Easy Pad Thai Tips
Is it better to use a wok for pad thai?
As pad thai is a quick stir-fry at high heat, a wok works best because of its high-sided design. However, if you don’t own a wok, any kind of large skillet—be it nonstick, stainless steel, or a nicely-seasoned cast iron skillet—should do the trick! This
vegetarian pad thai recommends using a nonstick skillet.
What other ingredients can you add to this easy pad thai recipe?
Try using thinly sliced chicken breast strips instead of pork. Stir in some sliced mushrooms, or add some additional color and flavor with peas and carrots.
How do you make pad thai not dry?
The secret to really good, flavorful pad thai that isn’t too dry is to keep everything moving as you prepare the dish. Have all of your ingredients ready to go before you begin. Once you start putting everything together, don’t let anything sit too long in the pan over the hot heat. Find more
