You guys should do a series of an ingredient used in different cuisines...like tamarind in Thai and Indian cuisine. It would also explore what different techniques do to same ingredient as well as different combinations. I love this idea of mine.
I love how at first it seemed Chef was timid, but once she got into talking and teaching, she was a wealth of knowledge and in her comfort zone. Amazing guest!
I think it's great you are talking about Chef's wealth of knowledge and what an amazing guest she was. I totally agree! Thought you might find it helpful to throw in the thought that one culture's timid/shy cues can be another culture's respectable and polite mannerisms when first meeting someone or even a mixture of both things. I'm not saying one way or the other in this instance, but it's something to consider when getting first impressions. For sure, she was quieter and less animated at first, but not sure about the "timid" or "shy." Cheers.
Even the most shy people tend to love to tell people about things they're passionate about. I think that's what we are seeing here. She seems to love to cook.
As a Thai I can say you guys got lucky. Not very many people would bring Cha-om onto a show. It's quite a pungent plant used in dishes not often shown in the west. And the fact that she just pounded a namprik kapi for you fresh, wow. edit: I commented before I saw what she brought out for #3. My favourite, kaeng taipla. Double respect.
In Queensland Australia cha-om it is classified as an invasive prohibited plant. You must not keep, move, give away, sell or release into the environment. Penalties may apply.
@@karengreenfield7773 Yeah that's pretty common. As Ozzyland is basically a giant island, with a fairly varied and often "good" climate, so many different plants and animals thrive there that don't actually originate there. So it's really easy for things to come in and just drive existing species to extinction.
@Noob7Zilla I feel you ,bro(or sis?).I am the only one dislike Cha-om, everyone around me is just crazy about it😂 Tho Nam-prik-ka-pi(the dipping paste)is my favouriteee😊 Also gang-tai-pla(3rd dish)is actually harmoniously tasteful even for someone who hates intestines so much,Yummerssssss

I grew up in Malaysia 30 minutes from the Thai border so ate a lot of Thai food as a child. I adored sticky rice as a child because we used to shape it and have competitions with the other children! I’ve eaten at this Thai restaurant and it was amazing! Great food and atmosphere!
She’s so lovely! What a cool woman to learn from! I love how she opened up on camera and I loved when Barry didn’t listen to her and immediately regretted it 😂
That was huge fun and so informative. Saiphin was quite nervous at the start I felt and wasn't sure it was going to work, but my goodness she warmed up. What a lovely lady.
Being from Malaysia, it's such a blessing that we have easy access to good Thai food as we have many local Thais and Thai migrants. It contrasts yet meshes very well with the local Malay, Chinese and Indian food as Thai cuisine is so unique.
As a thai people i love some of Malaysia dish too but it really hard to find except in the south My fevourite is Sarawak laksa that i eat in the university when the class want us to exchange our kind of food
As a Thai, I can say that the centipede part of the thai moonshine is true. Actually, the recipe for Yadong (literary translated as fermented medicine) is very vary from village to village. In some places they would just put the herbs in. In the chinese settlement village you would find Yadong with chinese medicines, botanic, or herbs. Some even put sea horses or cobras instead of the centipede.
Thats very interesting...also, the idea of putting animals into alcohol seems really widespread. After all, what else is mexican Mezcal...the worm is the best bit 😁
I'm loving these deep dives into different food cultures! It would be very helpful if you would show us the names on screen of the different ingredients & dishes.
As a Thai and having family from the south of Thailand, I’m so happy to see our local food being shown as most people only know about popular dishes like pad Thai etc. each region has their own flavour and unique taste/textures.
Been a fan for more than 10 years. As a Thai fan that grew up loving your contents, I'm so proud that you open to a world of local Thai cuisine, especially down south from my hometown. Quick tip, the omelet and the curry are super combo when serve hot with cooked jasmine rice.
Very good! I’m Thai and I live in south of Thailand! I’m so proud of my local food to be presented in this show! Thank you for spreading my Thai local southern food 👍🏼👍🏼
I absolutely LOVE how you guys are so good at being respectful while still having fun. Yall celebrate culture in all of its forms even if its way out of your own comfort zone.
Big love for Thailand 🇹🇭 I've lived here for over ten years. Thai people can be very particular about how you eat certain things and this comes through on the video .😅🙏❤️🇹🇭 She brought super authentic local ingredients to the show today 👏
YES! It's interesting the question they ask you is "Do you know how to eat (blank)? " Kin Pen Mai? They don't only mean if you can eat something, they mean do you know HOW to eat it.
