    Pad Thai for Thailand

    Pad Thai

    Again I go back to Wikipedia  which says that , “Thai cuisine is the national cuisine of hailand. Balance, detail and variety are of paramount significance to Thai chefs. In his book The Principles of Thai Cookery, renowned celebrity chef,
    writer and authority on Thai cuisine McDang wrote

    "What is Thai food? Every country in the world has its own food profile. It reflects its culture, environment, ingenuity and values. In the case of Thailand, these words come to mind: intricacy; attention to detail; texture; color; taste; and the use of ingredients with medicinal benefits, as well as good flavor.
    We not only pay attention to how a dish tastes: we are also concerned about how it looks, how it smells, and how it fits in with the rest of the meal. We think of all parts of the meal as a whole  sum rap Thai (the way Thais eat), is the term we use for the unique components that make up a characteristically Thai meal."
    Thai cooking places emphasis on lightly prepared dishes with strong aromatic components and a spicy edge. It is known
    for its complex interplay of at least three and up to four or five fundamental taste senses in each dish or the overall meal: sour, sweet, salty, bitter and spicy. Australian chef David Thompson, a prolific chef and expert on Thai food,
    observed that unlike many other cuisines: "Thai food ain't about simplicity. It's about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish. Like a complex musical chord, it's got to have a smooth surface but it doesn't
    matter what's happening underneath. Simplicity isn't the dictum here, at all. Some westerners think it's a jumble of flavours, but to a Thai that's important, it's the complexity they delight in.”
    So this is my attempt at making Thai Food... I have in the past tried my hand at Veggie Thai Curry, A delicious rice in coconut milk( I realize now I have never got down to posting it) and some others that I have forgotten about!!
    But this was totally different as I had guests at home my daughter’s friends, making this and the Blintzes taking pics and
    pouring rain things were in a chaos. Finally, I did not get to taste any  of the Pad Thai as the kids had  loved it and finished it all.

    My kids are thrilled about it. They keep reminding me that i have not eaten this awesome dish.etc etc.... Well I do want to  eat this instead of drooling over the pics.... This is my entry for Blogging Marathon were we are on a whirlwind tour around the World in 30 days!!

    Sticky Mango Rice makes a great dessert.
