noodles

Weather is warming up in Vancouver, and I enjoy spending some time outside, tending and watering the plants everyday in my little garden. It gives me immense pleasure and helps in keeping myself active and busy. Last week the weather was gorgeous and my daughter invited her old school friends over for lunch. I wanted to serve something simple, speedy and satisfying, which the girls would like. Then, pad thai came to my mind that everyone knows and loves!

Pad thai needs no introduction! It is one of the the most widely recognized Thai dish in the entire world. It is a stir fry dish of flat rice noodles with some scrambled eggs, crunchy mung bean sprouts, roasted peanuts that are flavored with a tasty mixture of tamarind, fish sauce and palm sugar.
