We just LOVE Phad Thai. This versatile recipe is very easy to prepare. You can add chicken, shrimp or tofu to this recipe for some some extra protein.

Just substitute the soy sauce for gluten FREE soy sauce or Tamari sauce for an easy meal for those who can’t tolerate gluten.
When preparing the dish, I start with these flat rice noodles, and cook them to package directions. Rinsing the noodles after you cook them helps to remove some of the extra starch. If you miss this step, your noodles may end up more gummy / starchy.
After you rinse the noodles, put them in a large wok or pan that has been pre heated with cooking oil.
Add your sauce. You can also throw in some precooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu at this point if you choose to .
Stir to combine and cook an additional 5 min until peanut butter completely melts and the dish is warm throughout.
TIP: I like to use crunchy peanut butter. It helps to add a little extra crunch to the noodles.
