  • I've eaten pad Thai in Britain and Bangladesh,

  • but I couldn't be more excited about tasting one in the country

  • that created it.

  • I'm going with a local called Ping to a place known as the Brass Wok,

  • where Pad Thai is the only thing on the menu.

  • It's run by husband and wife team Narong and Narisara.

  • How long have you been making pad Thai for?

  • THEY SPEAK OWN LANGUAGE

  • 22 years. 22 years?

  • What makes your pad Thai so good?

  • These guys serve up a couple of hundred pad Thais every lunchtime.

  • It's like the ultimate fast food.

  • We've got oil and then noodles straight in!

  • Cook it in there?

  • Interesting.

  • Into the wok, Narong's adding shrimp and tofu, then a couple

  • of unexpected ingredients -

  • pickled turnip -

  • I'm guessing that's salty - and something sweet.

  • An egg is cooked alongside and the dish is done.

  • Here they serve their pad Thai with bean sprouts,

  • peanuts, spring onions and a banana flour.

  • Wow, you made that so quickly and it looks beautiful.

  • I love it with all the bits on the side.

  • That is delicious.

  • It's the most real pad Thai I've ever had.

  • It's much sweeter than I was expecting.

  • Can I use your big wok to make you a pad Thai?

  • Maybe cook it and give it to your workers as well,

  • see what they think?

  • You take the afternoon off?

  • THEY LAUGH

  • now I need some fresh ingredients

  • for my pad Thai, which means a visit to Chanthaburi's amazing market.

  • There's literally nothing you can't find here!

  • There's so much!

  • We need some beansprouts. Yeah.

  • Over here.

  • Here? Yeah. One kilo. OK.

  • Yeah, let's do that.

  • I find it impossible not to mess with a classic recipe,

  • and I want to surprise Narong and Narisara.

  • I want to put something interesting in my pad Thai.

  • Something like shrimp? Squid! That's it. Yeah.

  • I'm going to put some squid in it.

  • Can I have half a kilo?

  • I'm feeling the pressure a little bit now.

  • You'll be fine. You'll be fine.

  • I hope so. Cooking for a pair of pad Thai purists is pretty daunting.

  • Oh, here comes trouble.

  • 20-odd years of experience and I'm making a pad Thai on their wok.

  • Oh, dear God.

  • I'm going to stick...

  • ..my onions and my shallots, and my chilies.

  • I'm going old school with my pad Thai sauce,

  • which means tamarind, fish sauce and soy.

  • Then I'm going to add - which is slightly unconventional -

  • some turmeric. I wonder what they think of that.

  • And some lime juice.

  • Turmeric will deepen the flavour and lime

  • will add a slightly sour note.

  • Would you mind crushing up some cashews in there for me, please?

  • I've got to find a way of distracting him now.

  • If you could just chop up, just rip up some celery leaves

  • for me. Thank you.

  • Hurry up now, while they're not watching. Right.

  • Then I'm going to add my squid.

  • The best thing about a pad Thai is it all happens so fast.

  • I've got my special pad Thai noodles,

  • if I can untangle them.

  • I'm going to add my sauce. It's just tamarind paste,

  • fish sauce and soy mixed together.

  • Oh.

  • SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

  • No egg.

  • I'm not putting egg.

  • As well as beansprouts, in yet another break in convention,

  • I'm serving cashew nuts, chilli and celery leaves

  • on the side.

  • Well, if the history is slightly ropey, you don't really know

  • where it's from, which means, to me that means I have creative

  • license to do whatever I like with it.

  • But will the Brass Wok staff agree?

  • On the menu, they've got pad Thai made with shrimp,

  • I've made mine with squid.

  • How do they feel about that?

  • THEY SPEAK OWN LANGUAGE

  • Shrimp is better.

  • You think shrimp is better? Yeah.

  • Did I see you add some sugar?

  • Yeah.

  • THEY LAUGH

  • Sugar fiends!

  • Honestly, you've surprised me.

  • This whole pad Thai and sugar thing, I'm shocked.

  • It seems that the people in Thailand have a very sweet tooth,

  • but they're also pretty frank.

  • They're not scared to tell you when you're wrong.

  • I've grown up in a family where I am used to being told how it is,

  • so that for me was the easiest knock back I've ever had in my life.

  • So, from now on I think I will stick to squid in a pad Thai,

  • just not putting the sugar in, though.

  • I'm going to stick to my sugar in my sweets.

I've eaten pad Thai in Britain and Bangladesh,
