Ever since I discovered an Asian supermarket, our drawers have been filled with “exotic” products. I’ve tested a lot of new Asian recipes without being disappointed. This time I tried a Thai recipe: vegetarian pad Thai. Fast, easy and tasty, this recipe is delicious.
Pad Thai is rice noodles (gluten-free for those who are interested) sautéed with tofu, vegetables, and a sauce that transports you to another continent!
