      To be fair, she probably had some third party guide find a few vendors in an area they are familiar with who said they don’t care if they are on British tv for whatever fee and she likely spent 20 minutes doing the coconut grinding and the rest looking over the shoulder and being pretty lost since an interpreter had to go between her and the locals and locals are generally pretty short-worded when a third party is explaining because otherwise they’ll have to spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to get across really basic info she could just, yknow, get from a Thai chef who also happened to go to culinary school or who is fluent in English and golly I bet there might be one if only one in Europe lol. “Watch me act like a cook in this _____,” the series… can you blame the locals for not wanting to carry out complicated long talks with interpreters? Can’t learn a lot if you aren’t even going with someone who can build rapport for you who already has good rapport with you. She was seen as a cute white tourist who wants to see how they cook there because she likes cooking, too, golly gee exciting… I would bet money on that applying to most street vendors/hustling workers making ends meet (which is most of who they go to for this “authentic” experience are) from growing up around Thai families with as much time with them as my own, I got that “cute pale one” treatment til I proved my proficiency WITHOUT being babied by them/coddled/hands held along the way, just not how time-crunched people manage.

      Some dishes don't need extra salt. If she'd actually used the shrimp paste and fish sauce she was supposed to, those both would probably supply enough salt that she wouldn't really need to add any more. Of course she failed to do that too.

It’s like she’s not trying to emulate the traditional method she learned, and instead touting the trip as a shield from criticism, while completely riffing, and then complaining about not liking the dish. If you don’t like the dish, but you want to make some traditional Thai cuisine, learn to make a different one that fits your palate better. It doesn’t feel that difficult, and you don’t sound rude for taking your lessons, and then completely ignoring them while pretending you’re following it to the letter.

      She went there and filmed everything. Problem is she didn't watch it back to figure out what was exactly done, how it was exactly done and perhaps why it's done. She immediately just basically did it from memory or some online while people's recipe for it instead of actually making it the proper way first. She can add less peppers if it's really too spicy, but she practically removed all spicy peppers.

    Never ever heard of using spinach to make Thai green curry paste 🤣 As a Thai who cook the green curry from time to time when being abroad, green cayenne peppers (or green chilli peppers) can be good substitutes for green bird eye chillis. For galangal, if you can't find it in the market near you, I recommend not to add it instead of using horse radishes as an alternative. For kaffir lime zest (or peel), you can use kiffir lime leaves as a substitute by finely chopping them and added into the curry paste. But if kaffir lime, both leaves and fruits, is difficult to find all together, lemon zest can be a suffcient substitute and some people like it better as well since it's not giving off bitter taste as much as the kaffir limes.

      @SeanNova14 4 місяці тому +1

      @@thomasmckenney3518 Let me explain a little bit. In the traditional dish, we use kaffir lime zest because of its thick peel/skin and when we made it into zest, it won't give a bitter taste to the dish (the white part of the skin didn't get scraped). On the other hand, key lime peel/skin (we also have key lime in Thailand) is very thin, so the zest will leave a bitter taste to the dish.
      To answer your question, key lime wouldn't be a good substitute. If there is any type of lime with thick skin like lemon in your area, you can use that.

      And that’s what they could’ve done, but it doesn’t even feel like they just didn’t have the ingredients, it just feels like they didn’t try, cause it doesn’t take a genius to not mistake common green curry ingredients for spinach or eggplant. Then again, that’s just me, I could be wrong, but I just don’t have faith in British chefs on TV trying to make dishes from places like Thailand, especially when they’re touting “oh yeah, I learned from a local”, then instead of focusing on the chef they learned from, it’s focused primarily on themselves.