I just want to say a quick thank you for uploading your videos. Today is a very hard day for me because it’s my moms birthday but she’s in the hospital, where she was told they are going to stop giving her chemo treatments because there’s “no more hope” for her… your videos always make me smile even when I feel like my world is falling apart so thank you
i know that i’m not the intended recipient for this message, but i just wanted to say that i am so sorry to hear about your mom. i don’t know if you’re religious or not, but these kinds of experiences tend to make us all question what we know. please hang in there. enjoy all of the time you have left with your mom and know that there is a solution to all of the problems that we face today
I'm so sorry to hear this. My husband and I have just been through this situation so I can imagine how you might be feeling. Sending love and peace to you and your family. What we did was to make Mom happy... we let her eat and do whatever she wanted and spent time together ❤
Having learnt how to make some more authentic Thai recipes you have to really appreciate the delicate balance of flavours in their dishes. So easy to go a little too sour or sweet and it tastes wrong. These all look amazing, the omelette and dips appealed to me. Would love to see more!
The omelette dip is like Thai carbonara cause it is the most simple น้ำพริก or spicy dipping normally the spicy dipping need 4-5 or more spice in there but shrimp paste dipping you need only garlic and chili as spice +sweet,sour and salty thing But because it so simple it also eazy to ruin other spicy dip in Thai use roasted thing or lot of spice for smell but this you need shrimp paste and garlic you need to balance those two if garlic too much overwhelming shrimp you fuck up but if garlic is not strong enough to stop fishy smell of shrimp you also fuck up you don’t have any mint or roasted chili or onions or Chinese spice to buffering it
Thaï cuisine is such an art of simplicity and freshness. I had the chance to work with 2 wonderful thaï cook and they learned me sooooo much. There's no more generous culture than theirs !
Ooh so happy to see tamarind and glad to see it used in other cuisines. In south India we use it almost everyday. I have fond childhood memories of eating ripe tamarind pods, straight off my grandfather's tree, in the village. They have a mouth puckering sourness, yet a pleasant sweetness. Those were lovely summers long gone.
I was really looking to this episode since you teased it as a Thai fan watching this channel and the dishes that were shown are pretty great for showing more unique menu and not just typical Thai dishes there are out there in foreign countries. Thank you to the team! I especially love Cha-om omelet myself and I hope more people get to try these dishes. Also there are many moreeeeeeee dishes for you guys to try.
Me and my mum went to Rosa's near covent garden on a theatre weekend and were absolutely blown away! The food was amazing, so much better than standard 'british' Thai food that I've had other places
Lived in Thailand for 6 years, everyday I miss the variety and flavour profiles the Thai cuisine has to offer! It is really difficult to find authentic Thai food in almost every country I have visited since, I am glad you got a chance to try something which isn't commonly found in Thai restaurants outside of Thailand.
Whenever I mention having spent a lot of time in Thailand, people usually comment about how much they love Thai food. What most people don't realise is that, like other cuisines (Indian, Chinese etc), British restaurant Thai food is little to nothing like what you would have at home in Thailand and the major component that is never really translated is just how spicy the food can get. It's on another level and after a few months of being there, eating breakfast with namprik pao you can get used to it but it's not something we're used to, outside of the Friday night curry where someone tries to order the hottest thing on the menu. The sourness of a lot of food isn't usually in Thai/British cuisine either. I definitely miss sticky rice though! :D
I have to take a moment to congratulate you guys. After so many years you not only still deliver on educational quality entertainment but you improved and have grown so much that you keep it exciting and fun and new and it’s just bloody impressive. I love you guys, I have been watching since I was in my early teens, so to watch you guys now, as an adult and still be intrigued is just amazing. Chapeaux lads, chapeaux.
I don't normally like it when you have guests on the show, but this was quite enjoyable and I very much would like to see her join you for more videos like this.
What a great guest! Loved hearing her wealth of knowledge. She makes it look so approachable too; I can't wait to try making some of these things on my own.
I just wanted to say I have been watching Sorted for 7 years since I was in Thailand, and today the guest is not only an amazing Thai chef but my now boss! And still love this channel!
This episode today was wonderfully enlightening. I enjoyed learning all Chef Moore had to share. GREAT series! So many things to learn about other culture's food and drink. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Thanks for featuring Rosa's Thai. I have had the pleasure of eating there a few times and the food is fabulous any fan of Thai cuisine has to go there. Plus I finally got to see the chef in action so now I understand why it is so great she is so enthusiastic about her food.
This is so refreshing to see! As a Thai, I’ve been waiting for moment like this that people get to learn more about Thai food that is outside of what is well know in western standard. Just a little fun fact: Ya Dong come in varieties of type and what Thai people believes it would help with. (But mainly it focuses on men’s health) And the name of each varieties is super creative but so hard to Translate and get the same meaning in English 😂.
Some of the best things about visiting Thailand for me was the wonderful people and culture and of course how flavorful and amazing the food was. I would definitely watch more of these videos!
