Pad Thai


When you think of Thai food , what comes immediately to your mind ? Tom yum soup ? Pad thai ? Me ? 'tis always pad thai . Yup , because it's fried noodles ....

I already made a passable gon chau ngau ho and char kuey teow so another noodle dish with nearly the same ingredients except adding some that makes this dish unique and a dish that most Thais couldn't live without ....

Pad thai is #5 in World's 50 most delicious food by CNNGO

This is one of the dish I've been hankering about for quiet sometime and since I got most ingredients on hand , so there .

I even made a decent pad thai sauce . Though the recipe calls for Thai seasoning sauce which I don't have , so I made a combination of fish sauce , soy sauce and chili paste and I might say , it's quiet good heh ! But next time will add more chili to the sauce .

And because I always forget to add one ingredient when I cook or bake , this dish is no exception lol Nothing drastic , just the fried shallots  , which I promptly add while I'm scarfing a plateful of pad thai after I finished taking loads of photos of it ! hahahaha

Chopsticks shot of course ! hee hee

    nowadays Pad-Thai in Thailand popularity use Gas stove

    but u still can use gas stove. it's similar for the result

    ผัดไท Pad-Thai

    Hard pork fat [no skin, no meet and keep use the hard fat one] มันหมู
    Fresh Duck Egg [more flavour and texture foe Pad-Thai than Chicken Egg ] ไข่เป็ด

    chopped yellow to fu เต้าหูเหลือง
    Dried Shrimp กุ้งแห้ง

    Coconut Sugar น้ำตาลปี๊บ
    Tamarind water น้ำมะขามเปียก
    water
    bean sprouts
    Chinese Chives

    Roast Peanut [minced] and a wedge of lime for garnish
    if you life cchilli powder u can add it too

    Put a pan on a medium-high heat roast the pork fat until oil came out and pork fat a bit crunchy pour in a cup set a side

    1. Hey PunNy Baker , thank you so much for dropping by and making this lovely comment and recipe ! Really appreciate it ! Yup , you're right frying it using coal or wood's a great idea , it always gives a dish a much more complex flavor ! Sadly , I'm using induction stove here :P :D But when I go back home ( in the Philippines ) I will surely cook the way you make/cook it !

      Feel free to drop by again !
