Red, Yellow, and Green Curry, and How Thai Restaurants Took Over the World
Red, Yellow, and Green Curry- the so-called "Stoplight" Curries at the center of overseas Thai menus- are, to fans around the world, presented as a single category. But the truth about these three dishes is far more complicated. Not only are they never found together, they were each created in different cities, in different kingdoms, centuries apart. They have their own histories and their own unique flavors, and telling their story means diving into not just the history of Thai curry, but the fascinating path it took to the global mainstream.

    When I heard there are many kind of vegies in green curry as broccoli and baby corn except pea egg plants in a Thai restaurant at Tanon Kawsan , I realize that they are not the traditional ingredients of green curry. It is the European style green curry. Green curry is mixed with 3 parts of curry paste, coconut soup and the body of meat and veggies. Coconut soup is the most part that make this dish more flavor, so looking for the fresh coconut milk that make your dish more delicious.

      Sukhothai was a province of Ayuthaya Kingdom. They were the parts of Suwannabhumee region in Southeast Asia. There were many tribes settle down here and were influenced by India and China 2000 years ago. The people made food by roast, bbq boil without sweet or oil. Thai people got cooking techniques to make soup and stir fire from China and making curry from India. That techniques were mixed together in the early Ayutthaya period. At that time Sukhothai was annexed to a part of Ayuthaya kingdom.

    Oil and cream is what brings the flavors together. American foods used to use sauces and gravy to meld the food together. Like mash potatoes, steak and peas. Crook pot roasts. Now even restaurants use a filler of gum to keep the sauces and gravy looking good but it loses its flavor. And too much starch as gravy. Flour is best for gravy with drippings and pan scrapings.

      Massively disagree. I've worked with many Michelin-starred chefs including a 3-star and one thing they have in common is the idea of putting ingredients first- use what's fresh and local, always, with tradition something to respect instead of something to be tied to like an anchor.

      @@RadenWA Well I mean the basics of these curries are the same- you can't completely reinvent the wheel, it's still made from lemongrass/galangal/kaffir lime/chilis/shrimp paste, etc. If you can't get the foundational ingredients, you don't make the dish. But the meats or vegetables added can and should make use of what is local, instead of something shipped in frozen. And if something is especially high-quality in a certain place, the fun in cooking is to take advantage of that resource. That's what the chef was talking about by referencing cold-water fish as a protein if cooking in England. To me, that's the right way to cook, I don't personally have a problem with it at all.

However when the word “authentic” is involved it seems many culinary cultures are very insistent that certain dishes has to be done with specific ingredients, even if it has to be imported from the origin country. Thai curries seem to be more flexible at least when it comes to the protein, and I think it’s a refreshing mindset among this stifling obsession with “authenticity”.

    At 16.40, Gaeng Hung Le is actually not a heritage of Chinese. We knew that Thai adopted and developed it from a Myanmar food. We do not know that Myanmar got it from south of China or not, that could be back in ages that we could not find out. However as a northern Thai people who are directly involved in this Gaeng, I will give a credit to Myanmar, not China.

It is certainly not Chinese (though as mentioned in this video, it uses Chinese ingredients such as Soy Sauce). It's a dish of the Mon people, mainly in Myanmar but also northern Thailand and Yunnan Province in China.

    I hope you're not implying the stop light curries only came to the west in 2002. I first met these curries on the East coast mid-80's, and when I moved down under, Thai food was already gaining traction here. But the format you describe - choose your colour, choice of protein - that was already firmly established in America in the 80's.

Next he is gonna say jollof rice was influenced by Spanish/Mexican rice lol....there is such a thing as converging evolution. If this guy really did his research, he would have known that chilli peppers are originally from the Americas and was only introduced to the rest of the world in the 16th century while the Axumite kingdom only lasted til the 8th century. One can not make berbere/doro wot without chilli 🌶️. 15-19th century Ethiopia was an isolated kingdom due Islamic encroachment and thus free sea trade between Ethiopia and Asia was not a thing anymore. So in short, doro wot is a purely Ethiopian concept that has nothing to do with Asia. Nice try though 🥴

      Ffs watch our rice documentary to see 25 minutes on west African culinary history including jollof rice. Garbage comment, sorry but I truly don’t care about nationalism or pride, facts- written history and archeology- are the only things that matter. And if you actually followed our channel you would know that one of our primary missions is calling attention to the under-reported and amazing history of African cuisine.