✨🇹🇭🙏🏻 I miss authentic Thai food a lot because it's delicious and well balanced with a wide variety of menu options. When you eat a variety of Thai food, you learn the culture and traditions of each region of Thailand. I love Thai food!! Thank you for your UA-cam for everyone to know.🙏🏻🇹🇭✨
This was one of my favorite episodes in recent memory! Saiphin was a pleasure to learn from! Seeing her open up on camera and seeing her passion for her cuisine was inspirational! Hope she comes back at some point.
Oh I'm so happy to see this! Usually when I see a video titled "authentic" something I expect a bad reaction when someone try something new. Thank you for being so open minded. As a Thai I really appreciate that she brought something that people don't usually see, it brings new light to our culture. I can only hope that people try more new things and enjoy real authentic parts of the world. Thank you again for making these videos and I look forward to see more educational videos like these:)
That fish intestine fermentation sparked a memory. In ancient Rome they had a sauce they used by the ton called Garum, it was fish intestines mixed with salt and fermented in amphorae. It was basically the ketchup of the day and was used by nearly everyone in the empire and in surrounding lands for a very very long time.
The honey, its a thing!! We call it " Fifth month honey" because it's Summer in Thailand still around that time. You know flowers don't bloom much in the heat of the day so, it become so rare to find honey. If you ever see the bee hive it's sure as a treat. The dry heat made the honey a lot thicker than usual and that's made it so flavorful, hearty, fragrant and so yummy. For Cha-om, they should have give them a chance to tasting an oyster + cha-om + chili paste, That is the one!!!! Ummmmm just mouth watering from thinking of it :D
Loved this one! The way the Sorted team is always keen on learning new things is one reason I love this channel. And no matter how they joke around, there is always respect for the cuisines and traditions. Was smiling ear to ear at Jamie trying to keep his reactions in after tasting the fermented fish thing.
@@SortedFood yeah they're great books and they don't waffle in the instructions which is a bugbear of mine in a lot of cookbooks, must admit I cheat and buy Mae Ploy pastes though lol (still authentic I think)
It might not be traditional for Thai but I have also definitely used tamarind in marinade and basting sauce. Remember the Monkey Gland sauce from your South African episode? It's not uncommon to find tamarind in there too. I love watching Jamie trying to keep a respectful face while sniffing the jar of fish guts 😂 I really thought that centipede whiskey was just something they sold to tourists but I can definitely see getting both Jager and cough syrup vibes from it.
Hi, as a Thai I figured I'll give some more tidbits about ingredients in the video. The tamarind is usually use for a 'more gentle/mellow' source of acid/sourness, as opposed to lime (for example) which is a more direct/strong source of acid. Like palm sugar, which is also used as a more gentle sugar than white sugar. Tamarind and palm sugar is less processed therefore retain more delicate/nuanced flavours therefore it'll taste less harsh than its refined counterparts. People also eat cha-om raw with nam prik (other vegetables are available), it's a traditional meal here. Nam prik is way too strong on its own, so you need vegetables which are full of water to compensate. Also a way to eat more vegetables, we also have a ton more varieties of nam prik. I like lons (หลน) a lot, it's a less spicy dip that has coconut milk in it, usually has seafood in it (crab or shrimp), it's what I eat with vegetables as a child when I can't handle real nam priks yet lol. I'd wager most Southern food that real Southern people eats are way too spicy/hot for the average Thais (me included). The popular menus are kua gling (คั่วกลิ้ง) and gaeng leoung (แกงเหลือง). I remembered having it at a local spot in Phuket once, they have bucketloads of sliced cucumbers to fight the heat, it failed. And many Southern people talk shit about other regions all the time that their foods are so mild or bland, their chilies ain't got nothing on Southern chilies. They're right Now, that 'moonshine' thingy. I'd never considered drinking it because the herb names sounds so sketch (in Thai). Most of the names are just some variation of 'it'll make you so horny' like 'forever-erect' (โด่ไม่รู้ล้ม), 'power of the tiger' (กำลังเสือโคร่ง), 'stomping/raging stallion' (ม้ากระทืบโรง), 'reborn elder' (ไอ้เฒ่าคืนชีพ), etc. Now, apparently it's traditional Thai medicine, and that particular arm of the Ministry of Public Health supports it in moderation (it infused 40% ABV drink after all). I'll wait for somebody else to try it before me.....
@@kayagorzan That are the mainstream recipes. In my village there are 'cobra split' (น้ำลายงูเห่า) with marinade cobra and 'Wasp nest' (รังต่อ) with the actual wasp nest in there.
I've have only read of cha-om in recipes and never seen it even though I live in the northern tropical region of australia. i learned to make thai food for my husband, because the food that we get in restaurants isn't what he actually used to eat regularly. super happy to see things like nam prik kapi and southern thai fish curry being featured here. can't wait to track down some ya dong!
loving this deep dive into southeast asian cuisine with such a passionate and experienced guest!! i love the energy she brought into the kitchen and all the stuff she picked out are all so good, i would love to see more of things like this exploring other parts of southeast asia
The “yadong” thing is very unique not every thai ppl had that, they mostly consists of herbs but their r many weird ones made in rural places too, for example the centipede she was talking about, sometimes placenta or other thing I can’t remember.
