Noodles: If cooking pad thai style rice noodles, add the noodles to a pot of boiling water. Turn heat off, stir and let steep 2-3 minutes until tender, drain and run under cool water. Alternatively, pour boiling water over the noodles in a baking dish, let soak until softened, drain.
Just made this and it was an absolute succes! My family loves to go out for thai food, and this dosh is a favourite, and it turned out soooo close tobthe one we always have, it made us really happy!! Thx for the recipe!
i live in a small town and the nearest Asian market is 3 hours away. I can only find dry kiffer lime leaves on Amazon. Would they work. I did find thai basil yea.
I also have to order the curry but that is ok.
I made this recipe last night. Followed it to the tee but I do have a large family so I essentially doubled all the ingredients with the exception of the coconut oil and used 1.5X veggies. I did use two cans of curry paste and the kick, though too much for most, was just right for my family. The taste of this recipe is identical to our favorite Thai restaurant in Houston(also the highest rated in the Houston area), however its located 20 miles from us. No need to go back to the restaurant just for panang curry ever again.
Traditional pad thai sauce includes fish sauce, vinegar, sugar and tamarind paste. Tamarind paste is not easily found at a regular grocery stores so I substituted rice vinegar. If you would like to use tamarind paste, substitute about 2 Tablespoons in place of the rice vinegar in this recipe. I also added a big scoop of peanut butter to my sauce, because I think it gives the whole dish an added creaminess and boost of flavor that I love.
Absolutely delicious! Made 1.5 portions of sauce because we like it saucy and used both tamarind and peanut butter. Perfect balance of heat, salty and sweetness. Thanks for the great recipe, it will be my new go to for pad thai.
The top three brands were Taste Nirvana, Tropics, and Dragonfly. Since three of our samples were from Taste Nirvana (small bottle, big bottle, and can), I was curious if they would all receive similar ratings, and fortunately they all did! The canned Taste Nirvana was felt to be slightly milkier than the bottled Taste Nirvana, but all three Taste Nirvana samples were given very high ratings, with comments like "good balance of sweet and bitter" and "tastes JUST like Thai tea". Tropics was found to be sweeter than Taste Nirvana, and Dragonfly was found to be milkier than Taste Nirvana, but overall both were rated highly.
What a surprise when this massive Thai restaurant set down just south of Union Square, decorated like a Bangkok outdoor market with a lottery ticket window, fake electrical poles and pigeons, and all sorts of dining spaces on two levels. The cooks are from southern Thailand, and several dishes originated there, including khao yum, a refreshing salad that will knock your eyes out with its colorful ingredients. In line with the over-the-top decor, Bangkok street food can also be found.

Try the pad thai two ways with the original and the crispy pad thai with layers of added texture through deep-fried wonton strips, or the kuaitiao khua kai (wok-fried rice noodles with chicken, egg, scallion and romaine lettuce). Then ice-cold glasses of Asian fresca mocktails in mango and mint or lychee and ginger flavors are a balm in our Texas heat wave.
Phuket is the biggest, busiest island in Thailand, and although it has been infiltrated by package holidays and cheap sleaze in a few places (avoid Bangla Road in Patong), it also has cosmopolitan diversions in the form of designer boutiques and world-class restaurants - one of the best of which is Acqua.

This Michelin-starred noodle restaurant is the real deal! Focusing on noodles and soups from Sukhothai in Central Thailand, Udon Thani in northern Thailand, and Bangkok, their flavor-fulled entrees are decadent and perfect for a solid meal. Some of our personal menu highlights include the Chicken Khao Soi (Northern-style curry, egg noodles, crispy skin and juicy tender chicken, pickled radish, and crispy egg noodles) and Si-Krong Pad Ped (Wok tossed spicy braised spare ribs sprinkled with thinly sliced fresh and aromatic kaffir leaves, cucumber, long beans). Full menu here.
A favorite of the late and iconic Jonathan Gold, Jitlada is arguably one of the most prominent and influential Thai restaurants in the U.S. In operation since the 1970s, Jitlada really accelerated in 2006 when it was bought by Thai chef Suthiporn "Tui" Sungkamee and his sister Jazz (via LA Weekly). When Tui and Jazz took over Jitlada, they transformed the menu, adding flavors from their hometown of Pak Phanang in Southern Thailand (via The Infatuation). In 2007, Gold reviewed Jitlada for LA Weekly, launching the restaurant into the mainstream spotlight.

Start your meal with a serving of fruits and veggies. The main ingredient in this salad is crisp green, or unripe, papaya. One cup serves up 3 grams of fiber and more than all the immune-boosting vitamin C you need in a day. This shredded fruit is tossed with green beans and tomatoes. Peanuts add crunch, along with protein and heart-healthy unsaturated fat.
