all of his amazing foods and make sure they really are better than the competition.
Actually he worked at one but quit for youtube
@@zekeriyakarakus4889 I know, he should open his own though, that would be awesome.
Are you could just make them? He gives you the recipes? 😂
You dare question PAPA?!
He should call it the “But better”
Finally! A Thai dish, as a Thai person I can say that this is legit. And yes, the dried shrimp is necessary
Love shrimp but gf is allergic so any idea what I can replace that with
@@krisi4168 if she is allergic to ONLY shrimp/seafood and not fish in general, maybe try bonito flakes? I guess it will be a lil diff but will still give a back umami flavour
@@krisi4168 You can use dried mushrooms with a bit of soy sauce and some browned garlic (be careful not to burn it, but it should have more colour than you normally would do, or use black garlic if you have it!), that's my go to for replacing the various types of "fishy/salty/umami" flavour profiles that you find in South-East-Asian cooking when vegan relatives come around. Oyster sauce works too, if she isn't allergic to those, though it is a more pronounced flavour.
@@lbpjaime423 you doesn't need to put them due allergic, bonito flakes is not recommend because It's rough texture ,but chili sauce or sukiyaki sauce even fish sauce or soy sauce that's enough for that
I was going to ask this as well, my husband is allergic to shellfish
As a Thai, I can assure you that this recipe is very close to the one you'll find in a Thai restaurant in Thailand. However, most pad Thai that serve in Thailand usually have shrimp or prawn rather than chicken, and probably won't add as much dark soy sauce or sweet dark soy sauce as this recipe but that depends on each restaurant recipe.
Yeeessss!!! No, or much less, dark soy sauce. No need. ...... Do most Thai's use Sriracha in their sauce? Jet Tila was talking about that. Whaddya think? I order everything Thai Hot! :-)
@@Joe_Murphy-REV_Realty Thai people don't really use Sriracha. Most place in Thailand, they normally put chilli flakes on the side of the plate unless you ask. And if you still need more spicy just add more chilli flakes not Sriracha.
That's good to know because this tasted nothing like I expected. It was very tangy and reminded me of adobo. Honestly I much prefer the sweet/spicy peanut americanized version. It was good though don't get me wrong! And fun to make!
@@huthut1471 Thanks so much!!! I put chili flakes on Everything! Lol I just made garlic bread and put crushed red chili flakes on there. Try it sometime! Delicious.
@@Joe_Murphy-REV_Realty we usually use sriracha as a dipping sauce, but some food may add some on the cooking process.
Just made this recipe and it was SO GOOD. It was totally worth the trip going to the Asian grocery store to find the exact ingredients to make the sauce from scratch.
I was literally just looking up Pad Thai recipes when I got the notification. What is this dark magic
Papa knows what you need
I made this last night and I couldn't find a recipe I liked. Then I saw this video today.
Google is listening to you through the fridge.
I had the same brand of rice noodles soaking when I started watching lol. Papa is watching over us all
Same! I thought it was a old video that popped up because of my history then I realized in a new video 😳
Josh: "dried shrimp you can not skip this"
Me, allergic: "well ok, as command, papa"
Fr tho, what's a substitute for shrimp that isn't another type of seafood? My mother's completely allerigc to practically everything from the ocean but she loves asian food, SMH