I love tamarind so much! I lived in a place with tamarind trees so we used to just climb them and eat tamarind off the branch. sweet & tangy & unique, absolutely delicious
As a Thai, I was so happy to see this episode 😆I'm sad that I didn't get to see Mike's reaction on some of these thai food. also if there ever going to be another video about thai stuff, I'd love to see Pailin from Pailin's Kitchen on here, I think she would be great for the show! funny, educational, detailed. I love her! ❤
You brought up an interesting point about fish and spice. One of my favorite dishes is a Mexican grilled whole fish with salsa. I love the contrast between the delicate fish and spicy sauce and there are many versions in Latin America.
Being Thai myself, I’m so happy to see this episode being made. Personally I love cha-om in omelettes…. Maybe because I’m from the south or the way I grew up in Thailand, I’m used to the “smell” and other “smelly” stuff that may be too pungent for people in the west
Would absolutely love to see more videos like this - bringing in chefs from other cultures and just letting them show what their native cuisine/ingredients are like!
So glad the episode turned around - I almost stopped watching after chef told Jamie “Not to use tamarind paste as a marinade” I have had it in a marinade before and it was good! Sorted is my favorite channel! Thanks boys!😊
Omg Chef Saiphin is brilliant! I have so much respect for her and admire how she explained the food very well in a way that foreigners can have a better understanding. Kang-tai-pla, cha-om, namprik-kapi are all my favs! 😋 My dad usually cooks these dishes for us and they still give me joy every single time.
The inner Thai girl in me was so excited for this episode! Thanks for spotlighting this amazing cuisine! 20:30 - My mother makes her own "Ya Dong" but she has it stored in a 5-gallon glass jar. It's super intense looking; at least the one from the episode looks like a typical glass of "Hale's Blue Boy Nam Dang". lol xD
the chef really pull out the most authentic ingredients and dishes! and that Ya-Dong is like the epitome of traditional alchohaic drinks. as a thai it's so refreshing to see!
I love this. I love how SORTED is committed to exploring cuisines by inviting experts and people of color onto the show and demonstrating their knowledge instead of other channels who may simply learn from the experts behind the scenes, but never bring the expert in front of the camera. Thank you for improving representation of diverse chefs!
This is amazing, my favourite video so far. Chef really reminds me of my mum, she’s from South Thailand and these ingredients and dishes are so close to my heart! The bottles of Thai moonshine we have at home are a lot bigger than that jar haha!
Interesting how Jamie tastes tentatively, like the item might bite him back, while Barry just shoves it right in his mouth and then carefully considers it.
Yesss!!! Thai food finally🎉❤ been watching from Thailand for a long time. Really glad to see all the authenticity of my homeland on this internation scale
Love these videos, it's always fascinating learning about other cuisines and ways to incorporate it into something you can feasibly make at home. Thai is definitely something I'm not acquainted with, so seeing it on the channel after so many years is a breath of fresh air! Unlike that fermented fish guts...😬
Thank you Chef Saiphin for bringing SUPER authentic ingredients and unique dishes to the show! As a Thai I eat Cha-om omelette quite often, go great with namprik-kapi. For Kaen Tai-Pla and Ya-dong only sometimes as they are quite strong (even for Thais lol).
As a Thai, I love fried eggs with climbing wattle or acacia pennata omelet (I really have no idea which name is most commonly referred to in English) served with shrimp paste dip. I've never added shallots to the omelet, only pennata. I remember seeing a large jar of Thai moonshine with a huge centipede inside when I was a kid. It's creepy.
I love these episodes where you bring someone in that's a native from the country and they show things a majority of us never heard of. I learnt so much this episode. Never knew the tamarind fruit looked like that.
I live in a Sydney suburb called Newtown & we have literally 37 Thai restaurants in the suburb It’s fun watching the boys discover proper Thai ingredients
Hi guys! With the World Cup coming up, it’d be super cool to see some footballing food that can be cooked around watching a game, so something that could be prepped before and then cooked in half time, or that takes 45-ish minutes to cook to be put in before the match starts! Maybe a battle?

Thats very interesting...also, the idea of putting animals into alcohol seems really widespread. After all, what else is mexican Mezcal...the worm is the best bit 😁
I'm loving these deep dives into different food cultures! It would be very helpful if you would show us the names on screen of the different ingredients & dishes.
hopefully with a romanised version and the local text (chinese, thai, japanese, korean, etc)
You can turn on subtitles to see the names, at least in the case of this particular video!
