A Pad Thai Worth Making

198
The wonderful national noodle dish of Thailand, it is now served in many trendy restaurants. It can be adjusted to your taste, add ingredients that you like and make it as spicy or tart as you want to. It is also great as a basis for a stir fry of leftovers. This is a recipe for those who like it HOT, if you can't handle the heat, go easy on the chile sauce.

Pad Thai Quinoa Bowl

71
This recipe uses quinoa which is gluten-free, high in protein and fiber, and has a nice nutty flavor. But you can always substitute for either rice or noodles. Take out the chicken and add extra edamame and you have a great vegetarian meal instead. Or add shrimp if you like. A seriously good, versatile recipe!

Okinawan-Style Pad Thai
12

This is a famous dish popularized in Thailand. Although the recipe varies from cook to cook and region to region, this is a good attempt at recreating what I ate from Thai-owned hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Okinawa, Japan. Key to the flavor are the sugar levels, unsalted peanuts, peanut oil, and either oyster or fish sauce.

The flavor and the heat build with each bite of this shrimp pad thai, so don't taste it right out of the pan and think it needs more heat because five bites later, you will be surprised at the heat.

CSA Phad Thai

1
My favorite answer to using the beets from our weekly vegetable delivery. I have used both a spiralizer (Paderno® brand) and an ordinary shredder. I have been creative and used leftover chicken, added sautéed kale, garlic-roasted broccoli, and any other number of vegetables I had on hand. Other delightful garnishes are chopped peanuts, shredded purple cabbage, shredded carrot, and/or bean sprouts. This is a flexible recipe that will welcome what you have on hand.
