I have always been a foodie and curious about cuisine from all over the world. I love Thai food and during quarantine decided to get creative and make my favorite dish at home. Pad Thai is actually so simple and you can substitute chicken for shrimp, beef, or keep it vegetarian and add tofu. In the end, it’s all about that perfect Peanut Sauce and fusion of flavors. This recipe is also GLUTEN FREE! Who needs takeout?!
