Pad Thai
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. I first tried Pad Thai when I was vacationing in Thailand, where this dish is sold right on the streets. I tasted several versions of this incredibly delicious dish (a simplified one and one with seafood), and decided to try making it at home. The recipe for Pad Thai is not complicated at all, the main thing is to have all the ingredients ready, and you need to cook very quickly. The finished dish can now be served.