@@ariannathatdawg3400 I'm allergic too.. but I wanna eat this [sad food noises]
@@ariannathatdawg3400 search vegan shrimp
I think sand crabs taste just as great... but I dunno I'm not an expert
Try fermented fish paste, add a little for a similar funk. Read the labels though as it can still sometimes be shrimp 🍤
I just made this for dinner yesterday and I was so surprised at how well I followed this recipe. Thanks a lot! 💜
I made this for my mum tonight as she's had a stressful week 💗 I tweaked a few things and added prawns and tofu as my protein, she loves Thai food and said it tasted better than the restaurant she went to last week!!
Thankyou so much!! 😃
that’s so sweet! glad she enjoyed it ❤
I'm a Thai cook and I must say he did a good job here! In Thailand we prefer using prawns instead of chicken though ;)
I don't think you use black soy sauce in your pad thai, do you?
@@reinventingada Classically we do not. But the recipe is vary. There're a lot of variation of it. For instances: Any Pad Thai(Shrimp, chicken beef) wrap with thin egg (Quite hard to find in foreign country). Also Josh might miss 1 ingredient which is fried tofu. But some people don't like it or allergic to it so it's optional, but for the real authentic you will need it.
@@premnakhonwilai3534 I'm aware of the proteins preference here in the U.S. I'm Thai and have had all kinds of Pad Thai both in U.S. and Thailand (and some other 20 something countries). There's no fried tofu in Pad Thai. We use "yellow tofu" in Thailand and the closest substitution in the U.S. is baked tofu. I know my food and don't like when people say "authentic xyz" when they clearly don't know what's going on. We also don't use corn starch and white pepper in Pad Thai, if you want to make your own version, go for it. There's no need to be the Thai food expert and call it "authentic"
@@reinventingada like I said a lot of variation it so diverse that I don’t even know all of it or worst I might forget the real authentic one. I just know the fundementals
@@reinventingada no we don’t use black soy sauce on Pad Thai but we use it for Pad Mee Korat :)
Josh: "Y'all are always thinkin too damn nasty"
Also Josh: 𝓹𝓸𝓸𝓹𝔂
Dont forget his, “Noods hot and ready” comment. Yea pretty sure that has a rather alternate meaning. We know what he meant though.
you really went through the trouble of getting that font for the comment lmao
Ikr it does not look like poop at all unless Josh literally shits bricks. Also why did he bleep "penis"?
I kept thinking he was saying newts that is what it sounds like
Favourite TH-camr ever. Gawd I love you Joshua Weissman. The humour, the delicious food, the infectious personality. Love love love you. Never stop making videos!
This is so far the most accurate Pad Thai dish made by foreigner regardless famous chef/youtube cook or not. I’m so happy that I subscribed your channel. Love you so much it hurts. 🥺
As a Thai person, I DO APPROVE THIS RECIPE. I’ve seen a lot of Pad Thai nightmares on TH-cam but trust me this one is gonna be good. One thing if I may add: make it with shrimp rather than chicken because that’s how we eat it here in Thailand. And don’t forget to sprinkle some Thai chili flakes on top to spice it up!
I was going to ask about that! I remember having pad Thai with shrimps (or prawns) in Thailand, and also with fried tofu. But never with chicken.
Pad Thai is so gooood
Use chai po. Which is thai ingredients instead of the yellow bok choy (lol forgot the.name) also don't forget never......never never never blend the shrimp
TRUEEEEE

