Spatula Diaries: Pad Thai at home

“The noodle dish pad Thai enjoys a big following, and many of us have eaten our fair share at local spots like Rama, Thai Kitchen and Thai Pepper over the years,” writes 225 food blogger Maggie Heyn Richardson. “Each bite presents that characteristic crossroads of sweet, savory and spicy, while also delivering a diverse texture thanks to chopped peanuts, bean sprouts, spongy rice noodles and tender shrimp or tofu. Surprisingly, pad Thai is simple to make at home, and once you perfect your process, it will become a go-to meal that’s ready in half an hour.” Find out Maggie’s method for preparing this tasty meal by reading this week’s Spatula Diaries.
