Nat's Version of Crock Pot Easy Pad Thai image

This was created one evening, when I was in "need" of a Pad Thai. These were the things I had on hand, thus it's creation. It can easily be made on stove top (much faster).Don't be afraid to add ingredients, or to leave any out. It's all a matter of taste, but this is the way we enjoy it most!I enjoy this more than going out for a Pad Thai now!

EASY PAD THAI



Easy Pad Thai image

Found this recipe on Pinterest, and LOVED IT! Couldn't find it on food.com, so adding for safe keeping. Here is a note from the original poster Patricia Lawless: "Granted, the recipe is not 100% authentic - it doesn't use fish sauce and tamarind and the 100 other ingredients the authentic version calls for - but it is light and fresh and easy with a capital E. You can seriously have this ready in 30 minutes flat (and most of that time is just soaking the noodles). I've made it 4 times in 2 weeks and unless I am on a beach in Thailand, I am never ordering Pad Thai in a restaurant again."

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful sauces, and aromatic spices will elevate the dish and make it more enjoyable.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the noodles, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from sticking together and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the noodles al dente: The noodles should be cooked al dente, meaning they should still have a slight bite to them. This will help them hold their shape and texture in the dish.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help prevent the food from sticking and will also impart a nice smoky flavor to the dish.
  • Add the sauce gradually: When adding the sauce to the noodles, do so gradually and taste as you go. This will help you control the flavor and prevent the dish from becoming too salty or sweet.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and vegetables: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs and vegetables such as cilantro, scallions, and bean sprouts. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