I love Saiphin's energy, she's like the slightly chaotic, chefy auntie, that will feed you all the stuff your parents won't let you have 😂😂
Exactly!
As a Thai and having family from the south of Thailand, I’m so happy to see our local food being shown as most people only know about popular dishes like pad Thai etc. each region has their own flavour and unique taste/textures.
Saiphin Moore is like a warm hug. Her explanations where wonderful and every dish looked amazing.
Been a fan for more than 10 years. As a Thai fan that grew up loving your contents, I'm so proud that you open to a world of local Thai cuisine, especially down south from my hometown. Quick tip, the omelet and the curry are super combo when serve hot with cooked jasmine rice.
Very good! I’m Thai and I live in south of Thailand! I’m so proud of my local food to be presented in this show! Thank you for spreading my Thai local southern food 👍🏼👍🏼
Fantastic! Are these dishes very authentic then?
@@lefrash Yes they are! Especially the fish gut curry. It’s really really authentic local southern Thai food! 🇹🇭😁
@Noob7Zilla yesssssss , I am sorry for all of them because cha Om omelette and gang tai pla need to be eaten with rice no matter what.
I absolutely LOVE how you guys are so good at being respectful while still having fun. Yall celebrate culture in all of its forms even if its way out of your own comfort zone.
Big love for Thailand 🇹🇭
I've lived here for over ten years. Thai people can be very particular about how you eat certain things and this comes through on the video .😅🙏❤️🇹🇭
She brought super authentic local ingredients to the show today 👏
I totally agree 🎉😂Thank you
YES! It's interesting the question they ask you is "Do you know how to eat (blank)? " Kin Pen Mai? They don't only mean if you can eat something, they mean do you know HOW to eat it.
I just want to say a quick thank you for uploading your videos. Today is a very hard day for me because it’s my moms birthday but she’s in the hospital, where she was told they are going to stop giving her chemo treatments because there’s “no more hope” for her… your videos always make me smile even when I feel like my world is falling apart so thank you
We're so, so sorry to hear this. Sending you lots of love from the whole team x
❤️😊
i know that i’m not the intended recipient for this message, but i just wanted to say that i am so sorry to hear about your mom. i don’t know if you’re religious or not, but these kinds of experiences tend to make us all question what we know. please hang in there. enjoy all of the time you have left with your mom and know that there is a solution to all of the problems that we face today
I appreciate you guys ❤️
I'm so sorry to hear this. My husband and I have just been through this situation so I can imagine how you might be feeling. Sending love and peace to you and your family. What we did was to make Mom happy... we let her eat and do whatever she wanted and spent time together ❤
Having learnt how to make some more authentic Thai recipes you have to really appreciate the delicate balance of flavours in their dishes. So easy to go a little too sour or sweet and it tastes wrong. These all look amazing, the omelette and dips appealed to me. Would love to see more!
The omelette dip is like Thai carbonara
cause it is the most simple น้ำพริก or spicy dipping
normally the spicy dipping need 4-5 or more spice in there
but shrimp paste dipping you need only garlic and chili as spice
+sweet,sour and salty thing
But because it so simple it also eazy to ruin
other spicy dip in Thai use roasted thing or lot of spice for smell
but this you need shrimp paste and garlic you need to balance those two
if garlic too much overwhelming shrimp you fuck up but if garlic is not
strong enough to stop fishy smell of shrimp you also fuck up
you don’t have any mint or roasted chili or onions or Chinese spice to buffering it
Thaï cuisine is such an art of simplicity and freshness. I had the chance to work with 2 wonderful thaï cook and they learned me sooooo much. There's no more generous culture than theirs !
Thanks for inviting Chef Saiphin Moore. This was an interesting and enlightening experience.
Ooh so happy to see tamarind and glad to see it used in other cuisines. In south India we use it almost everyday. I have fond childhood memories of eating ripe tamarind pods, straight off my grandfather's tree, in the village. They have a mouth puckering sourness, yet a pleasant sweetness. Those were lovely summers long gone.
There is a nice tamarind drink you can buy in America that is tamarind flavored. One of my favorites.
One of the best guests to date. Loved chef's Saiphin's insights and humor. Hope to see her again on the show!
I was really looking to this episode since you teased it as a Thai fan watching this channel and the dishes that were shown are pretty great for showing more unique menu and not just typical Thai dishes there are out there in foreign countries. Thank you to the team! I especially love Cha-om omelet myself and I hope more people get to try these dishes. Also there are many moreeeeeeee dishes for you guys to try.
Me and my mum went to Rosa's near covent garden on a theatre weekend and were absolutely blown away! The food was amazing, so much better than standard 'british' Thai food that I've had other places
more of this chef please. would love to see her do some recipes of authentic thai food on the channel
Lived in Thailand for 6 years, everyday I miss the variety and flavour profiles the Thai cuisine has to offer! It is really difficult to find authentic Thai food in almost every country I have visited since, I am glad you got a chance to try something which isn't commonly found in Thai restaurants outside of Thailand.
