Hi! I have not been able to find dao jiew anywhere in my area, even though there is a large East and Southeast Asian population and at least six different Asian groceries in a ten mile radius. I've made do with gochujang, but just wondering if you have suggestions for where else to look - is it worth ordering from Amazon or something?

What is best store bought peanut sauce ? Both spicy and not spicy ??
Thank you
Love your site and recipes ++!!
Pailin Chongchitnant says
Peanut sauces that you can buy is not a Thai ingredient. It's a totally westernized invention and Thai people don't eat anything like it so I can't recommend anything. If you want real Thai peanut sauce, you have to make it! I have the recipe in my beef or pork satay recipe 🙂

I came across your YouTube video by accident. I am sure glad I did!!! YOU ROCK!!! I am going shopping tomorrow for sauces and spices. First dish on the list...Kao Mak Gai! Thank you Pai. I fell in love with Thailand back in the late 80's the food, culture and people.

If you can't find Golden Mountain sauce where you live, you can try looking for Filipino "Silver Swan" soy sauce, which contains the same flavour enhancers (guanylate and inosinate) so I suppose it should be similar.

Hi, can you please provide a list of brand of saucesand picture of each featured in the video? Thanks
Kathy says
Hello Pai. Can you share a "universal" sauce recipe that can be used in any stir fry recipe? I would like to mix something to have on hand to make quick stir fry with and/or without meat. I have purchased all of the sauces you recommended in this video except for the Oao Jiew. I love your Lockdown stir fry and Pad Woon Sen recipes in particular. Pad Thai is also a favorite. Thank you love your recipes and videos!

Hi,
I can't fine the 'see ew dum' sauce with orange cap.
What other brand can I use ? I'm in Montreal.

Pailin Chongchitnant says
Hi Audrey, you can use any "dark soy sauce" that you can find, but non-Thai ones tend to be saltier so if you're going to use more than a teaspoon just cut down on the regular soy.
Deborah Mendez says
Hi, Excellent explanation!!
Ingrid says
Hi Audrey ,
I am from Montreal , and found the dark soy sauce at the store where Cinema du Parc is.
It is super delicious , adds specialness , and use in my sauces as Pailin suggests
Enjoy ~
