Pad Thai, translating literally as ‘Thai style stir-fry noodles’ is one of the most popular dishes to come from the region. Our Pad Thai stir-fry sauce consists of a balanced mixture of fish sauce, tamarind and palm sugar. We caramelise these ingredients to make an intensely sweet, salty and sour sauce. At Payst HQ for our ‘go-to’ lunch we stir-fry this with prawns or chicken, bean sprouts, Chinese chives, tofu, peanuts, chilli, egg and flat rice noodles finished with a squeeze of fresh lime with very tasty results!
