00:00When talking about Thai food, pad thai likely pops up.

00:03The fame of pad thai is so widespread that even the celebrity chef like Gordon Ramsay

00:08had a go at making it.

00:10How is it?

00:11Hmm?

00:12This is not pad thai at all.

00:13But what really makes pad thai truly authentic?

00:16Today I'm taking you to Mae Tum Pad Thai Kheng, a legendary spot near the Giant's

00:21Wing in Bangkok where you'll get the real deal.

00:23Wow, look at this pad thai.

00:26The perfect pad thai for me is that it needs to have the tamarind sauce that coats the

00:30noodle just right.

00:32And the sauce is key.

00:33It needs to offer the balance of flavor, sweet, sour, salty, and a little bit of spiciness.

00:41Pad thai is basically a stir-fry dish that uses flat rice noodles sautéed with shallots,

00:46tofu, bean sprouts, chives, egg, and dried shrimp.

00:49Season with tamarind sauce, then top with roasted peanuts.

00:52Before you enjoy this pad thai, don't forget to squeeze some lime on top and mix it together.

00:57Then enjoy!
