One of thai dish that i enjoy is pad thai , of course curry is still the top on my list , but i was always wondering is it hard to make pad thai ? It doesn’t seem so because it’s just stir fry noodles .. except there is that special flavor in pad thai , sweet and sour blends together .. unlike any other stir fry noodles .<\/p>\n

So last night i decided to try this pad thai recipe that i found online . It seems like it was pretty easy , as long as you get the right ingredients . A trip to asian market is a must , we did that over the weekend and i made sure to pick up tamarind paste which is one of the main ingredients in the sauce . Everything else is pretty much easy to find in the regular grocery store .<\/p>\n
