Thai Street Food with David Thompson - Season 1 Episode 5 Noodles
10.00 48 minutes From the sophisticated to the simple, noodle dishes are different in every province and in every part of the country. But no matter where they come from, Thai noodles all share a common street food heritage. In Episode Five of Thai Street Food, Chef David Thompson explores the unique history of noodle culture as he takes us to some of his favourite noodle stalls. He cooks Kua Gai for an old friend, tries his hand at noodle-pulling and visits a well-known Chantaburi factory, where fresh noodles have been made by hand for generations. In modern foodie terms, such factories and stalls would be labelled ‘artisanal’, ‘boutique’ or ‘trendy’. But to Thais, locally-made noodle dishes using fresh ingredients are just the way it’s always been. Fast and cheap, yes. But timeless, and always delicious.
