Shrimp Pad Thai

Pad Thai with Shrimp (Pad Thai Goong) is perhaps the most famous dish of Thai cuisine, which has won the hearts of gourmets worldwide. This aromatic and satisfying dish is a harmonious combination of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors. The base is flat rice noodles (sen-lek), stir-fried in a wok with succulent shrimp. Egg, fried into an omelet, tofu cubes, crunchy bean sprouts, and green onions are added. All ingredients are generously coated with a special Pad Thai sauce, which is typically made from tamarind paste, fish sauce, palm sugar, and chili. Before serving, the dish is sprinkled with crushed roasted peanuts and served with a lime wedge, allowing everyone to add their perfect touch of acidity. This dish is an excellent example of the balance of flavors and textures
