- Andy Baraghani loves Thai food, especially the flavors of the northeastern region of Isan. Fish sauce, lime, chilis amongst others make the cuisine distinct, but what does it take to cook Isan Thai food? We sent Andy to Somtum Der in New York's East Village to explore the pillars of Thai cooking. Join him to learn about Isan spices, how to make perfect Thai fried chicken, coconut sticky rice and so much more.

Andy Learns Thai Cooking Techniques from a Thai Chef | Bon Appétit - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I love that the representative Thai dishes aren’t things like pad thai or thai fried rice, super informative about this region’s food and technique
You know our boy Andy wouldn't do us dirty like that.
What's funny is that Pad Thai isn't even really Thai. It's a Chinese dish that was promoted by a military strongman to promote an alternative to rice.
I wish they would have made a snakehead dish, great fish
@Leon Leo in europe every food is more authentic. It's because americans are not too adventurous with food so you start getting all those american versions because the restaurants have to adapt. Even coffee is sugary in the US. Also when I was there I couldn't find proper chocolate. :D
Also I noticed in the grocery store you could never buy the cheapest option because it was always something that was crazy fake. Like cheapest bread was this sugary bleached white bread that had a very long shelf life. Cheapest cheese is this plasticcy square cheese which im okay in cheap hamburgers but nowhere else. :D so you had to be careful not to buy crap. Usa should have more regulations because children shouldn't eat things like that.
@@henkkaa88 the reason why america doesnt really have "authentic food", other than stuff like barbeque, is because unless you look at Native American cuisine, there is no real American food, as the country was started by European immigrants. Southern food is inspired by peasant food, and stuff like cajun is a mix of french and native cuisine.
Also, yes we have a ton of cheap food, but there is also a ton of good food if you go to places like farmers markets or specialty stores. Only people who cannot afford much or are ignorant to proper nutrition eat garbage. Chocolate wise, cheap chocolate like Hersheys isn't something we even eat all the time, it's mostly when you feel nostalgic or want to make some s'mores.
I'm not trying to say your entirely wrong, but I think you should put more research into American cuisine before making a comment on a place you've only visited and done little research on.
I LOVE this series. Andy is inquisitive without being condescending. He's knowledgeable and doesn't talk over the experts. He's down to try anything without making faces at food he's unfamiliar with. So many other people who hosts shows like this fall into those faults but Andy is a wonderful host that you can tell is really interested and respectful towards the food and the experts which is, sadly, enormously refreshing. I hope this series goes on for a long time, I learn so much and enjoy it a lot.
I APPRECIATE HOW ACCURATE, CONSIDERATE AND WELL-THOUGHT OUT THIS DESCRIPTION IS (I do apologize for shouting but I got genuinely excited reading your comment)
I advocate for Mr. Baraghani to have his own Netflix special.
Preach! Yes love his quiet and thoughtful approach to his show.
Yes. It’s that he’s specially NOT condescending which is 👌🏼! I feel like he could easily given his expertise and confidence, but he keeps a humbleness and respectfulness, while still having his sass.
I totally agree! He is just sincere is his thoughts, in his questions, in his wonderings. I LOVE IT.
"Andy Makes/Explores ______ Food" has quickly grown to be my favorite series on this channel lately. I love everyone's stuff, but I find myself rewatching almost all of these with friends/family and thinking about the food a lot.
I'd like to see a follow up or two, where we see if he actually learned to make some dishes better since he made a video.
mottsap It’s probably my least favorite. I’d like it so much more without Andy. I don’t know, something about him rubs me the wrong way. I can barely make it through these.
@@recoil53 I think in one of the earlier one's he recreated the dishes in the test kitchen, but maybe decided to cut it since it was redundant?
I love it too! It's learning about cultural food norms in other countries, but also cool that it can all be eaten in New York! I am studying Geography in school, and it is amazing to continue learning along with Andy throughout his experiences!
@@e2strom He recreates dishes after, but does Andy make progress after?
