Noodles are over saturated and end result is a dry noodle dish. Use more oil and coat the noodles, then add sauce. Oil prevents noodles from soaking up too much sauce, and leaves the whole dish with more sauce and shiny. Technique learned from several Thai restaurant owners, all said same thing.
I have such trouble cooking the fresh pad Thai noodles that come in refrigerated section. I have tried boiling the mm a little, soaking them, and heating it with extra water. It’s still firm or becomes mushy. What to do?
The problem is this is an extremely hard dish to make without knowledge. Even in Thailand most of the pad thai is average. It's like making a beef wellington in under 15 minutes. The pad thai sauce isn't even cooked so it's just all the way wrong.
As an experienced cook I can say this definitely takes more than 15 minutes. It will only be so quick if you've mastered making this but for a first timer it'll take 25 mins easy
Now, add at least 45 minutes more so you cab wash, cut and set the portions correctly plus the washing pans and utensils after. Until I see someone recording their time cooking including ALL steps involved, every "easy cooking " video is a scam.
Thank you very much. I'll follow this video 100% and it came out great. However it does not take 15 minutes, more like 45 minutes lol. I also added sesame seed oil as others in the comments has mentioned so noodles doesn't get too dried
VERY good quick recipe. Me personally, I would’ve had the aromatics going briefly before the protein, but it works either way to your taste. Make it your way. 😋👌
The sauce is really good! I’d add less fish sauce if you don’t like the taste - also one pack of noodles was too much maybe try half . Coating the noodles in a bit of oil like someone else suggested before the sauce will help prevent them from going dry! Great recipe worth the try
I could spot some wrong thing in this video 1. We don't need dark soy sauce for this 2. We use garlic chives not spring onions 3. You can put pickled radishes in the wok (optional)
Ingredients change over time. I'll tell you Americanized Thai has some even more special ingredients in it 🤣 It's always a fusion everywhere you go because some people think tamarind and fish sauce are way too flavorful. Nothing is completely authentic unless you're in Thailand. Even Italian food in America gives Italians a heart attack 😂
for those who want to make a real pad Thai. for the sauce: tamarine water coconut sugar fish sauce never soy sauce! somme use fried charlottes and fried garlic mixed with the sauce but NEVER Soy sauce! the rest of recipe. to make a real pad Thai, Garlic chives. Bean sprout peanut tofu picked sweet radish small dried shrimps egg and please stop making a fool of yourself lol
I like a these no-fuss quick cooking recipes...but I use lime juice instead of tamarind. No point buying a pack of tamarind paste if I don't use it often enough.
