It’s more salad than Pad Thai, but just as delicious, and even more healthy. A powerful burst of Thai flavours of Thai basil, chili, tamarind and garlic perfumes this addictive one-meal bowl. The draw here is an amazing variety of vegetables and condiments that replaces the usual mix of meat and seafood. There’s bursting cherry tomatoes, creamy eggplants and sweet tamarind giving flat rice noodles all its flavour and juices. This vegetarian dish is more assembly, than cooking!
