Pad Thai

Prep:20minCook:10min

Recipe video above. Here's a Pad Thai recipe that really does taste just as good as takeout from good Thai restaurants, and you'll find everything you need at the supermarket. See here for a truly authentic Pad Thai recipe, if that's what you're after - but note that most people find it a little too "real" for their palettes because Pad Thai outside of Thailand is dialled back on the fish sauce/dried shrimp "funk".I use chicken here but feel free to switch with any protein, even prawns/shrimp.

Sauce came out too dark and heavy. Was not light like you think of when you think of pad thai.

Easy weeknight dinner... If you have the ingredients

I couldn't find garlic chives so I used spring onion instead. It looks really bland at first but don't add any extra sauce. I added more and it became too overwhelming so I had to add additional rice noodles to dilute the flavour.

Made a veggie version- skipped the chicken and used vegetarian fish sauce and oyster sauce. Yum!

can replace tofu with 3 oz of chicken and garlic chives with green part of green onion. if using frozen tamarind puree for smoothies, thicken for longer in pan.

So delicious. I used prawns instead of tofu and also threw in some park choy to up our veggie intake. So thrilled with this recipe. Was so easy to do aswell.

I doubled the sauce on this one, but I love a juicy pad Thai! Also added stir fry veg to add some more crunch, absolutely delish!

The best pad thai recipe ever. Super easy to make and very delicious. We couldn't find garlic chives, so we doubled the garlic and added some spring onions as per the suggestion in the recipe, and that turned out really yummy. We did fry up the tofu and scrambled the egg before starting because we found it easier to do that rather than scrambling the egg with half the ingredients in the wok. Definitly recommend adding the cayenne/chilli powder at the end. Gives it a nice spicy kick!

Perfect as written. I used the ketchup substitution and scallions instead of garlic chives. I made it with shrimp but have made it with chicken before too.

quarter less fish sauce - lime is definitely needed - sprinkle msg - cook noodles 2 mins more - cook chicken separately because it lets out a lot of water