Andy: *eats chili* “That was not a smart idea”
Supanee: “No”
Amiel: "Hold my jumpsuit"
55 lets not kid she definitely enjoyed a lil watching the farang eat straight up chilli (even if it wasn’t legit thai bird’s eye)
Andy: "Chris! How does this taste like?"
Chris: *Cyanide*
Andy: 😲
Chris is the best.
But Andy is ALSO the best.
Русский Гройпер it’s New York. What do you expect
Русский Гройпер ok and
I came in the comments to say this...👀
@Русский Гройпер hilarious!
Just one time:
Chris makes something fermented.
Brad tries Gourmet Makes.
Claire does mystery treasure hunt.
Molly learns how to cook an international cuisine.
Andy tries to blindly reverse engineer a dish.
Delany explores every way to cook a food.
Amiel instructs a guest through a dish back-to-back.
Carla tries one of everything on the menu at a restaurant.
Bon Appétit starts branding all these series with official names.
Rhoda marries me.
How about we get some of these on April Fool's Day? Pleeease, @bonappetit ? :)
I was so confused when I first scanned this.
Yes!!
This is the first match up that I agree with :))) please switch up the shows!!!!
Lol that last bit
As a Thai-American person, this video made me feel really visible and represented authentically for the first time ever.
Miko K thats awesomeeee!!
Miko K finally a thai who’s well spoken and classy and an authentic thai food
Sameeee
He said “whats this right now” the boy said “uhh water” 😂😂
Andy: "so just regular white sugar?"
Chef: "uhh... This is salt"
Wourder...oh wrong chef😂
2:57
Supanee: "This is pickled garlic"
*Brad Leone has entered the chat*
The crab and fish paste (pha ra) also quite famous fermented food here. I'd love to see Brad try to make it in his style.
Andy is so knowledgeable to begin with and like he is so interested to learn as well. It’s amazing
As much as the episode itself is fascinating, Andy is charming as ever and his hosts are lovely too... I can't help but find myself admiring that dude's funky hat
What's that? A hat?
Crazy, funky, junky hat
Overslept, hair unsightly
Trying to look like Keira Knightley
We've been there, we've done that
We see right through your funky hat
@@jules6335 are you ok? Or is this just a thing i dont know
Raukura Cave definitely a thing you don’t know
@@lujanes6598 it sounds familiar but i just cant place it lol.
Raukura Cave wizards of waverly place, selena and her best friend in the show used to sing it
I'm gonna be 'that Thai guy' and say this actually makes me appreciate my country more. Would really love to see their takes on northern Thai food.
Phiraphon Pong Same here!
I’m Laotian but I was really excited to see something similar!
อยากกินฮังเล
สุด
So good BA came around Thai food
So bizzare not only hearing, but also seeing Amiel chew at the same time!! Didn't know that was possible
Gina He really does chew like he does in those videos. I wonder if he’s munching on something as he’s recording the voiceover.
@@k_ph99 he said he does, but pics or didnt happen holds true too
Wdym? Did I miss something?
@@athmaid Amiel ADRs his videos and he usually makes chewing sounds.
Next time...
BA After Dark: Andy's Month in Thailand
Oh now I can't stop imagining things :(
Is that their PornHub account?
I'd bet money he went to a full moon party, a month is a specific amount of time and we've all seen Andy bust some dirty dance moves.
Find Andy getting gawked at in Silom soi 4
i feel like it was a month long bender
The girls go to Italy. You best send Andy to Asia dammit.
Imagine if Andy goes to the middle East, travel to the east through India, Nepal, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos or even Malyasia and Bangladesh. He will become more of a monster of a chef.
When he snorted the chili powder I died why would you put powdered chili under your nose and inhale
drug habits i guess
Naman Chordia To show your dominance. It’s an alpha male thing.
@@GeezGwen You can't let your food sense fear - establish dominance so you will be in control.
To remember the smell Obvio.
@@GeezGwen To be the True Alpha pour them directly into your nostrils.
thai representation is sooo rare on big food channels!!! so happy to see this. we appreciate it!
