About

I doubt there is anyone who visits Thailand and doesn’t think much of the food. Everything about their cuisine leaves a long-lasting impression, and in my case a lifetime of trying to recreate it. Pad Thai is quite frankly manna from heaven and can be cooked in less than 20 minutes.

Ingredients

200 g wide rice noodles
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp

Pasta