Hell yeah. Show how to make lunchables?
@@AdamFishk1ngf1sh3r 'but better' lunchables
wow This impress me so much. He's not only use the authentic ingredients(mostly) but his process is absolutely correct. Most of Thai cook never do this process we just stir dried shrimp ,red onion ,sweet daikon and egg together cause it's a easy way. As a Thai cook I could say he's the best foreigner who cook Phad Thai.
Previously I used a Pad Thai recipe from another channel hosted by a Thai woman and I loved it but yours is much better. Thank you for your talent.
As a Thai people, I approve this recipe.
next time with boiled shrimps
nah not with soy sauce!!!
@@reinventingada fish sauce instead?
@@ownbytruefaster fish sauce of course!
Yeah true as i am Thai too i respect this recipe.

Itd take me 4 hours round trip to get to a *good* Asian market
*laughs in living in Asia
Hahaha it's okay, u can make it anytime
I tried this recipe and it's the best. Definitely recommend adding the dried shrimp in the food processor first.
Thank you for sharing ☺️ ✨
WHY ARE ALL YOUR VIDEOS SO GOOD I'M SO TIRED, BUT I CAN'T STOP WATCHING! how have I never heard of you
As a Thai person your pad Thai is very accurate! The inclusion of the daikon is spot on and the tamarind juice cannot be skipped!
You should make some crispy Thai oyster omlette (หอยทอด) as well lol these two dishes are often served together 👌
Quick question about the tamarind juice: Is it okay to use this somewhat processed, light brown and quite fluid tamarind paste you find in most asian markets instead of those more natural bricks? I can imagine that the latter have a bit more flavor than just sour, but I haven't seen them anywhere in my city...
@@richardlohmann4013 Yeah those works fine as a substitute, I use it too. Back in Thailand, we have an even fresher version of that "natural bricks". In the end, you always juice the tamarind before you use it with anything, so you'll end up having fluid tamarind either way. It won't be the best tamarind in the world, but tamarind nonetheless.
@@richardlohmann4013 fish sauce is also necessary equal to tamarind juice.
NO. NEVER IN THIS LIFE PUT A SWEET SOY SAUCE IN PADTHAI, UNLESS YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO COOK.

I was in thailand a couple years ago and i fell in love with pad thai, but when i came back i couldn't find a single restaurant or recipy that merely resembles the ones that i had there, but this... this puts a smile on my face.
thank you bro, im cooking for a project and you've helped me. a bunch, love you papa

Thanks to your recipe my son made the best Pad Thai we have ever tasted. Thank you!!!
Also just in case people don’t live nearby an Asian marketplace or grocery store, you can easily find tamarind pulp and dried shrimp from most Mexican/Hispanic grocery stores!
Oh yea! That is actually true. Just go to your local Cardenas in SoCal. Kinda funny how much you can find in Mexican markets that would be used in Asian food, namely the countries on the west coast. 😂

There are many versions of pad Thai out there but this one looks best. The caramelization is spot on, very appealing.
I'm from Thailand and honestly Josh nailed it. but I would start with low heat because you don't want garlic, shrimp and shallot to burn. Also try simmering sauce first to bring out more flavor and chili flakes instead of pepper for a kick.
Fun fact: Pad Thai is actually a Southern Chinese noodle dish packaged as a Thai dish by the then Thai Prime Minister Phibunsongkhram to solve hunger and nutrition issues in the country in 1930s. Pad Thai uses Chinese noodles, dried shrimp, tofu, bean sprouts, which are all traditional Southern Chinese ingredients. The only Thai element in the dish is the peanut sauce.
@@devilhunterred Some questionable "facts" you have there.
@@brin57 Go look up Pad Thai history yourself. What I said were all facts.
@@devilhunterred Wiki "facts" maybe. And what's this peanut sauce you speak of? None of that in a pad thai. OK, you got it partly right, but you need to read more than one source to get the full picture. Wiki doesn't cut it. It was really invented to promote nationalism and pride, and to be a symbol of Thainess. The hunger and nutrition part came as a result of shortages in the wake of WW2.
@@brin57 Universities have long accepted Wikipedia as a legit source for years, buddy. You are about 10 years behind the times. The great thing about Wikipedia is that there isn't just one author that can promote his own agenda and beliefs, like most books and sources, Wikipedia has tens of millions of authors and peers all over the world fact-checking its articles to make sure they are objectively non-biased and true. It's the ultimate source of information that's been reviewed and approved by a large and varied demographics and this is why universities have accepted Wikipedia as a legit source for years.
"Dont substitute ingredients"

For those following along, the “zakai” he mentions can be found by searching for Thai pickled radishes. He lists it as “zha cai” which is the Chinese pinyin but I’ve seen it referred to as “huah chai” or “hua chai bpoh” or something like that as well.
NGL, most thai restaurants in Thailand don’t put that much dried shrimp or the daikon. So this one is legit!!!!
Excellent video, great fun too and obviously educative, well done guys
My second time making it. Fantastic!!! I doubled the chicken and did 9 oz of noodles. I cooked my eggs in a separate pan, because my first time I mixed before fully cooked and got everything stuck together. Lesson learned, I will probably make this in another week. Better than take out.
Killin it Josh. Been trying super hard to learn how to make this disk myself because it’s easily a top 3 favorite dish to eat for me. Gotten a lot of the ingredients along the way but I know my dish is still slightly off without real tamarind paste/juice and the Palm Sugar. I even got the fish oil already, but I think I’m ready to give it another go with ALL the full ingredients. Glad to see it’s absolutely possible to super authentic Pad Thai in my own home!
Okay I’m going to try this it looked so good 🤤

Family said they thought it could have been more sweet (which is odd, b/c they usually don't like sweet) so I'll put one more palm sugar. Thanks for making this fun video that helped me make a great dish!
Dude how could you NOT like mung bean sprouts, they are sooooo crunchy and good. It's extra crunch in a bunch.