Love that Andy lived in a warehouse in Brooklyn. Also, Andy has very precise descriptions of what he's tasting, I really enjoy it!
Eli Cohen He will do well if they ever switch things up and Andy gets assigned with Reverse Engineering.
Amiel with a noseful of chilli: "I'm getting like, almost spicy!?"
The part where he tastes the individual ingredients is my favorite part. I would never think of tasting fish sauce by itself and he tries all the things.
That's my favorite part. His descriptions are so helpful.
I low key imagine Andy living in a small-ish apartment with every surface, kook and cranny filled with pestle and mortars
Julian Gatt and he sits directly in the center on a wooden stool with a lamp over his head as he admires his collection.
Have you seen his Into the Gloss feature? He was sitting in front of like, a wall lined with pestle and mortars on shelves 😂
when amiel ate the eggplant he mentioned it being "almost a little nightshade-y" it instantly reminded me of the fact that eggplants are, indeed, members of the nightshade family
1:38
"And this is the kitchen!"
"GO awAY"
M N I was looking for this comment. I wasn’t sure that I heard it right. Lol.
Pretty sure it was a Mexican dude saying no guey which is the most common word used by Mexicans, used in place of words like dude or bro
I love how many of these restaurant owners are women, whether it’s intentional or not it’s nice to see!
Actually, in the past of Thailand, women tends to have more experience in kitchen than men as she have to cook for their husband, children, and probably parents-in-law as they have to move to their husband’s house. It’s not surprising that women can be owners/managers of the restaurant because they know what to buy, what to do, and what to serve.
@@tuipaopao it's true in almost every country. But it is so refreshing to see BA is choosing to show us those women!
ศัลย์ สหกิจรุ่งเรือง But the thing with a patriarchal society especially in the west is that when a man cooks, he’s an artist, but when a woman cooks, it’s her duty. So female chefs and restaurant owners are only starting to get as much credit as their male colleagues.
high horse Because it’s nice to showcase people other than Bobby Flay and Guy Fieri
@high horse Nice to represent people in ways you don't commonly see, to show more interesting and different content.
31:06 Chris Morocco having a stern chat with his evil twin in the background
It was Vinny! I saw the side-by-side pics on Instagram @ couple weeks ago.
Amber Trafton is it really Vinny? He’s so hot omg
Carly Matthews yes! That’s him.
Oh, it was a mistake to watch this right before I go to the Asian grocery store. Now the list of stuff I want to buy just tripled in size.
Lucky you! You have Asian grocery store within walking distance. Envy you big time
Lucky what kind of Asian groceries did you get?
Andy’s side eyes always crack me up 😆
Janice
My bf is Persian too and he gives side eyes alll the time. His father too. Maybe a persian thing?
In summary, Andy gives distraught looks to the camera as Chef Jim performs an amazing feat of cooking
So Andy is pulling a Jim on Jim🤔
as a southeast asian, though not thai, i appreciate how thorough the video was!!!
Amiel with the moustache reminds me of Jake in Brooklyn 99 disguised as a pervert. "What is the wifi passowrd? We have much content to stream"
Nailed it😂
Idk why but the Department of Buildings sounds so fake to me 🤣🤣🤣
Like they they just made up the name of the spot
uhhh yeah uhhh we need to be professional let’s call this place the-...... DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS
It's a real thing, he meant Department of Housing which is a real thing in New York.
@@givememore4free The DOH? That sounds like something Homer Simpson invented 😅
@@givememore4free Department of Buildings is also a real thing.
He's so humble never talks about how skilled he is when in another chefs kitchen
Ameil must have a thing for the 70's i dont know why but every time i see him in a video he reminds me of what was worn in the 70's
70's drug dealer 😂
He is peak hipster, but I love him
the 70s were just all-blue outfits?
Deffinatelly has the 70-80s czech factory worker aura.
@@gabethet8458 wig
Seeing a new BA video has been posted is literally the best thing ever
Last week and this week there has been one every (week) day. One of those days had two.
