....I know what I'm making!

It's dishes like this that'll make the transfer to vegetarianism easier for me.

Amazing. Dude is so hardcore he stirs with knives.

Homemade pad thai is delicious, just dont try making it without tamarind!

The 'Students Vegetarian Cookbook' has a pad thai recipe where the sauce is made from some horrible ingredients, like ketchup. Ketchup does not belong in pad thai.

part of that, I think, goes with the different regions of thailand. My favorite thai place has pad thai that tastes kind of like ketchup (which I don't like). Everything else is super tasty / authentic, though.

Lots of hits on this video. Tofu eaters unite?

BLECH!!!

I do love me some pad thai, though! I messed up bigtime yesterday. My fiancee said she'd take me out for dinner, and suggested our favorite thai place. I wasnt in the mood for driving or eating big (I always eat too much there) so I kinda passed on it. Then we ended up going for sushi, and the whole car ride I was wishing I hadnt hesitated on the thai. But then we got to our favorite sushi place, and the newer chef who we met last time was working. That guy is a hoot! He's my age, extremely talkative, and likes to hook people up with free things to try. So all in all, it worked out.

I wouldnt eat it. That same cookbook has a sweet and sour recipe that uses ketchup too. I get it, the Students Cookbook is supposed to be cheap & easy, but for cryin out loud dont give me ketchup in thai food!

i was reading a nepali cookbook that mentioned that they don't give amounts because they vary between cooks and regions.

pad thai is one of those dishes that everyone makes their own way. unfortunately, when i was in asia the only pad thai i got was at the bangkok airport. it was yummy, but not like getting it on the street.

choosing between sushi and thai, treated by yer woman? that, sir, is the good life. my hat is off to you.


and now, for my ketchup story: i love asian food. i never assume my versions are anything like the true, pure originals. so i had a co-worker once who was indian but grew up in fiji. at a work pot luck he said he was gonna bring homemade samosas. i was drooling all week. and they were delicious. thrilled at the idea of getting access to an authentic recipe, i bugged him to teach me. he told me the basics and then added that he used tortillas for the shell and ketchup in the filling. my jaw dropped. he said that it works just fine, the ingredients were easier to get and why not?

it was one of several similar experiences that left me to ponder my attitudes about food. maybe because he grew up with the original recipe and ingredients, he didn't feel the necessity of being authentic?

i like to think of ketchup as tomato chutney (there, doesn't that sound better?). it is my secret ingredient. i find that half to one tablespoon full in a dish adds a sweet and sour earthiness to the meal. try it in a spicy coconut milk red curry. it rocks (especially if you don't know its in there!)

surprise!!

Indeed. She was excited because she got booked to play piano at an upscale party tonight. Free dinner for us both, and $100 for her to play four songs. Yes, only 4 songs!

Interesting. I think I may give this a shot next week.

Never had pad thai before...it looks somewhat interesting.
