What is Pad Thai?

Pad Thai is Thailands National dish and likely the most popular order at the majority of Thai restaurants here in the U.S.

It is a noodle stir fry dish traditionally made up of rice noodles, shrimp, tofu, eggs and a deeply flavored, sweet and sour sauce. The sauce is usually consists of ingredients such as fish sauce, tamarind paste, dried shrimp and palm sugar.

Is This Authentic Pad Thai?

I'll be the first to admit this is not the typical Pad Thai you'd find in Thailand. My version uses common ingredients found in the U.S. with a similar, and equally as delicious flavor to an authentic version.

So, you won't have to make a special trip to the Asian grocery store that may be 30 miles or more away from home.

In this Pad Thai you'll find tender pieces of chicken and lots of fresh vegetables and it's all tossed with the most crave-worthy sauce, and of course, finished with an abundance of crunchy peanuts.

You'll see based off of the reviews and comments this has been a reader favorite!
