Unfortunately, if there's a way to make Pad Thai look pretty, I've yet to find it, so you're stuck with the single image for my entire recipe. Hang in there though, it's definitely worth it!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Soy sauce
1/4 cup High quality peanut butter
2 tsp Tamarind paste- Tesco do their own brand version, failing that an Asian supermarket or Amazon are good bets
1/2 tsp curry powder
Cooked rice noodles
Vegetables of choice- I used spiralized carrot, broccoli florets & green beans in this version
Cooked meat of choice- left over roasted pork in mine
Traditionally Pad Thai is topped with crispy onions and crushed peanuts- I didn't have crispy onions so I was super decadent and put a fried egg on top of mine!
For the sauce- the important bit...
1. Add soy sauce, tamarind paste & peanut butter to a non-stick pan and heat gently on medium whilst stirring to melt the peanut butter and combine
2. Once peanut butter has melted, stir in the curry powder
3. Your sauce is likely to resemble a thick paste, let down with a splash of water at a time until the consistency is similar to ketchup.
Add a tablespoon of sauce to cooked rice noodles and stir fried vegetables and mix well to coat everything, transfer to a bowl and top with cooked meat and your egg if you decided to go all out like I did.
The sauce with keep in a jar or container for around 1 week in the fridge and it may need letting down a little after it's been chilled as the peanut butter content means it sets a little.
