They say that in Thailand there is a different pad thai recipe for every cook.
In Thailand, new woks are traditionally seasoned with pork fat.
The earliest woks were made of clay and dat to the Hans [sic] Dynasty (206BC – 220AD).
The Thai food philosophy can be summed up in two words: arroy meaning "delicious" and sanuk meaning "fun."
Alton Brown: Now, if you're thinking this might have a pungent aroma… (sniffs fish sauce and makes a face) …by golly, you'd be right! Luckily the fragrance… (grimaces) …mellows a little bit when cooked.
Alton Brown: "...big ol' jet airliner..." Alton's cadence and works are taken from the Steve Miller Band song "Jet Airliner".
