Published Mar 25, 2018 Updated Oct 01, 2024 Pad Thai is a popular stir-fried rice noodle dish found in Thailand. Pad means stir-fry, so literally it means Thai stir-fry. It’s sold by street food vendors and at casual restaurants in Thailand. I love my Pad Thai with a variety of ingredients but Chicken Pad Thai is probably the most friendly as everyone loves chicken.
Pad Thai Sauce
I have a super easy Pad Thai sauce recipe that’s made with pantry ingredients so there is no need to shop at Asian or Thai food stores. You can make the sauce in advance and keep it in the refrigerator. My recipe calls for the following ingredients:
Fish Sauce Rice Vinegar Chili Powder Sugar Water
What Are the Noodles In Pad Thai
There are many kinds of Asian noodles in the market and it can be confusing. For Pad Thai, you want to use packaged Dry Skinny Rice Stick. The noodles are are about 1/10” wide. There is a Dry Wide Rice Sticks which is 3/8″ wide. You can use either of them but I personally prefer the skinny version. Method/Directions: Cook the rice sticks according to the package directions. Mix the Pad Thai sauce. Chicken Pad Thai is very easy to make at home and a crowd pleaser. Stir fry the garlic and chicken, tofu and rice sticks. Scroll down for the detailed recipe.
