AMAZING PAD THAI
2
This is a really great dish and I guarantee that it will match ANY take-out you order. Try it once and you will be hooked! This recipe may not be completely traditional, but I do like all the contrasting textures and flavours. The one piece of advice I could offer is to get all your ingredients prepped and lined up in order. Once this is done, dinner is ready in less then 10 minutes... There is no single component to Pad Thai that really makes it, but rather it is the perfect harmony between all
