Yellowfin Pad Thai
Description
Pad thai is a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served at most restaurants in Thailand as part of the country's cuisine. It is often made with rice noodles, chicken, beef or seafood, among other vegetables. The ingredients are sautéed together in a wok, which creates an even heat distribution. Once the dish is completed, it is tossed in a pad thai sauce, which gives the dish its signature tangy salty flavor with a hint of sweetness. This is a wonderful recipe that combines several delicious Thai flavors.
