When I get the urge to Asian food the first thing I think about is the Pad thai Thai [PAT taj](listen), think that even lately instead of spaghetti I do a Pad thai! You may wonder why! Well, apart from being very good, this is a full plate where there are proteins, carbohydrates, fiber and healthy fats, gluten-free and you can do it also in vegetarian version or eliminating the egg also vegan! So what more do you want? … that you prepare in a short time? perfect is a dish for which it takes more time to prepare the ingredients you cook it, once everything is ready, it will take you no more than 10 minutes cooking! So what are you waiting for? Pick up the ingredients, to the store of confidence, and give it a try too!

Today I give you the recipe I learned in Chiang Mai, but I will also vegetarian alternatives in parentheses!
