Quick Easy Pad Thai
I can not claim authenticity when it comes to this Quick Easy Pad Thai but I can claim deliciousness. This is soooo good. I know I’ve said that before about other things I’ve made but you’ll notice that it’s going to be a recurring theme on this blog. I fell in love with this dish years ago but only recently discovered how easy it is to make at home. I love the mix of flavors and textures; salty, sweet, sour, crunchy, soft, chewy. Also, I pretty much like anything with soy sauce in it. This is a one pan dinner that cooks quickly and you can easily add and substitute vegetables or protein to suit your own taste or diet. I like to add chicken to make it a complete hearty meal but you can leave it out to keep it vegetarian. This recipe has joined our weekly meal rotation. So far we haven’t gotten tired of it. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
