Title notwithstanding, you approached this video with a serious playfulness that is appreciated! Very glad that you stated why to par-boil (I had never heard about the bone dust issue) in this situation. Dish looks lovely, the process clearly explained, 10/10 time to find some pork shoulder and beef ribs!
Okay I just have to say that the hat with those glasses, giving very Kojima vibes there and I'm here for it. Plus my kids (most) will love this recipe.
As a Thai person, i have never thought about using soup as a stock (because I did put all of herbs in a pot hahaha). But I suggest you to do TomYum based soup (contains lemongrass, galangal, Kaffir lime leaves) with your seasoning as in video. I think It taste much complex.
I love this dish because it forces folks to dig in with their hands. It's unpretentious. It's also just addictive. And I like that you highlight the importance of not going too hot on the herbs. Thai soups are often better described as infusions, I often joke that they're giant herbal teas. The herbaceous fresh character is key you them, once the base broth has been made, most Thai soups are meant to be only boiled briefly if at all. The technique of waiting until the boiling stops or letting the cold herbs stop the boiling is key. Other fun herbs to add: thin sliced makrut lime leaves, perilla, fish mint, ngo om (rice paddy herb, I love this one! If you can find it, worth experimenting)
I have dedicated myself into doing this great.. I live with a girlfriend from Vietnam so I have an understanding of the sauces.. but when we went to Tailand we tried this for the first time and then went to Vietnam... came back to Thailand and went straight to get it again. Totally different beast between restaurants but still soooo good! I've managed to obtain Pho in a way that when we eat it out (even in Hanoi) "The one you make at home is better" so I hope to make this good as well. Really good video. Just got some rib ends because neck isn't that avaliable but I hope it will work.. :)
Finally made this dish! So good! Kinda wish I went with some Thai chillies, but even with just jalapeños and fresnos, it's superb. Thanks for the recipe!
Am I the only person who finds the music distracting and disturbing? I kept wondering why I didn't feel Jon's calm cool presence as usual, but instead felt anxious... and then realized it was the music. I mean, the music might be fine if it wwasn't competing for my attention, but here? No.
Ah I saw this on the menu the other day and didn’t order it, I missed out 😢 excited to make it at home! would you be able to do the meat cooking in the pressure cooker? I’m not very patient haha
@@jonkung thanks! I might do some experimentation, worst case scenario I can probably repurpose into some kind of soup. This also sent me on a deep dive as to whether the liquid is a rolling boil when it's come up to pressure or not!
