This Pad Thai Recipe Will Make You Think Twice About Ordering Takeout
Pad Thai is one of my absolute favorite dishes to get when I order takeout. After ordering it for the thousandth time, I thought: why can't I make this myself? So I went searching for recipes and I stumbled upon this one from Delish. With a few tweaks in the sauce, oil and amount of vegetables, I fine-tuned the recipe and came up with this:
