Sa Wad Dee Ka 🙏 Hive Community ^^
A couple of weeks ago I did show you guys how to make Pad Thai so today I'll step up to the another level by making Pad Mee Korat - Thai Hot Noodles Korat Style. 💜
🇹🇭 Pad means Stirred while Mee is to Noodles and Korat refers to Korat Province in Thai word. 🍜
Pad Mee Korat is the spicier version of Pad Thai. It is a spicy Thai noodle dish from Nakhon Ratchasima aka Korat province, Northeastern in Thailand.
Which is the most popular and iconic of Northeastern Thai Noodles. And right now Pad Mee Korat can be found in just about everywhere in Thailand and slightly popular throughout all over the world rightnow. 🇹🇭
Pad Mee Korat is well known favorite among locals but last year ago, Chrissy Teagen who is part Thai on her mother side which she is the model, chef, and influencer.
Chrissy has made Pad Mee Korat even more popular by appeared on her social media channel by cooking them with her mother then Pad Mee Korat was viral all over online world. My recipe was slightly difference from Chrissy so let's cook together with me and see how does the Pad Mee Korat look like.😆
It is made with rice noodles, meat, seasoned with dried chili, garlic, tamarin, dark soy sauce, palm sugar, fish sauce, and vegetables like chives and bean sprouts.
It's a fiery hot and spicy, little sweet, slightly tangy sour and savory aroma salty which is full of flavor in one bite.
Pad Mee Korat has a real punch of chili power that Pad Thai doesn’t have but you can cool down the heat if you want which is a perfect for a quick one plate dish for lunch or dinner.
🌶 If you belong to the spicy lover category, this dish is absolutely well worth to cook. 🤘