Chris
*eats a green papaya seed* "oh this tastes like cyanide"
*eats a taki*: malfunctions
I would watch this type of show as an entire series. Love the 'meet an expert' feeling and the authentic passion Andy has for this type of cuisine. Please make more videos in this style with other hosts. Simple and well done.
08:09
Andy: Three out of six I feel comfortable with
Supanee: *tilts head* Do you though? Do you really?
I totally saw that!! HAH
Now I need an “Andy Learns How To Cook Vietnamese Food” please
Andy is so comfortable in his interactions
11:20 Golden chance for Molly to get Andy back after that salt jibe!
"Can't even recognize salt Andy?"
Yessss Isan region!!! I lived in Mahasarakham when I was in college for like 3 months. LOVEDDDD the food. Love the people. Love the country. This video makes my soul happy.
Yay! Andy's getting close to the Filipino food episode haha
Petition for Andy to learn how to cook Mexican food and go to a trip to Mexico with Rick 💕
Betty Flores BUDDY COP ROAD TRIP MOVIE
I just read the title as “Andy learns how to cook food” 😂 bit harsh
Well he did learn water and salt
When your boss is sending you a message.
This is how Thai people would interpret this anyway.
Was there a huge backlog on Andy content? Theres a new one each week.
Loving the dive into these different foods!
I watched this high and literally got the munchies so bad that I couldn’t stop my cravings so I got Thai food on Uber eats while still watching it
Lol how was it
This is me. I am you.
Andy's ability to draw details out of the chefs with good questions is fantastic. One minor wish: I would like the "this is the restaurant/menu/kitchen" introduction was done at about half the speed it currently is.
This was the best episode of Andy Learns yet!
Caitlyn Dill
Yea andy was really into this one
Andy looks intently at the camera and starts hacking with a cleaver. Fingers intact.
If you've seen Andy, he always cuts things up like that. He always looks around when he's chopping/cutting/peeling anything
@@joshvente6898 Yep, that's the joke...
Next Andy should try to cook north african food! Please, either moroccan or algerian food!!
ahh its so lovely to see my country's food being appreciated and especially the isan region since thats where my mother grew up before my dad brought her to the states
Im falling in love with this show. Bon Appetit has done a great job exploring world cuisines in just a few episodes. Andy is a great host too. This is top quality, but everything in Bon Appetit is. Wow! Great!
S
Andy! Can you please try learning how to cook Indonesian food? Indonesian food is so incredibly diverse by the region. Especially try cooking Balinese, Lombok, Manado or Padang food as these are some of the spiciest food you will have ever tasted.
"Cyanide" - reasons why I love Chris
I’m Lao-American and watching this video made me so happy! Growing up, my mom made these type of dishes for us. Very nostalgic. If you love soop nor mai, you definitely have to try gang nor mai!
Well I mean this is Lao food smh
Andy, you are the best student I have ever seen. Respectful, honest, curious, observant. Clearly speaking your questions, emotions, immediately yet nicely, so that your teachers do not have to guess. I understand Thai cooking better, Andy, all because you're an excellent student!!
Love how ready Andy is to learn, seeing how Thai people cook and mix and match flavors was so fascinating! I think that Japanese or Korean food would be really cool!
this series makes me want to travel so bad
Brooke Hollister thailand still my favorite place to go, definitely consider if you get the chance!
@@nameloss Delicious food, really nice people, beautiful architecture and nature. Great place to visit. :)
ABSOLUTELY one of the BEST test Kitchen epoisode. This is where ANDY SHINES. Most of the other chefs get on my nerves. He’s easy on the eyes, fun, friendly, relatable, passionate, calming, not annoying, knowledgeable and curious WITHOUT BEING A KNOW IT ALL LIKE MANY OF HIS COWORKERS.
This format of exploring restaurants around the cities should be explored more I feel!!
Love Andy & Amiel's energy! Please more videos with them working together BA!!!
The Thai eggplant looks like a tomatillo!
Excuse me, Amiel is being VERY flirtatious with Andy here and it's making me feel things.
