I absolutely love the flavours in a Pad Thai!
I wanted to develop a healthier twist on this classic dish, as I find pad thai is usually quite calorie dense, with lots and lots of noodles compared to vegetables and protein.
We started by increasing the ratio of vegetables to noodles, and making sure there's a generous portion of high quality chicken breast or king prawns. We wanted to reduce the sodium content without compromising flavour, so after trialling various combinations of condiments and ingredients we finally landed on this delicious recipe.
We've also kept it gluten free!
Best enjoyed fresh.
