One of the most famous Thai dishes: Pad Thai! Originating in Thailand's street food culture, this dish reflects the special balance of flavors – sweet, salty, sour and umami – that Thai cuisine is known for. The mix of rice noodles, shrimp (or another type of protein of your choice), crispy vegetables and refined herbs are brought together by the delicious Pad Thai sauce. We received this recipe from Mr Tingly, who has his own cooking school in Bangkok.
