15 minutes
Pad Thai with shrimp is an iconic dish of Thai cuisine born on the bustling streets of Bangkok. Its history dates back to the 20th century when it became a symbol of Thai national unity. This dish combines the tenderness of shrimp, the aroma of fried garlic and shallots, the richness of rice noodles, and the spiciness of a signature sauce. A light nutty hint from crushed peanuts and the fresh acidity of lime create a harmonious flavor. Pad Thai is not only delicious but also versatile: it suits both a hearty lunch and an elegant dinner. The addition of fresh herbs and bean sprouts gives it a special freshness, while a soft chicken egg complements the texture. Served hot with a wedge of lime and a generous portion of love for Thai gastronomy.
