Thai cuisine is prized for its perfect balance of the four main tastes: hot, sour, salty, and sweet. Pad Thai is no exception, with each of those flavors represented in this dish. Like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinnytaste.com\/thai-basil-chicken\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow noopener\"><strong>Thai Basil Chicken<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinnytaste.com\/bangin-good-chicken-salad\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow noopener\"><strong>Bang Bang Chicken Salad<\/strong><\/a>, it\u2019s one of those recipes that\u2019s more than the sum of its parts.

Traditionally, Pad Thai is made with tart tamarind and palm sugar for sweetness. Bee from <a href=\"https:\/\/rasamalaysia.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Rasa Malaysia<\/a> created this practical recipe for home cooks, and used rice vinegar instead of tamarind and swapped white sugar for palm sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pad Thai, but lightened up<\/strong>. As with other takeout favorites like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinnytaste.com\/general-tsos-chicken\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow noopener\">General Tso\u2019s Chicken<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinnytaste.com\/pineapple-shrimp-fried-rice\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow noopener\">Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice<\/a>, when you make Pad Thai at home, you\u2019re in control! Opting for homemade instead of takeout means there\u2019s less oil and sugar in the recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy to make your own<\/strong>. I love juicy shrimp in Pad Thai, but you can use any protein you like for this dish.\u00a0There are even ways to make this recipe low carb or vegan!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"This easy homemade Pad Thai recipe is a lightened up version of the original!

A pairing knife works well for deveining. Or buy them already cleaned to save time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fried firm tofu<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019re not a tofu fan, you can skip it. It\u2019s a nice way to add some extra protein to your Pad Thai.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs<\/strong> \u2013 You\u2019ll need one large egg and one egg white. You can freeze the spare egg yolk for another day; thaw it and whisk it with a tablespoon of water when you have a recipe that needs egg wash.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bean sprouts<\/strong> \u2013 Also known as mung bean sprouts, I add a generous amount to bulk up our homemade Pad Thai.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chinese chives\u00a0or scallions<\/strong> \u2013 You might see Chinese chives labeled as garlic chives; they have a stronger flavor than common chives. Can\u2019t find them? Scallions are just fine!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crushed peanuts<\/strong> \u2013 A classic garnish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lime wedges<\/strong> \u2013 Serve your Thai noodles with a squeeze of fresh lime juice to brighten things up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For the Seasonings:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fish sauce<\/strong> \u2013 Use Thai Kitchen brand for a gluten-free option.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar<\/strong> \u2013 We\u2019ll use just enough to make the sauce sweet without overdoing it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water<\/strong> \u2013 To achieve the right consistency for the sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rice vinegar<\/strong> \u2013 Be sure to use rice vinegar, not seasoned rice vinegar, which has added sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chili powder<\/strong> \u2013 Feel free to adjust the amount to your liking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I Have to Use Fish Sauce to Make Pad Thai?<\/h3>\n<p>Fish sauce is one of the key elements in Pad Thai sauce; without it, you\u2019ll have a delicious noodle dish, but it won\u2019t have that authentic flavor. If you\u2019re okay with this, you can substitute soy sauce, coconut aminos, or tamari. Another option is vegan fish sauce, which has that fish sauce flavor without the actual fish, making it suitable for anyone with allergies.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Pad Thai<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick overview of the steps involved in making Pad Thai. <strong>See the recipe card below<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>for more detailed instructions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"825\" data-id=\"127416\" data-pin-description=\"This easy homemade Pad Thai recipe is a lightened up version of the original!

I\u2019ve found that when making stir fried noodle dishes, using wood chopsticks is nice for keeping the noodles from clumping together in the pan. If you\u2019re not good with chopsticks, tongs work too!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be ready to move quickly<\/strong>. Have all of the ingredients ready to go near the stovetop so you don\u2019t have to pause to chop or measure. It\u2019s important not to over-cook the shrimp and noodles!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it low carb<\/strong>. If you would like to make low carb Pad Thai, swap out the rice noodles for zucchini noodles. Another option is to add even more bean sprouts and reduce the amount of rice noodles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Veganize it<\/strong>. For vegan or vegetarian Pad Thai, omit the shrimp and add extra tofu, or add more veggies.
