Why I Created This Recipe
Our family LOVES pad thai, and we have traveled the world eating and tasting various renditions of this succulent dish. It’s my pleasure to bring you this recipe, after testing and re-testing. My goal is to bring you an authentic tasting pad thai dish that you can easily make at home using ingredients that can be found in America. I hope you love it!What Is Pad Thai?
Literally translated, pad thai means “Thai stir-fry.” A popular dish from Thailand, it is a type of stir-fry recipe that utilizes techniques and elements commonly found in Chinese cuisine. The dish first emerged in the 20th century, and although there are many variations, it always consists of a combination of rice noodles, eggs, tofu, and meat tossed with a unique pad Thai sauce and is topped with peanuts, fresh vegetables, and cilantro. Declared a Thai national dish around the time of WWII, pad thai has continually grown in popularity throughout the years and can now be found in restaurants across the globe.
