the-tangy-spicy-and-incredibly-easy-pad-thai-you-didn't-know-you-needed

Pad Thai has comforted me through the many different phases of my life. Whether it was the yummy noodle dish my dad would order for the family on nights of eating out, or the gem that hid in the hole in the wall Thai restaurant down the street from my overpriced Brooklyn apartment, This dish was the highlight of my day. Pad Thai is the epitome of comfort food. The way the tangy squeeze of lime intercepts the hot and chewy noodles and the crunchy roasted peanuts makes it a dish that is flavorful to all walks of life. It is a staple to the foodies, college kids, families, and couch potatoes. Though Pad Thai is known as the ultimate "takeout food", there is something so satisfying about standing over your frying pan and inhaling all of the amazing variety of smells of sautéed onion, garlic, and mushrooms bubbling in a tangy sauce. This particular Pad Thai recipe is so simple, yet so delicious. It is an easy option of cooking something fresh and "gourmet" while also maintaining your sanity. I might go as far as saying this is the Pad Thai recipe you never knew you needed.
