This Pad Thai is very special to me, as it is insprired by a recipe given to me by one of my friends years ago. I learned a ton about cooking from her, exposing me to wonderful ingredients like tamarind or Sriracha. This quick Pad Thai is a bit more approachable than a fully authenic Pad Thai, but is 100% delicious and perfect for any weeknight. Let’s Make Pad Thai!
