Hello Ryan! Your face looks so bright and in such a good mood today!
Hello Mia! I'm in a great mood today because I'm hungry and very excited!
Haha! You're hungry, so why are you excited? Do you have plans to eat something delicious?
Yes! This evening I have an appointment with a friend to cook our own food at my condo.
Wow, that's great! So today we are inviting everyone to learn Thai phrases for cooking!
Yes, there are six easy Thai phrases that are used very often in the kitchen and in daily life.
Our Hero Phrase today is 'ทำ อาหาร เย็น ด้วย กัน' (Cooking dinner together).
And the other five phrases are: buy fresh groceries, chop vegetables, boil soup, add eggs, and have a taste.
And in the next section, Mia has a fun story about evening fresh markets in Thailand to tell you!
Sounds very interesting and makes me so hungry! Let's go listen to the fun story right away.
Ryan, please tell me about yesterday evening. What happened when your friend visited?
Yesterday at five in the evening, my friend arrived at my condo to cook dinner together.
And what menu did you plan to cook and eat together?
We wanted to eat steaming hot Suki soup and fragrant Thai omelette.
Those are super popular and delicious dishes! Did you have enough groceries in the fridge?
There was nothing in the fridge! So I invited my friend to walk to the fresh market to buy fresh groceries.
At the fresh market near your condo, were there a lot of people at that time?
Very crowded! There were people getting off work and vendors selling fresh vegetables and pork.
Yes! Evening fresh markets in Thailand are very lively and have lots of inexpensive fresh vegetables.
We bought cabbage, mushrooms, pork, and chicken eggs, filling up our bags!
Once you got back to the condo, how did you get started next?
We washed our hands and started cooking dinner together in the kitchen right away.
Who did what task? Ryan, what did you help your friend do in the kitchen?
I volunteered to chop vegetables, but because I rarely cook, I chopped them very slowly!
Haha! I can picture it! How did the vegetables that Ryan chopped look?
Huge pieces! There were both thick and thin pieces; my friend saw it and laughed so hard.
No worries! Big pieces can still be delicious. What was your friend doing at that time?
My friend set up the pot and started boiling soup. The aroma of garlic and pepper drifted right out.
Smelling that fragrant aroma made you feel hungry immediately, right?
Yes! Once the soup boiled, my friend told me to help add eggs into the pot.
Adding egg into hot boiling soup makes the broth thick and much more delicious.
Yes! When it finished boiling, my friend scooped soup into a spoon and told me to have a taste.
And once you tasted it, how did it taste?
The flavor was well-rounded and delicious! The sweetness of vegetables and soup went together so well.
Sounds so happy! This is truly the fun of cooking food to eat by yourself.
Yes! Mia, please share a story about the dinner eating culture of Thai families.
Gladly! For Thai people, dinner is the most important meal of the day.
Why is dinner the most important meal, Mia?
Because in the evening everyone returns home together and loves sitting around cooking dinner together.
Thai people love chatting together and sharing tasks to cook meals, right?
Correct! One person washes veggies, one person boils soup, and another helps fry eggs, so fun!
It is truly a warm and adorable culture!
Yes! In the next section, we will look at the clear meanings of all six phrases.
Let's start learning the meanings of each phrase right now, Mia.
Let's begin with our Hero Phrase today: 'ทำ อาหาร เย็น ด้วย กัน'.
This phrase means 'to cook dinner together'. When inviting friends to cook meals, use this phrase.
Yes! For example: 'This evening let's cook dinner together!'.
The second phrase is 'ซื้อ ของ สด'. This phrase means 'to buy fresh ingredients'.
When walking to the market or supermarket to pick fresh vegetables and meat, say 'ไป ซื้อ ของ สด'.
The third phrase is 'หั่น ผัก'. This word means 'to chop vegetables'.
Using a knife to chop cabbage or carrots into small pieces is 'หั่น ผัก'.
The fourth phrase is 'ต้ม น้ำซุป'. This phrase means 'to boil broth or soup'.
When making hot clear soup or broth for Suki, we say 'ต้ม น้ำซุป'.
The fifth phrase is 'ใส่ ไข่'. This word means 'to add eggs'.
When cracking a chicken egg into the pot or pan, use this phrase 'ใส่ ไข่'.
And the sixth phrase is 'ชิม ดู หน่อย'. This phrase means 'have a taste'.
Before eating, we often spoon out soup for friends to have a taste to check the flavor.
Explained very clearly and so easy to understand, Mia!
And what about our listeners tuning in? Do you like the style of Team Nat or Team Ploy?
Mia, please explain the difference between Team Nat and Team Ploy.
Team Ploy are people who love cooking food to eat every day! Love buying fresh groceries to chop veggies and boil soup at home!
But Team Nat loves convenience! Usually buys prepared food, but if friends invite me to cook dinner together, I'm always ready!
Haha! Mia has a fun numbers question for Ryan to guess too!
What question? Go ahead and ask! I love guessing numbers.
Ryan, try guessing: what percentage of Bangkokians love cooking dinner to eat by themselves on weekends?
I guess forty percent, because life in Bangkok is very rushed!
Not quite correct! I heard that up to seventy percent love cooking dinner together at home on weekends!
Wow, seventy percent! That shows that most people really enjoy cooking meals.
Yes! Because cooking food yourself saves money and gives good health too.
Hearing that, I think I need to switch over to Team Ploy now!
Welcome to Team Ploy, Ryan!
Thank you, Mia! Then let's test our knowledge in the next section right away.
Ready! Let's go for it!
