When it comes to Thai dishes, this is the ultimate. Street food vendors have epitomised this dish making it a signature of Thai cuisine, and no wonder why – it’s so simple to make and so tasty! Every time I make this dish, I reminisce partying along Bangkok’s famous Khao San Road, with 24 hour food vendors cooking up countless amounts of Pad Thai in their enormous woks.
Luckily its so easy to make this dish vegan. If you’re using straight-to-wok noodles, then you’ll only need one pan, otherwise you’ll want to cook through your noodles first. Any noodles will work, but I like using udon. I find they’re the best for making any stir-fry and they also boil in roughly 5 minutes.
