Dee also made the best fresh spring rolls and gave us advice for making them. This recipe was created by me in an effort to use ingredients I could find easily, and recreate the taste I love. How to make pad Thai that really stands out dish—besides infusing it with all that vibrant flavor—is to make sure it's loaded with texture. Top the chewy noodles and tender shrimp with crunchy roasted peanuts, scallions, cilantro , crisp mung bean sprouts, and squeeze on some lime and more garlic-chile sauce.
This was delicious absolutely wonderful. I being a vegetarian did omit the fish sauce but it was still fantastic. The optional peanut butter did help. When making vegan pad thai, use ourvegan fish sauce– or use store-bought vegan fish sauce. Use crispy tofu as the protein, and leave out the eggs.

Add the drained, semi-soft noodles and toss with the egg mixture, stirring, flipping, frying constantly for 3-4 minutes until noodles become soft and pliable.

This recipe is a fast and easy version of traditional pad Thai, but maintains the authentic taste. Pad Thai is a classic stir-fried rice noodle dish hailing from Thailand made with chicken, shrimp or tofu, scrambled eggs, crushed peanuts, bean sprouts and lime. While cooked pad thai is good in the refrigerator for about three days, it’s not our favorite leftover.

Then, you squeeze the pulp to break it up and push it gently through a fine mesh sieve. What ends up on the other side in your bowl is a dark reddish puree that looks like apple butter but smells way more tangy. The only tricks, if there are any, have to do with timing. The actual dish itself takes less than 10 minutes to get to the table, which continued to surprise me, even as I was working on this recipe multiple times.
