The point that he makes that you can learn Thai methods in cooking to build up your knowledge of Thai food is spot on.

    The boiling of the pork meat is something that I often do for things like ground beef that I use for taco meat or spaghettis sauce, or even lettuce wraps. Doing it in boiling water separates it perfectly, and gets rid of the grease when you strain it before adding to your recipe. Mike should do a segment on this...I think that once people learn about it they will like it.

    When I lived in Houston, there was a Thai food vendor at Urban Harvest Farmers Market who would cook using only local food available at the market, and I lived for the Thai omelet she made every Saturday! If you’re ever in Houston, they have a physical location now and they’re called Street to Thai.

    I cook Laab Moo frequently at home. I like to add on the side, fresh crunchy green cabbage leaves and sliced cucumber. These help add a veggie balance to the meat and rice. Also the cabbage leaves can be used as a scoop, so that no utensils are needed. I also prefer culantro over cilantro, and extra mint. Would like to start, steaming my rice with Kaffir lime leaves, for more flavor.

    Derek did a fantastic job not only showcasing colourful dishes, but demonstrated just how approachable these are in terms of difficulty. This isn't at all about perfection, but you can easily tell he achieves the results he wants just from his own personal experience.

    • @makebistro
      @makebistro Před rokem

      Thank you! Appreciate that! That’s what I was going for,because of course all of these dishes can be and are made in varied ways of complexity and styles. For example, this is barebones laab, I often like to make it with stock instead of water, and make a galangal roasted paste to go in, with many more herbs and culantro etc etc - but the idea here was showcasing the must have components!! Thanks again.

    Very authentic way of cooking. He even made his own curry paste which tastes the best, obviously. Even for me as a Thai, I learned 1 thing or two from watching him. Big round of applause in making authentic Thai food without holding back on the taste to suit the westerners. Hats off to you.

    As someone who is half Thai and came over from there with my mother as a child and grew up on these dishes, I want to say that it makes my heart warm to see other cultures learning about our foods. Side note for those who don't like spice or can't eat it. You can leave out the peppers for the dishes that have them. The taste won't be exactly the same cause peppers don't just add heat, they also add their own type of flavor, but you can leave them out for a non spicy version. My mother would do that with small portions of the meals that had peppers in them for my brother. She'd make a whole batch then take out a small portion for him before adding in the peppers. He loved the dishes, but couldn't handle the hot peppers....lol.

      Thai food is among my most favourite that the world offers me. I have a Ukrainian background and born in Canada. My parents love it too but our favourite restaurant is a long trip but they always remind me of how much they miss their curry. The lady makes it for "white girl spice" lol but she understands our need hehe always makes us laugh. My bf is vietnamese and he makes fun of my lack of spice.. I'm spicy, just not that type ha ha :) Cheers from Canada xx

    • @Djehuti-85
      @Djehuti-85 Před rokem +2

      Agree with the flavour from the chilis. I adapted all the Thai dishes I cook from time to time. And green curry is a good example for a dish which can only be great if its spicy as hell. With a few tablespoons of green curry paste I always felt something is missing. One day I was in a "spicy mood" and put a huuuuge amount of paste in it and that ended in my best version of grren curry, so: only a mountain of these small tasty green chilis can provide the flavour this dish needs :)

    I like the synergy of these guys! Derek makes it fun to learn while cooking! Asian food especially stir fry js pretty quick. It’s the prep of ingredients and chopping that takes most of time and planning out with thickness and cooking time. I actually pre-cut verges for several days use and slice and pre-marinate meats in individual freezer bags ready to use from freezer. The ground beef dish and that fried egg is something we learn as kids in Asian homes to quickly prepare for ourselves to put over bowl of rice that’s kept warm all day in the rice cooker 🙌🏽🙌🏽
