Pad Thai combines the balance of sweet and sour, salty and spicy, fresh, and cooked to make an amazing dish for all at-home foodies. Typically, Pad Thai is loaded with high salt and saturated fat- but this at-home recipe is your healthy alternative to that “feel-good” fast food.
This recipe, shared with us by the beautiful Camille Knowles, begins with fresh ingredients such as Chinese cabbage, fresh bean sprouts, snap peas and spring onions packed with loads of tangy tasters and textures like lime, rice wine, tamari and coriander.
If you ever wondered what Pad Thai means it simply translates into “Thai Stir-fry”. Pad in Thai is the word for stir-fry. So next time you are eating out at your favorite Thai restaurant the menu will be that much easier to break down!
