VEGETABLE VEGAN PAD THAI RECIPE
I am absolutely smitten by Thai Cuisine off-late that ask me anytime, whats for dinner and I will tell you - How about some Vegan Vegetable Pad Thai Noodles!!
I already have a Vegetable Pad Thai Recipe and a 30 Minutes Thai Red Curry in my blog and they are firm favourites.
But when you actually step into the super clean kitchen and rummage the refrigerator, you come across some seasonal ingredients that scream out - Cook me Cook me.
Then the plan begins to alter altogether..even though I am firm with Pad Thai Noodles. Its funny isn't it!! Sometimes I feel stubborn about cooking a recipe like a 5 year old kid who would be screaming hard and banging the floor.
I know !! But that's the truth of a food blogger too.
When I started picking out Asparagus and Soya Beans from the refrigerator, my eyes caught on the packed of Firm Tofu. Even better!! Coz I knew where the source of protein is going to come from in my Pad Thai Noodles.
Our recent visit to Nipa Thai restaurant actually broadened my spectrum and ways to incorporate vegetables in Thai Cuisine.We were served with fried Bean Curd with Chilli sauce for an appetiser and it was amazing. For some reason, it has been on my mind and I have always wanted to incorporate them in my Thai Recipes. And this was a fabulous opportunity. Especially when you are actually inaugurating your brand new Staub's Perfect Pan Wok !!
Yep!! I really love my Staub Cookware and every time I cook in them, the meal feels so special. Probably its combo of the love for the cookware and the favourite dish. This Perfect Pan Wok is an all star super star. Use them for stir frying, searing, sautéing, browning, steaming, and deep frying. Wide, angled sides facilitate stirring without spilling. - a plus when stir frying meats and vegetable. Thanks to cast iron construction, the vessel retains heat remarkably well to ensure uniform cooking.
We sometimes tend to go over-board with our favourite flavours that we want to be talking about it all the time. Pad Thai Noodles are just like that!! I have been playing with a different combo of vegetables and with teeny variations in the sauces to give me my perfect Pad Thai every time.