@Fe Car and?
Literally Brad in every video with Andy.
Jim is such a sweetheart!! I loved seeing him explain and cook things with his chill attitude
There is an amazing Thai place by my house that makes a handful of "chinese" dishes, one of which is sesame chicken.
But I always wondered why the texture and breading on it was so unqiue... seeing this video it all makes so much sense.
Loved seeing the different ingredients that are used to make up the 5 tastes!
I LOVE this series!!!! keep it coming! obsessed with andy he's sooo cute
When Andy describes how he craves the flavors because he didnt grow up with them resonates so so much with me ! Thank you Andy !
Omg 22:56, the way Amiel says hi to Andy. TOTES ADORBS!
I was smiling when he Andy was holding the pestle. I was like "you need to have more force than that".
But that was after he put too much force while cutting the fired chicken dropping it on the floor. He looks strong but the key is getting the pressure right.
Yessss. One of my favourite cuisines in the entire world. 😍 These episodes are always entertaining and informative. Thank you, Andy! Fantastic choice. 👍🏻
That episode was HUGE! Thai cuisine is so great!
Thanks!
Thank you Bon Appetit. For showing cuisines of the world in an authentic and entertaining way.
SO ready for this!
I am ready to make a new video my fans need me all around the world
Props to the artist who created the channel banner! - Looks Great :D
Those videos are becoming my favourites on this channel. I love discovering new cultures and there's no better way than through food.
I love Andy's new show!! He's so thoughtful and clearly excited about exploring other cultures' foods :)
I criticized Andy for his take on larb before. So I LOVE seeing him taking his time to learn more about Isan/Thai food. Thanks, Andy
Amiel rolling his eyes back to sneeze I'm dead
Supanee looked and spoke like she did not want to be there LOL! I can't wait to go eat all of this food in NY. Thanks, Andy!
Love this new series
Thai food is amazing, we have a Thai lady friend who used to be a chef in a 5 star Thai restaurant cook us yet famous dishes sometimes and I love Thai food so much. 😍
i appreciate her for calling them makrut leaves rather than the other name. its about time for this to catch on in the US
Juan Iglesias Unfortunately a lot of (at least, white) Americans are unfamiliar with the racial baggage of the other name
I didn't know that it had a racial sensitivity to it. Thank you for teaching me something. I will continue now to use makrut. Sounds cooler anyway
@Honin Akecheta google it, it's a whole thing.
Aw the chef that was showing Andy how to make the dishes was so adorable
29:40 hands down favorite part of the episode cuz the food-geek-out over not being able to identify what it tastes like and gets others involved! Relatable. 😍
Andy: "Now whats this strange material"
: "thats water"
Andy and Thai food!
We have been blessed by the BA gods
Awww seeing Amiel acting fem, flawless, happy and bubbly around Andy gives me life 😩😍😍 I ship it.
He’s married=\
Yall can be straight and be fem, flawless, happy and bubbly too
By far my favorite series in BA. SOO Sooooo interesting!
the Internet Boyfriend of Our Dreams striking once again
Oh my god Andy and Amiel is the combo I didnt know I needed
right?!
I didn't know they would enhance each other's quirkiness and randomness. Was hilarious.
Def new favorite series on this channel
Amazing!!! We need more of this!!
I'm Thai and I have to watch this!!!
I. Love. How. Regionally. Specific. This. IS. Good job everyone involved. Delicious. Embrace the fish sauce!!
i have been waiting for this episode for SO LONG.
My absolute favorite show of BA!! Love seeing Andy in kitchens he’s not fully comfortable in, and being so sensitive to different cultures “laws” of food. Please keep me coming!!!!
Is it just me or this restaraunt is a standout. Look at the use of many exotic (to american tastes) ingredients and cooking techniques. Fried garlic and duck skin in that spicy/vinger with rice? That fried chicken? Holy smokes
I first read the chef's name as Jim Kardashian lmao
this guy is soo respectful eager to learn, gotta love andy
I’m loving this series!
