Pad Thai is a popular stir-fried noodle dish that originated in Thailand. It is typically made with rice noodles, tofu or shrimp, bean sprouts, peanuts, egg, and a flavorful sauce made from tamarind paste, fish sauce, sugar, and chili. The dish is garnished with lime wedges and cilantro. The dish is cooked quickly over high heat, ensuring that the noodles do not become too soft. One of the secrets to a great pad Thai is to make sure that the flavors are balanced. The tamarind paste provides a tangy and sour element, while the fish sauce adds saltiness and umami. The sugar adds sweetness to counteract the sourness, and the chili adds heat. At Chakra we are able to make a version of Pad Thai without any salt, oil and sugar, offering an extremely healthy version of the dish that still maintains satisfying taste.
