Pad Thai Cooking Class Noodles Street Thai F…

Pad Thai is a long-time Thai favourite dish. It is popular Thai Food and easy to find anywhere in Thailand: at food courts, on street food stalls, local markets, local restaurants and high-end restaurants.

The variety of Pad Thai dishes is wide and there is an endless way of enjoying this dish. Different parts of the country have different ways of cooking the dish to make it unique and delicious. The traditional way is very simple and the original Pad Thai recipe. Just cook noodles at high heat with egg, Chinese chives, bean sprouts, chopped sweet preserved daikon radish, Tofu, dried shrimps and ground peanuts. Season the stir-fried noodles with fish sauce, sugar and ground chilli.

Not only is the taste tempting but the texture of Pad Thai noodles is moist and gooey.

The noodles for Pad Thai in Thailand are usually fresh noodles from markets which are locally produced in every province in Thailand and dried noodles, particularly from Chantaburi (a province in eastern Thailand). It calls “Sen Chan” or Chantaburi noodles. Chantaburi dried noodles are famous because of their quality, and once cooked are particularly soft and gooey.

With this reputation, Pad Thai Sen Chan noodles are one of the popular variations with a specific type of the main ingredient and are well-known throughout the country.

I recall when I was a child. I lived in a shophouse nearby the city’s market and I lived nearby one of the shophouses which sold Pad Thai. I liked to go nearby to that place to watch them cooking Pad Thai. It was always busy with people eating Pad Thai or waiting to take it home.

If you love Thai food and you have ever cooked Pad Thai but didn’t get the result as you eat at a restaurant or while eating during your trip in Thailand.

- You never get the taste right, not even close.

- Your stir-fry noodles are soggy and the noodles are cut into small pieces.

- When you finish cooking your noodles stir fry is chewy, sticky catching in roll together, and difficult to eat.

I had the same problems. I never like cooking Pad Thai at home. But you know what, my problems are solved after I tried to practice and discovered small techniques cooking at home and I love cooking Pad Thai even more and am passionate about it.

These cooking classes will help you to enjoy Pad Thai the same as you eat the dish in Thailand.