I’m Thai. (Trust me, look at my name)
This is legit Thai recipe. Only two missing here are 1. Chili power on the side and 2. Normally Pad Thai comes with shrimps not chicken.
Regular old chili powder that even I have in my kitchen or a special kind? That's interesting!
@@TheSwauzz not typical chili powder with cumin, garlic, etc. but red chili powder found in asian markets. Super spicy and so good! I would sub crushed red chili flakes. You just need some heat 🌶️🔥
@@TheSwauzz Thai red chili flakes will be the best bet if you can find. You should be able to get in in a Asian Supermarket. McCormick Cureched Red Pepper should be a close substitute if you can't find Thai Chili flakes
You sir, are amazing! Thank you for all your insight, help, and over all super bad assness
This looks great! I just got back from Thailand 2 days ago. A few things, I found this dish is served with a fried egg on the side or on top, the bean sprouts were also on the side, with a sprig of green onion, also on the side were piles of Sugar, ground Thai chili peppers, ground peanuts, and lime wedges. The only thing stir fried together was the noodles, sauce, and shallots. I don't remember the ground dried shrimp in there, there were a few dried shrimps on top though, possible some shrimp paste somewhere in the sauce, but if so it was not as much as you used. And it was simple and delicious, and PHED!
In asia there are many layers of ingrident to make just simple meal and mostly it crush, grind, slice very thinly or make it out all the ingrident on blender and smooth it so it make a good sauce. For example when you cowok gado gado you crush all ingrident ( mostly you will put terasi or petis ( fermented prawn)) and top it or glazed or combine all of it in one pot. And may i remind you there are several ways to cool a dish in asia and it usually depend on the region they come from but there are also universal way to cool that mostly of the people usually cook in that country. Soo cooking asia dish never simple :)
My Thai ex boyfriend used to cook this for me because I love it. I can cook it myself, but this a nice walk down memory lane. Thank you! You missed a few delicious optional steps, but this is pretty legit, awesome job!
What steps 👀
Hey Josh, where'd you get your wok from? 😍🤔
I need to know!
I like it!
My exact question!
I would say Williams Sonoma. That handle looks cumbersome though.
I wonder if the wok is coated. Can’t tell but the color does look like Teflon to me.
That looks amazing, I’m going to print that recipe when I get home.
Yumm!!! I'm definitely going to try making this
Haven’t clicked on a video so fast in my life! Tried to make pad Thai a few times and never got it quite right!
We were making this and my mom told me to tell you that, “been sprouts are healthy and that you should like them.”

mega mom moment
I made this tonight. I'd be interested to know what brand of dark soy you used. It was very good but I can't say it blew me away. It was on par with our favorite Thai restaurant. The initial buy in was pretty expensive for all the ingredients, but I can make good pad Thai for the cost of protein and noodles until those run out. I am guessing about fifteen batches.
Thanks for the recipe. It was fun to cook and the family enjoyed it.
Amazin recipe thanks so much!!
I used to eat Pad thai on a daily basis when I lived on Koh Phangan, it's really great. The ones I had always looked a little bit different though. Yours looks a lot more brown but still very tasty! The ones I had didn't have much color or were rather orange.
My favorite dish from Thailand though was Khao Soi. It's originally a northern meal but we met a chef from chiang mai who cooked it for us a couple of times and it was absolutely amazing.
Maybe you can try that as well in the future.
And if you want to try the most amazing desert you must make coconut pancakes, sprinkle sugar over them and eat them when they are hot. Had them at the night food market and I literally dream of them. They were THAT good!
The orange color it's because you probably had the shrimp one! as they use the juices from the shrimp's head in the preparation. Love this version.
