Pad Thai

Pad Thai is the quintessential Thai street food dish, beloved around the world for its perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors. This recipe brings the authentic taste of a Bangkok street stall right to your kitchen. It features stir-fried rice noodles tossed with succulent shrimp, firm tofu, and a tangy tamarind-based sauce. Finished with a crunch of fresh bean sprouts, chopped peanuts, and a squeeze of lime, it’s a dish that hits all the right notes. While it seems complex, Pad Thai comes together surprisingly quickly once you have all your ingredients prepped, making it a fantastic and impressive weeknight dinner.
