Pad Thai
RECIPE COURTESY OF JET TILA
Level: Intermediate
Total: 1 hr (includes soaking of rice stick noodles)
Active: 20 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
Pad Thai Sauce:
4 tablespoons (60 ml) Thai fish sauce
4 tablespoons (50 g) sugar
3 tablespoons (45 ml) bottled tamarind paste
1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice wine vinegar (unseasoned)
1 tablespoon sweet paprika, for color (optional)
2 teaspoons chili sauce, such as Sriracha
Pad Thai:
3 to 4 cups medium-width rice sticks, soaked
Banana leaf, cut into circles, for plating (optional)
2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil, such as canola, grapeseed, or peanut oil
3 to 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/2 cup (95 g) Thai-style baked tofu, sliced
1 teaspoon dried shrimp
1/2 cup (95 g) chicken, cut into thin strips, 1-inch lengths
2 eggs
4 teaspoons packaged salted turnip, minced
8 shrimp, peeled and cleaned
1 cup (240 g) bean sprouts
1/4 cup (50 g) dry-roasted unsalted peanuts, crushed
3 to 4 garlic chives (or scallions), cut into 2-inch bias strips
1 lime, cut for garnish
Directions
For the Pad Thai Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the fish sauce, sugar, tamarind paste, lime juice, vinegar, paprika and chili sauce. Set aside.
For the Pad Thai: Soak the noodles in enough warm water to cover for 1 hour.
If using, cut the banana leaf into round shapes using an overturned bowl. Place on the serving platter and hold for plating.
Heat a cast iron pan over high heat. Add the oil and coat the pan completely. When the pan starts to smoke, add the garlic and stir for 5 seconds. Add the tofu and dried shrimp and stir-fry until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until no longer pink, 1 to 2 minutes.
Push ingredients in the pan to one side and let the oil settle in the center of pan. Crack the eggs into the pan. Allow to set until half-cooked, about 30 seconds, then lightly scramble. Combine with the remaining cooked ingredients in pan, scraping the bits from the pan before they burn. Add 3 cups of the drained noodles and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the salted turnip and shrimp. Cook until both the chicken and shrimp are medium doneness, about 1 minute. Add the sauce mixture and fold together until all the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
Place half of the bean sprouts, half of the crushed peanuts and the garlic chives (or green onions) in the center of noodles, and then spoon some noodles over them to cover and let steam for 30 seconds. If the pan seems dry, add a small amount of the noodle soaking water. Transfer to a serving plate with the banana leaf circle, and garnish with the remaining bean sprouts, peanuts and lime.

I’m so sad. I grew up going to Bangkok Market all the time since I was 12 years old. I wish this market was still around. I got really sad when I saw it got taken down.
Ummm……no
Tofu is for the birds. Otherwise, this was delightful. More people need to try food like this…yum.
Sad to see this recipe but I'll give it a go
Delicious
I'm not Thai but can definitely say that traditionally Pad Thai isn't made with Sriracha, a delicious condiment whereas created in the US quite recently.
Tamarindo ,it grows in Colombia South America
Jet Tila nguyen
So this is US version of Pad Thai not it's not the same we eat in Thailand.
hate to break it to you "jet" but there's no such thing as rice wine vinegar
This "recipe" is just ridiculous. It has hardly anything to do with the real Phad Thai. It's just disgustingly americanized and westernized. This guy can't even use a wok. What a fiasco…
Watching from City of the Desert 🌴 Palm Springs, Ca LoVe your show Jet I can't resist to explore more of your yummy 😋 recipes & easy to follow the steps .
He’s so hot
You should simmer the sauce to reduce the smell of tamarind and fish sauce.
Bullshit.
Modern! Hao Moderna!
Jet I have spent hundreds of hours watching and learning from you. Thank you for your generosity.
The truth is I hate the old long dead cooks in my family. They shoo us out the kitchen not willing to impart their secret for certain dishes and carry it to their graves. In malice , I would compare techniques just to see the dismay on their faces " so and so do it different and it taste better" . With the rise of YT worldwide, the mysteries of cooking is now available to every home. Cooking is very personal to ones' taste buds and creativity. So a dish is an adventure and a surprise everytime. There are no narrow minded established rules. I rebel when it is imposed on me. Cook your own then and you're not welcome to my food.
That's my fav ❤
jet tila? wtf
Omg love his recipes
Asian food is the best in the world 😍
Interesting. A bit different than how hey did it on Pop Sugar which is how I've been doing it for years.
Pollo 🐓 crudo no
Yeah looking good Thanks
I love this simple making pad Thai
Thanks for sharing
This looks delicious 😋 the only thing I didn’t see in the video is the information regarding what noodles to use? Are they Thai noodles? What is the brand of the noodles that you used?
I'm going to try to make this tonight and I'm scared lollll
his mom was like "son ! take your stuffs and leave me alone😅"
Chef Jet Tilakamonku WTF. Eggs it the last thing that go into the dish. The eggs should be wrappings around the noodles. You AMERICANIZE this dish. SO SAD 😞
Lmao I watched it too late , and couldn’t go get another batch of rice noodles 😅 I left them boiled still taste & feel nice 😊😅
Omgggg I go to this grocery store I never knew it was your family‘s 😭
