Quick Pad Thai Recipe with Best-Tasting Asian Ingredients

Not a lot of people are aware that the history of Thailand’s street food treasure, Pad Thai, doesn’t really date far back. In 1930, the prime minister of Thailand took advantage of a rice shortage to push for a noodle dish alternative that would preserve their rice resources and, at the same time, help establish the identity of the country. Pad Thai was promoted heavily up and down the country under the campaign slogan “noodle is your lunch”.

Today, the sweet and savory Pad Thai has found its way through our hearts and stomachs of people from all over the world. What's best enjoyed in the streets of Thailand can now be made from your own home! 

We’re borrowing this incredibly delicious 15-minute Pad Thai recipe from the cool people at Feasting At Home complete with links to ingredients you can get from our product catalog. The thing with Pad Thai is it’s definitely fun to make and incredibly delectable too! Made with a wide variety of colorful and aromatic ingredients, you’ll find yourself tossing and turning and stir frying excitedly for a dish that’s worth all the effort!
