Pad Thai recipe
Pad Thai is one of the worlds most beloved noodle dishes.
Along withThai Green CurryandRed Curry, this is the dish by which every Thai restaurant is measured.
Comparison of Pad Thai made with Ketchup sub option, compared to authentic version.
What is Pad Thai??
Pad Thai is a Thai noodle stir fry with a sweet-savoury-sour sauce scattered with crushed peanuts.
If authentic is what youre after, try thisPrawn/Shrimpversion I shared from Spice I Am Thai restaurant.
What is Pad Thai Sauce made of?
Pad Thai Sauce is made with fish sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar and tamarind.
Its an ingredient used in South East Asian cooking, like this MalaysianBeef Rendang.
To make life easy, I use ready made tamarind puree which issold at supermarketshere in Australia.
Or Asian stores, obviously (and its cheaper).
Believe it or not, a great substitute is ketchup.
With a few tweaks to the recipe, you might achieve a similar, extremely good outcome!
Changs are less prone to breaking and require just 5 minutes of soaking in hot water.
The Erawan Rice Sticks are far more prone to breaking when stir frying.
Comparison of Pad Thai made with Ketchup sub option, compared to authentic version.
Dont even think about trying this with soft tofu it will just totally disintegrate!
Garlic chives are the big brother of normal chives.
They taste like garlicky chives (I know, youre shocked right? )
and are shaped like blades of grass.
I cannot believe how Ive just written about Pad Thai without barely pausing for a breathe.
Im going to stop here before I run out of space for the recipe.
So meet your new favourite Pad Thai recipe.
WHOOOOT!!!!!
