This Week’s Recipe: Pad Thai Noodle Salad
My Mom and I had the best dinner at a Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh called Silk Elephant. If you ever go to Pittsburgh, I whole-heartedly recommend that place. It was the most authentic Thai meal I’ve had since our big Thailand trip a few years ago, and even the mango and sticky rice we ordered for dessert was almost as good as the real thing. So for this week’s recipe, I knew I wanted to find something Thai. Ele from Kitchenist had the answer with her Pad Thai Noodle Salad. It’s loaded with vegetables and that irresistible combination of tamarind paste, lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar.
(I’m also looking forward to trying this Thai-inspired Mango Slaw with Cashews and Mint from Smitten Kitchen)!

July 13, 2010 at 4:34 pmI knew I would have to add this to my list when I saw it too. Pad thai is so yummy! Also I made the mango slaw last night and I turned out great. Barely put a dent in all the cabbage I have from my CSA, but I will gladly make it again!
