Pad Thai (Thai style fried noodles)

ผัดไทย (Pad Thai)

          As you known this dish is very popular for all over the world BUT do you know, it's really easy to make too ;) Just few ingredient and not over 30 minutes to cook!

          In this recipe I'm not put ground roasted peanut in to plate for garnishing because I don't eat it but if you do like please add it into your plate :) 

          Traditional we serve Pad Thai in a plate and fresh vegetables in other plate for side dish. Veggies plate normally contain with Chinese chives, bean sprouts, lime wedges, and banana blossom. But nowadays in many restaurant serve just bean sprouts and Chinese chives They don't put any lime wedges because expensive, banana blossom is difficult to find. And on our table must have seasoning rack, with chili flake, white vinegar, sugar and fish sauce for personal extra seasoning.

          Anyway hope you enjoy my recipes and try to make it yourself, really easy and delicious :)