    Green curry in my understanding
    แกงเขียวหวาน(pastel green curry)
    1. Put coconut milk in low heat.
    - Originally we use concentrate coconut milk called in Thai "head coconut milk".In this process, we heat it until it "break". Breaking means oil and cream in coconut milk are separated so you can see coconut oil in your pan. Note: "just low heat" you don't want burned coconut milk.
    - For pasturized coconut milk you need more time to heat it. You can put your coconut milk in a tall container for an hour and use the top of it because the oil tend to float on the top.
    - In this step you can prep the chilli paste, it's not wrong because it need long time for coconut milk to break especially pasturized*.But try to stir coconut milk regulary to prevent burning.
    2. Chilli paste: Lemongrass, big green chilli papper(This is not so spicy, giving you flavor, color and paste matter), green bird eyes chilly(f*king spicy with great flavor, use in limited amount), Thai garlic(it's actually might be SEA garlic, small garlic with stronger flavor), challot, galangal, kaffir lime peel, toasted cumin powder, toasted corander seeds powder, white pepper, shrimp paste. Slice everything in small pieces. You can mix Thai basil or chilli leave a little bit for greener color. I think any grren leave which doesn't give wrong flavor to the curry are all OK.
    Actually using motar or food prcessor are not different in flavor (someone had researched it with gas chormatographer) but in texture.
    - Using motar, you should start with things harder to grind.
    - Using food processor, put every thing in the processor and coconut milk with half amount of ingredients, then start the processor.
    - Or buy it.
    3. Put your chilli paste in the breaked coconut milk. Put some palm or coconut sugar to reduce hurb's bitterness. Heat it untill the coconut oil turn green whic mean your paste is cooked. You can put some kaffir lime leave now.
    4. Put the meet in, cook it.
    5. Put the light coconut milk called "tail coconut milk" or pasturized coconut milk mixed with water 1:1. For sticky meets like beef, we cook it with tail coconut + salt for hour(s) before put it in the chilly paste.
    6. Season by limited amount of fish sauce when the curry is boiling only so it won't be fishy. If not salty enough, use salt because you want to limit fish sauce flavor.
    7. Put your vegetables in, we usually use eggplants.
    8. When everything are cooked ,stop heating and finish with sliced big red or yellow chilli papper and Thai basil.

      For pasteurized cocomilk, you can add a bit of vinegar while boiling - to accelerate the oil layer separation - as boxed cocomilk has stabilizer added, which made oil and water mixed well, hence ready to be pour out, despite it being on the shelf for quite some time (prevent the solids to harden and stick on the bottom of the packaging)
      The vinegar acid, unlike citrus fruit's, will denature and neutralize in the boiling heat, so it won't effect the taste of your food.

      Well, I've actually seen thai chefs mention that you can add some green leaved vegetables to get the curry a bit greener. It gets most of the color from the green chilis, but if you don't want it to spicy, the curry will be very pale. So that's when they suggest to add something green. Spinach gives of a lot of color and is pretty neutral tasting.

    Lol You had me cracking up, especially when they put spinach in and you said they may as well throw in a grasshopper.
    It was so obvious they had no idea what they were talking about.

    Uncle Roger.
    I have been using MSG on my food for years. But thank you SO MUCH for spreading the word. My father got stationed in Korea, and came back complaining that the Asian restaurants in America taste like they boiled everything after cooking it. Our family friend was half-Japanese, and explained the American fear of flavor and lack of 'Make Shit Good' in our food.
    I keep MSG on the shelf at all times.
    Even my Top Ramen tastes incredible. :D

    10:55 Stirring would encourage evaporation of the water in the curry, making the flavor more concentrated and flavorful, so she’s just wrong about that

    i'm just imagining someone inviting me to dinner and saying "oh i made green curry, and i made the paste from scratch!", feeling so pumped for a delicious dish, and then being served that uh coconut soup.

    I can see it before me how the Thai auntie used a South-East-Asian leaf vegetable to make a less spicy version with colour for the western visitor and then was asked how to supplement it because a lot of those leaf veggies are difficult to obtain elsewhere, hence the tip with "anything that leaves a green mark when you grind it down". Thai auntie didn't anticipate what kind of leafy greens would be used.

    Thai basil is an acceptable addition to green curry paste if you don't use many chilies, which is probably what the Thai auntie used-definitely not spinach.

      We use chili leaves for extra beautiful green color in Thai Green Curry. But yeah in case you can’t find chili leaves, you can use Thai basil to substitute.

    1:33 to 1:34 Showing them laugh slowly in a demonic sound was the funniest shit I've seen in ages. I laughed so hard I woke up my wife three rooms away...showed it to her and she was less pissed because it was funny as hell.
