Thai Delicacy – Pad Thai Noodles
Description
These noodles are simply fab! Shrimps, eggs, tofu, peanuts, pad Thai sauce, all embraced by delicious glass noodles. Mmmmmm yummy!
The most important thing when it comes to authentic Pad Thai is the Pad Thai sauce. Never add ketchup like they do in restaurants, that is considered an offense to the authentic Pad Thai. As I know there are many Pad Thai recipes out there, I will give you my own version, that I adapted to the one I learned during a course
