Red Rice Pad Thai Noodles
As I was shopping at Trader Joe’s yesterday, I found this red noodles. I love Pad Thai but I try to have them occasionally because the noodles are heavy in my tummy. Once in a while, my husband will ask for a traditional dish, and I thought he would be happy to have some Pad Thai (although we are originally from the Philippines) you get what I mean. Not exactly the authentic kind but close. I use the red noodles which are close to the regular pad thai noodles. I didn’t use fish sauce, not really a big fan of fish sauce, but I add some shrimps to get the seafood taste in it.
I made this recipe as simple as it can be to get close to the authentic Pad Thai. Just made it medium spice, I used jalapeno pepper vs. red chili pepper and I added some scrambled eggs for color. I love buying Argentinian Wild Caught Shrimps which taste close to a lobster. They are the perfect shrimps if you’re going to make scampi.
