Tips
  • Use the right kind of noodles. Pad thai noodles are made from rice, and they are typically flat and wide. You can find them at most Asian grocery stores.
  • Soak the noodles before cooking. This will help to soften them and prevent them from sticking together. Soak the noodles in cold water for 30 minutes, or until they are limp but still firm to the touch.
  • Don't overcook the noodles. Pad thai noodles should be cooked until they are soft but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use a hot wok. A hot wok will help to sear the noodles and prevent them from sticking together. Heat the wok over high heat until it is smoking hot.
  • Add the noodles to the wok in a single layer. This will help to cook them evenly.
  • Stir-fry the noodles quickly. Pad thai is a stir-fry dish, so it is important to cook the noodles quickly. Stir-fry them for 2-3 minutes, or until they are heated through.
  • Add the sauce and other ingredients. Once the noodles are cooked, add the sauce and other ingredients, such as eggs, shrimp, chicken, or tofu. Stir-fry everything together for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.
  • Serve immediately. Pad thai is best served hot and immediately. Garnish with peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges.
  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet. Just make sure that the skillet is large enough to accommodate the noodles and the other ingredients.
  • You can add other vegetables to pad thai, such as carrots, broccoli, or bell peppers.
  • If you are vegan or vegetarian, you can use tofu or tempeh instead of meat.
  • You can adjust the amount of sauce to your liking. If you like your pad thai saucy, add more sauce. If you like it less saucy, add less sauce.