Whenever I mention having spent a lot of time in Thailand, people usually comment about how much they love Thai food. What most people don't realise is that, like other cuisines (Indian, Chinese etc), British restaurant Thai food is little to nothing like what you would have at home in Thailand and the major component that is never really translated is just how spicy the food can get. It's on another level and after a few months of being there, eating breakfast with namprik pao you can get used to it but it's not something we're used to, outside of the Friday night curry where someone tries to order the hottest thing on the menu. The sourness of a lot of food isn't usually in Thai/British cuisine either. I definitely miss sticky rice though! :D
I have to take a moment to congratulate you guys. After so many years you not only still deliver on educational quality entertainment but you improved and have grown so much that you keep it exciting and fun and new and it’s just bloody impressive. I love you guys, I have been watching since I was in my early teens, so to watch you guys now, as an adult and still be intrigued is just amazing. Chapeaux lads, chapeaux.
Such a fun and flavoursome day at work!!! Getting to cook with Chef S from Rosa's and taste her home made curry paste was great!!
Oh my gosh, it's Kush!! Thank you for all the awesome work you do for to make Sorted what it is 👏
I don't normally like it when you have guests on the show, but this was quite enjoyable and I very much would like to see her join you for more videos like this.
I love videos where they try new things with an expert there. They provide so much new knowledge and another layer to the video.
We're glad you liked it and thanks for watching :)
What a great guest! Loved hearing her wealth of knowledge. She makes it look so approachable too; I can't wait to try making some of these things on my own.
I just wanted to say I have been watching Sorted for 7 years since I was in Thailand, and today the guest is not only an amazing Thai chef but my now boss! And still love this channel!
This episode today was wonderfully enlightening. I enjoyed learning all Chef Moore had to share. GREAT series! So many things to learn about other culture's food and drink. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Thanks for featuring Rosa's Thai. I have had the pleasure of eating there a few times and the food is fabulous any fan of Thai cuisine has to go there. Plus I finally got to see the chef in action so now I understand why it is so great she is so enthusiastic about her food.
This is so refreshing to see! As a Thai, I’ve been waiting for moment like this that people get to learn more about Thai food that is outside of what is well know in western standard.
Just a little fun fact: Ya Dong come in varieties of type and what Thai people believes it would help with. (But mainly it focuses on men’s health) And the name of each varieties is super creative but so hard to Translate and get the same meaning in English 😂.
Some of the best things about visiting Thailand for me was the wonderful people and culture and of course how flavorful and amazing the food was. I would definitely watch more of these videos!
✨🇹🇭🙏🏻 I miss authentic Thai food a lot because it's delicious and well balanced with a wide variety of menu options.
When you eat a variety of Thai food, you learn the culture and traditions of each region of Thailand.
I love Thai food!! Thank you for your UA-cam for everyone to know.🙏🏻🇹🇭✨
This was one of my favorite episodes in recent memory! Saiphin was a pleasure to learn from! Seeing her open up on camera and seeing her passion for her cuisine was inspirational! Hope she comes back at some point.
I love your shows bringing in world cuisines with guests from those areas showcasing their cooking. It's wonderfully mind expanding.
Oh I'm so happy to see this!
Usually when I see a video titled "authentic" something I expect a bad reaction when someone try something new. Thank you for being so open minded.
As a Thai I really appreciate that she brought something that people don't usually see, it brings new light to our culture. I can only hope that people try more new things and enjoy real authentic parts of the world.
Thank you again for making these videos and I look forward to see more educational videos like these:)
That fish intestine fermentation sparked a memory. In ancient Rome they had a sauce they used by the ton called Garum, it was fish intestines mixed with salt and fermented in amphorae. It was basically the ketchup of the day and was used by nearly everyone in the empire and in surrounding lands for a very very long time.
It basically same technique as well, it seem to spawn out of each other culture because they both being near sea/water
Thank you for bringing on someone from the actual food culture!! More of this please.
This was marvelous. Please bring Saiphin Moore back again, I would love to see her share more with the Sorted guys :)
This was so good! I loved that Saiphin just started making the chilli dip unprompted 😂 Would love to see more guests like her on the channel 😊
The honey, its a thing!! We call it " Fifth month honey" because it's Summer in Thailand still around that time.
You know flowers don't bloom much in the heat of the day so, it become so rare to find honey. If you ever see the bee hive it's sure as a treat. The dry heat made the honey a lot thicker than usual and that's made it so flavorful, hearty, fragrant and so yummy.
For Cha-om, they should have give them a chance to tasting an oyster + cha-om + chili paste, That is the one!!!! Ummmmm just mouth watering from thinking of it :D
For oyster, it's always with Yod-kra-tin (young Horse tamarind leaves) for me!!
