Pad Thai is a staple food to try when you visit Thailand. My personal favourite is chicken and prawn pad thai. And more recently, I made a homemade version of it is because I’m craving it.
Traditionally also cooked with Tofu, I chose not to include it in this recipe, but if you’re feeling it – add it! I have used a few more common store cupboard swaps to make the sauce, as some Asian ingredients can be challenging to track down! Give it a go!
