Pad Thai
This Pad Thai brings together rice noodles, tiger prawns, and fresh vegetables in a tangy, savory sauce. It’s a quick-cooking dish, so having all your ingredients prepped and ready by the stove is key. The noodles soak while you make the sauce, then everything comes together in a flash in the wok.

Soak the Noodles
Put the rice noodles in a large heatproof bowl, then pour boiling water over them. Let them sit for 4 minutes, until they're pliable but still have a slight chew. Drain them well and refresh under cold running water to stop the cooking. - 02
Make the Sauce and Prep
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, cayenne pepper, muscovado sugar, and fish sauce until the sugar dissolves. This is your sauce. Before you start cooking, make sure all your remaining ingredients are prepped and lined up by the cooker – stir-fries move fast.