Loved this one! The way the Sorted team is always keen on learning new things is one reason I love this channel. And no matter how they joke around, there is always respect for the cuisines and traditions.
Was smiling ear to ear at Jamie trying to keep his reactions in after tasting the fermented fish thing.
Got both Saiphin's Rosa's thai cookbooks (carnivore and veggie) and use them all the time so nice surprise
That's awesome to hear, Saiphin is an incredible chef!
@@SortedFood yeah they're great books and they don't waffle in the instructions which is a bugbear of mine in a lot of cookbooks, must admit I cheat and buy Mae Ploy pastes though lol (still authentic I think)
Petition to get a regular section with Chef Saiphin! She's got great energy.
It might not be traditional for Thai but I have also definitely used tamarind in marinade and basting sauce. Remember the Monkey Gland sauce from your South African episode? It's not uncommon to find tamarind in there too.
I love watching Jamie trying to keep a respectful face while sniffing the jar of fish guts 😂
I really thought that centipede whiskey was just something they sold to tourists but I can definitely see getting both Jager and cough syrup vibes from it.
I have loved Rosa's Thai Cafe and gone there for years, what an amazing video to get to see & learn from the founder!
I love how Sorted has been so dedicated to sharing the authentic cuisines of diverse cultures this year. Way to use your platform well 🎉
Hi, as a Thai I figured I'll give some more tidbits about ingredients in the video. The tamarind is usually use for a 'more gentle/mellow' source of acid/sourness, as opposed to lime (for example) which is a more direct/strong source of acid. Like palm sugar, which is also used as a more gentle sugar than white sugar. Tamarind and palm sugar is less processed therefore retain more delicate/nuanced flavours therefore it'll taste less harsh than its refined counterparts.
People also eat cha-om raw with nam prik (other vegetables are available), it's a traditional meal here. Nam prik is way too strong on its own, so you need vegetables which are full of water to compensate. Also a way to eat more vegetables, we also have a ton more varieties of nam prik. I like lons (หลน) a lot, it's a less spicy dip that has coconut milk in it, usually has seafood in it (crab or shrimp), it's what I eat with vegetables as a child when I can't handle real nam priks yet lol.
I'd wager most Southern food that real Southern people eats are way too spicy/hot for the average Thais (me included). The popular menus are kua gling (คั่วกลิ้ง) and gaeng leoung (แกงเหลือง). I remembered having it at a local spot in Phuket once, they have bucketloads of sliced cucumbers to fight the heat, it failed. And many Southern people talk shit about other regions all the time that their foods are so mild or bland, their chilies ain't got nothing on Southern chilies. They're right
Now, that 'moonshine' thingy. I'd never considered drinking it because the herb names sounds so sketch (in Thai). Most of the names are just some variation of 'it'll make you so horny' like 'forever-erect' (โด่ไม่รู้ล้ม), 'power of the tiger' (กำลังเสือโคร่ง), 'stomping/raging stallion' (ม้ากระทืบโรง), 'reborn elder' (ไอ้เฒ่าคืนชีพ), etc. Now, apparently it's traditional Thai medicine, and that particular arm of the Ministry of Public Health supports it in moderation (it infused 40% ABV drink after all). I'll wait for somebody else to try it before me.....
This is amazing... Thanks for sharing!
👍👍👍
thank you :)
Love the moonshine’s names
@@kayagorzan That are the mainstream recipes. In my village there are 'cobra split' (น้ำลายงูเห่า) with marinade cobra and 'Wasp nest' (รังต่อ) with the actual wasp nest in there.
I've have only read of cha-om in recipes and never seen it even though I live in the northern tropical region of australia. i learned to make thai food for my husband, because the food that we get in restaurants isn't what he actually used to eat regularly. super happy to see things like nam prik kapi and southern thai fish curry being featured here. can't wait to track down some ya dong!
Cha-om is on the Qld Govt environmental weeds list so it must be around.
loving this deep dive into southeast asian cuisine with such a passionate and experienced guest!! i love the energy she brought into the kitchen and all the stuff she picked out are all so good, i would love to see more of things like this exploring other parts of southeast asia
An awesome, knowledgeable guest with a great sense of humour. Fascinating too!
I suddenly fancy Thai food.
The “yadong” thing is very unique not every thai ppl had that, they mostly consists of herbs but their r many weird ones made in rural places too, for example the centipede she was talking about, sometimes placenta or other thing I can’t remember.
I love tamarind so much! I lived in a place with tamarind trees so we used to just climb them and eat tamarind off the branch. sweet & tangy & unique, absolutely delicious
That's amazing!
Far and away one of the best videos and guests in a long long long time. Keep this up!
