This EASY Pad Thai recipe will change your LIFE!

Although we now associate pad thai sauce with tamarind in this Southern Thai-style recipe the sourness comes instead from a combination of easy-to-find rice vinegar and lime juice. Several hundred years ago traditional pad thai was made in exactly this way – without tamarind – and versions of this original recipe can still be found in various regions of Thailand.

Look for flat rice noodles in the Asian section of your grocery store. You’ll also find fish sauce soy sauce and rice vinegar there. For best results don’t overcook the noodles as they’ll soften as you stir-fry. Keep the pan hot and stir in the sauce until you’ve reached the perfect chewy-sticky consistency. Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less fresh chili peppers and cayenne pepper or add a little chili sauce for extra heat.

Serve pad thai with a simple side dish such as mango or papaya salad cucumber salad or stir-fried vegetables.