    There's also Gaeng Jued (Plain Curry) which doesn't contain any paste or spice, just broth with reddish and pork. While it could be used for curry, it's more like just a historic term for 'soup', when you're referring to a generic liquid in any soup, it's Nan Gaeng/Ganeg water (น้ำแกง) be it curry or miso soup. It's confusing so mostly it's just called soup or Nam soup now.

    Having grown up in Vienna hearing about sausage in a pancake with maggi being Japanese-Thai feels like a culinary prank. This gives leftovers from grandma I threw together at three in the morning baked out of my gourd. Some full-circle nonsense I cannot put into words.

    No, we have more than red, yellow, and green, thers also brown (Massamun or Panang) and clear (Kang Pa) 😂 My parents had a Thai restaurant 1 hour west of Chicago from 1994 to 2005. THAI food was and is loved because there are five flavors in your mouth all ar once: sweet, salty, sour, spicy, and natural. Don't forget how herbalicious Thai food can be. Constantly calling it a "stop light" curry is a cheap shot at trying to ruin Thailand's marvelous cuisine. Watching it the whole way through I can feel his attempts to hate on Thai delicious cuisine with endless varieties. It is not economical to put everything from Thailand on the menu as a business owner. Just like vaccines there are 50,000 pathogens and only 36 vaccines. It's a business! It's easier to sell what is familiar. You have to tone down the spice or distinct smells of fish sauce for those who are "children" to the cuisine because they will have sensory overload. OTR must stand for over the rainbow. I am NOT subscribing. He isn't giving Thai people credit. Saying the Chinese made the stir fries the Indians have the spice. Without the location and trade neither China or India could make such delicious food on their own that has the most variety. An orgy and heavenly harmony of flavors in your mouth ALL in one bite. If a Chinese man is using Thai wood and style to build something it's Thai by influence, not Chinese. If an Indian man is using Thai wood and style, it's no longer Indian, it has Thai influence. The fact that all these other cultures who came to Thailand and are using Thai ingredients makes it Thai by the balance of flavors plus fish sauce. Chinese flavors are just sweet, salty and vinegary. Indian food has too much spice for Thai palates. These Chinrse and Indians catered to the Thai palates just like Thai reataurant owners did to the U.S. consumers. Thanks to the trade route Thailand has the best of everything.

      This is a complete garbage comment and totally nonsensical. I'm sorry, but please feel free (or don't, I truly don't care) to explore the rest of our channel if you have any doubts about our sincerity or motivations. Our only consideration is facts and we stick to them diligently. I'm not even remotely sure how you got this takeaway from this video, but I don't think there's much point in trying to convince you otherwise, so I'll just say you...missed the meaning of this. Also, I deleted your other copy-paste identical comment, because that's spam. Once is enough.

      I don't have much clue what u were saying but if u want an idea of today what people use then have curries from different cultures. And look at the sauce bottles Cooks/Chefs use and vegetables from their country.

  • @kittichodthiraphadungphong3277

    What's funny aside from 'Kang' is not originally Thai is that 'Jek Pui', the street food shop that I went to film was actually a Thai-Chinese descendant which means that the one that does it good is not pure Thai but Thai-Chinese. What a diverse country, Thailand!

    Have you heard of 銅盤烤肉 (lit. brass plate barbecue) in Taiwan? Here it’s branded as Korean, but it has obvious differences from real Korean barbecue, and a strikingly resemblance to moo kratha, especially the deep rim used to hold broth. The history of that is also murky; I can trace its appearance to at least around 1980 and that’s about it. I wonder if it’s an independent development, or if one is the source of another-I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s introduced from Thailand-but the decision to market it as Korean seems a bit too random to me if it’s actually Thai.
