30 minutes

Thai-style rice noodles with shrimp and vegetables is a vibrant dish of Thai cuisine that combines the tenderness of shrimp, the aroma of fried vegetables, and the rich flavors of soy and teriyaki sauces. The origins of this dish trace back to Thailand's street food scene, where noodles are prepared quickly while preserving the freshness of ingredients and balancing spicy and sweet notes. The light tanginess of the sauce, sweetness of carrots, and spiciness of garlic make it incredibly balanced. The noodles gently absorb flavors while shrimp add a pleasant texture and a hint of the sea. This dish not only provides gastronomic pleasure but also fills you with energy, making it perfect for friendly gatherings or cozy dinners. It is served hot, often with lime and herbs that enhance its refreshing character.
