Pad Thai or Phad Thai is a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served as a street food and at casual local eateries in Thailand. This is quick to make and a favourite when home late from work as a main dish. This is probably one of Thailand favourite dishes along with peanut chicken satay and Thai Green Curry. This recipe has a lovely selection of textures from the smooth noodle to the crunch of scallions. The addition of chillies make this a warm filling meal.
Pad Thai Tip:
Use thin strips of meat instead of seafood and add extra vegetables to vary the recipes. Hint: If using linguine Thai noodles soak for longer.
Pad Thai
A lovely change to a Chinese noodle meal. This recipe can be adjusted for thin strips of meat. Either way is divine.
