Love Pad Thai? Make it in your own kitchen and surprise yourself – it is quick, easy, and delicious. Pad Thai is the national dish of Thailand but today it has become an iconic dish around the world. An all-time favorite on the menu, it is made with chewy al dente rice noodles, stir-fried veggies, and usually by adding one type of protein with an irresistibly sweet and tangy sauce. A versatile dish – vegetarian or by adding your choice of meat or seafood. Enjoy!
TIP: When making a noodle dish, always remember to julienne cut the vegetables – thin strips.