As a Thai, I was so happy to see this episode 😆I'm sad that I didn't get to see Mike's reaction on some of these thai food. also if there ever going to be another video about thai stuff, I'd love to see Pailin from Pailin's Kitchen on here, I think she would be great for the show! funny, educational, detailed. I love her! ❤
Thanks!
No, thank you!
My goodness Saiphin was adorable and I would love to see a part 2 for this!
You brought up an interesting point about fish and spice. One of my favorite dishes is a Mexican grilled whole fish with salsa. I love the contrast between the delicate fish and spicy sauce and there are many versions in Latin America.
didn't ask
Being Thai myself, I’m so happy to see this episode being made. Personally I love cha-om in omelettes…. Maybe because I’m from the south or the way I grew up in Thailand, I’m used to the “smell” and other “smelly” stuff that may be too pungent for people in the west
Aroy sud sud loey cha om kai
Would absolutely love to see more videos like this - bringing in chefs from other cultures and just letting them show what their native cuisine/ingredients are like!
This woman is a gem! Bring her back more!
So glad the episode turned around - I almost stopped watching after chef told Jamie “Not to use tamarind paste as a marinade” I have had it in a marinade before and it was good! Sorted is my favorite channel! Thanks boys!😊
Rosa's Thai is incredible!
100%
Omg Chef Saiphin is brilliant! I have so much respect for her and admire how she explained the food very well in a way that foreigners can have a better understanding. Kang-tai-pla, cha-om, namprik-kapi are all my favs! 😋 My dad usually cooks these dishes for us and they still give me joy every single time.
The inner Thai girl in me was so excited for this episode! Thanks for spotlighting this amazing cuisine!
20:30 - My mother makes her own "Ya Dong" but she has it stored in a 5-gallon glass jar. It's super intense looking; at least the one from the episode looks like a typical glass of "Hale's Blue Boy Nam Dang". lol xD
the chef really pull out the most authentic ingredients and dishes! and that Ya-Dong is like the epitome of traditional alchohaic drinks. as a thai it's so refreshing to see!
Happy Sunday to SortedFood HQ and the Community! So happy to see Thai Food. Definitely sending to people I know.
Rosa is lovely, I love the traditions she shared. I can't wait to visit either her restaurant or her country and try some of it myself!
I love this. I love how SORTED is committed to exploring cuisines by inviting experts and people of color onto the show and demonstrating their knowledge instead of other channels who may simply learn from the experts behind the scenes, but never bring the expert in front of the camera. Thank you for improving representation of diverse chefs!
This is amazing, my favourite video so far. Chef really reminds me of my mum, she’s from South Thailand and these ingredients and dishes are so close to my heart! The bottles of Thai moonshine we have at home are a lot bigger than that jar haha!
Interesting how Jamie tastes tentatively, like the item might bite him back, while Barry just shoves it right in his mouth and then carefully considers it.
but when sniffing something jamie has to practically shove the product up his nose. no timidness there
Yesss!!! Thai food finally🎉❤ been watching from Thailand for a long time. Really glad to see all the authenticity of my homeland on this internation scale
Love these videos, it's always fascinating learning about other cuisines and ways to incorporate it into something you can feasibly make at home.
Thai is definitely something I'm not acquainted with, so seeing it on the channel after so many years is a breath of fresh air!
Unlike that fermented fish guts...😬
Thank you Chef Saiphin for bringing SUPER authentic ingredients and unique dishes to the show! As a Thai I eat Cha-om omelette quite often, go great with namprik-kapi. For Kaen Tai-Pla and Ya-dong only sometimes as they are quite strong (even for Thais lol).
As a Thai, I love fried eggs with climbing wattle or acacia pennata omelet (I really have no idea which name is most commonly referred to in English) served with shrimp paste dip. I've never added shallots to the omelet, only pennata.
I remember seeing a large jar of Thai moonshine with a huge centipede inside when I was a kid. It's creepy.
I love these episodes where you bring someone in that's a native from the country and they show things a majority of us never heard of. I learnt so much this episode. Never knew the tamarind fruit looked like that.
I live in a Sydney suburb called Newtown & we have literally 37 Thai restaurants in the suburb
It’s fun watching the boys discover proper Thai ingredients
I'm from Thailand, and I'm glad you guys show more of Thai's most unique and traditional food/culture compared to other channels. I love it! 9:11 😂😂
Saiphin was really really nice! Please have her more on the show :)
Loving these videos with expert chef's. Went to Rosa's Thai cafe a few times in London and I was always impressed!
Hi guys! With the World Cup coming up, it’d be super cool to see some footballing food that can be cooked around watching a game, so something that could be prepped before and then cooked in half time, or that takes 45-ish minutes to cook to be put in before the match starts! Maybe a battle?
Saiphin is awesome! I love thai food! xx The Romans used to make Garum fish sauce in England called liquamen.
I love that you guys are bringing people to make authentic foods! I would love to see this segment more often
