Tips
Pad Thai is a classic and popular dish in Thai cuisine. Here are some tips to help you make a delicious Pad Thai at home.
1. Noodles: Use wide rice noodles, preferably soaked in warm water before cooking to soften them. Avoid overcooking the noodles as they can become mushy.
2. Tamarind sauce: The key ingredient in Pad Thai is the tamarind sauce. You can make it by mixing tamarind paste, fish sauce, palm sugar, and water. Adjust the proportions according to your taste preferences.
3. Proteins: Traditional Pad Thai includes shrimp and tofu, but you can also add chicken or beef. Cook the proteins separately before adding them to the noodles.
4. Vegetables: Include a variety of vegetables such as bean sprouts, green onions, and carrots for added texture and flavor. Stir-fry them quickly to retain their crunchiness.
5. Garnish: Top your Pad Thai with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges for a refreshing and nutty flavor.
