sunoco27 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Sometimes I taste a smoked flavoring that I really like in Pad Pak Ruam at some of the places I frequent. Does anyone know what it is and where I can buy it? Thank You Kindly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunOr Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Burnt oil used in cooking it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugocnx Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Oil that's been used to long maybe?. There is no condiment for making vegetables taste like smoke and why would they do it anyway. Ok, there is liquid smoke, but quite expensive. You like smokey tasting veggies? Edited October 5, 2014 by hugocnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyG Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 When cooking in a wok at very high heat the food can get very slightly caramelised or charred. It's referred to in English as "breath of the wok" and is considered a desirable characteristic. A complaint I've heard from Thai housewives a few times is that domestic burners aren't powerful enough to heat a wok sufficiently to get this "breath". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farang000999 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 as above user mentions - this is why Americans can never get Chinese food to taste the way it does at the restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quidnunc Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Actually, I've seen a Thai powdered smoke flavoring on sale at some supermarkets and restaurant supply houses. Not saying that's the case here, but it does exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldragon Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 If it's made with chicken or pork, the taste might be coming from the way the meat is prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATF Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 What you can taste is not smoke it's probably sesame oil or maybe the brand of oyster sauce they use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
