      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.

      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 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.
