The ultimate one-dish meal.

Easy Shrimp Pad Thai - Step 9

 

Have you ever had Pad Thai?

If you said no, then you don’t know what you’re missing. This classic Thai recipe is the ultimate one-dish meal: rice noodles tossed together with meat and veggies in a savory sauce that’s brimming with flavor. It’s delicious, it’s easy, and pretty much everybody likes it.

The best thing about Pad Thai is how flexible the recipe is. You can use any kind of veggies you like, and any kind of meat – or, if you’re married to a vegetarian like I am, you can leave out the meat and put in tofu. You can add a lot of spice to the sauce if you like it hot, or leave it plain if you like it not so hot. You can basically mess with it any way you want, and it will still taste wonderful.

Easy Shrimp Pad Thai - Step 7

This version, Easy Shrimp Pad Thai, uses shrimp, shredded carrots, green onions, and some scrambled egg. You toss it all with a garlic-sesame-soy sauce, and top it with chopped peanuts and scallions – and Sriracha to taste.

Once you get the hang of this basic recipe, you can tinker with it any way you want. You can substitute chicken or tofu for the shrimp, or throw in extra veggies like bean sprouts or cabbage. You can add more spice, or tone it down. Any way you – and your family – like it, this recipe can handle it. Go nuts!

    Love Pad Thai! I order this any time I go to P.F Changs. Can’t wait to make this on my own! Thanks for such a simple recipe.

    How much would it change the taste if you didn’t add peanuts when cooking but only added them to the bowls of people that wanted them? I have a family member that does not eat anything with nuts in it.
