Is Ketchup a Thai Ingredient?
PAD MACARONI. I grew up on this stuff, and still love it today. The version I grew up on used a type of pasta I have never seen here. We call it “macaroni” but imagine if the elbow macaroni were as long as spaghetti. It’s basically shaped like a drinking straw. If you’re thinking bucatini, it’s not, cuz the hole is wayyy bigger.
Is that a pasta shape that exists in Italy?? Or is it a Thai thing? Someone please let me know.
“Pad” means to stir fry, and I once made this dish for a friend’s American parents and I told them I’m making a “stir fry.” But when they saw it they looked surprised and said, “Oh you said a stir fry, but it’s more like a pasta dish!” And at that moment I realized that according to them, a stir fry and a pasta dish are mutually exclusive!

We eat something similar in Malaysia too! It's also similarly called, Macaroni Goreng.
Ketchup is actually an awesome ingredient. Slightly acidic, slightly salty. It really is a great helper ingredient
why does regular ketchup taste so horrible? We got organic heinz ketchup and ill never go back…tastes how ketchup SHOULD and not orange goop.
This is an abomination and I want to eat it all 😊
who puts ketchup in pasta 😭 there tomato sauce and paste for that
Which western countries are eating ketchup and pasta 🫥
Seeing how other cultures see western food and their ways of recreating it is always fascinating and hilarious.
I'll be hearing no more slander for non traditional western recreations of east asian foods
From what i know, in some Asian Countries, Ketchup is sometimes used for Tomato Flavor, but commonly also as a way to Sweeten foods.
Of course take these "facts" with a grain of salt because I could ge off.
Is it western? Besides American and English people who put ketchup on pasta? Certainly not italians nor french
Ketchup is sweet tomato sauce with a vinegar bite, it goes incredibly in a lot of dishes!
Lol my secret ingredient
Eeww 🤮
Interesting westerner is called farang in Thai, in Hindi it’s firangi
Ketchup, Mayonnaise, and Mustard are severely underrated as a cooking ingredient. They come in clutch. Mayonnaise in Baking, ketchup in sauces, Mustard in Rubs, theres so many uses for them other than just acting as a condiment.
Anyone else hear the Vsauce theme play when she said “or is it?”
Okay. I love Thailand. But my Italian ancestors are being a riot right now.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh high pitched italian screeeching
Any Italian watching you put ketchup on pasta 😀
Ketchup, lime/lemon, soy sauce, and oil. Mix and brush mixture as a final baste on to BBQ skewers. Yum 😋
The most iconically western ingredients are bread and cheese 🙏
Excuse me, people put ketchup in their Pad Thai????
看着好像很好吃的样子❤❤❤
maybe i can cook this with banana ketchup
Same thing in india as well!!
Ketchup is tomato, sugar and vinegar. Any dish that would do well with tomato, sugar and vinegar will do well with ketchup
this reminds me of Indian version of pasta we make with almost same ingredients as mentioned in this video except a few more.
all except we don't use eggs in pasta recipe
Ketchup is originated in China, "Pad" and any noodle also originated in China. So all these are considered Asian foods….Thai doing this just fine
Finding out ketchup is actually chinese made me much more shameless about loving it
don't forget ผัดเปรี้ยวหวาน or sweetandsour stirfry
Fun fact! Ketchup is actually Chinese in origin!
Someone tag that Italian friends dui youtuber 😂 @lionfield?
That looks disgusting
Ketchup is originally from southeast Asia. It was originally made from fruit, not tomatoes, of course, because tomatoes are from central America, the food investigators say.
My Thai friends in Bangkok must have kept this from me when I was growing up there haha
As a European that looks crazy 😭 I’m sure it tastes amazing but it’s so funny seeing household ingredients egg fried
Thank goodness it’s not just the Philippines! Good to know Thailand has our back with the ketchup pastas. 😂
Need that dig inside me 😍
My Taiwanese grandmother (grew up during the Japanese era) would often eat rice with ketchup.
Ketchup is actually Chinese but yeah I love the fried macaroni and how Thais put it on their pizza
My chinese mama used to make me this. It’s delicious especially if you let the ketchup and egg burn a tiny bit and the bottom goes crispy ❤❤
Throw some sesame oil in with the soya and ketchup and you have the best sauce for air fryer fries!
