Pad Thai

Pad Thai

Pad Thai is a great go-to recipe when you're after an Asian-style sweet-savoury dish. 

 

It hits those sweet, tangy, nutty, and salty cravings, some more than others. 

 

Which is why we use Kikkoman Less Salt Soy Sauce with a 43% salt reduction, for those who prefer a low-salt diet. Its taste is in no way inferior to the original. It is also naturally brewed, which preserves its unique full-bodied aroma!

 

We're making Pad Thai with Shrimp today, although you could substitute this for chicken, beef, pork or tofu.
