Street Vendor Video: Pad Thai

Attend Our Cooking School in Thailand

This video demonstrates how to make a Classic Pad Thai based on the original style which uses fresh lime (served on the side at the end) to add sour flavor but no tamarind. The main flavor ingredients here are vinegar, fish sauce, sugar and ground chile. The chef here is very well known in the area of Nakorn Pathom, having an excellent reputation. As a result, she's always cooking for a steady stream of customers. Her shop name is Pad Thai Buang Yuan, noting the two recipes she specializes in (Buang Yuan is a type of Thai omelet).

The possibilities are endless when it comes to Pad Thai--please see the video below featuring a street vendor preparing two other versions. We also have our own favorite version of Pad Thai that uses tofu (which we love in Pad Thai!), and takes practice but has a wondeful rich flavor.

I grew up in the states watching my mom cook Thai as a kid. . . I make many dishes at home on my own with products purchased at a local asian market. I've watched several of your videos and am so thoroughly impressed to know now that I'm doing it ALMOST EXACTLY as they do it on the streets in Thailand!!! :) (Sadly, I haven't been back yet, since leaving there as a toddler.) Thank you tons. . . when I'm ready to reorder some staples, I think I might skip the trip to HungFung and use importfood.com . :)

You can tell by the way this lady moves that she has been doing this for a long time and is expert at this dish. I have had a hard time with Pad Thai because the noodles get too soft. The rule is to just soak the rice stick in warm water until they are softening but still stiff. Look at the stiffness of the noodles when she puts them in for the correct texture. Also, does anyone know how she makes the shrimp and coconut concoction? Does she re-hydrate the dried shrimp first? How long does she saute the shrimp and coconut together? Where does the reddish color come from/ The chile powder?

Thanx for this video! It reminds me of when I used to be in Thailand. The vendor cooks in a very unique way she really inspired me into trying to make my mom's phat-thai recipe and to try others. !
