This week: Jet Tila on Thai food. He tells us about real Thai sriracha, what it takes to make the world’s largest stir-fry and why working at his family’s market sometimes meant visiting the set of “Star Trek.” Plus, we explore the wild world of cooking manga with Deb Aoki; Grant Barrett and Martha Barnette tell us what food you’re obsessed with if you’re a turophile; and we make one of Brazil’s signature meat stews.

Questions in this episode:

“My dad’s bread has been burning at the bottom. Why is that?”

“I made a Zanzibar curry and the potatoes did not end up soft. Can you help?”

“Is skin crispiness worth having a dry pork roast?”

“Why is my granola coming out soggy?”
