Thai Rice Noodles also known as “Pad Mee Korat,” is a classic and popular dish in Thai cuisine. One of the most comforting foods to me is a big bowl of noodles. I’m a huge fan of all kinds of noodles but these Thai noodles are by far my absolute favourite. The depth of flavours in this dish is just mind blowing. The sweetness of the brown sugar, The saltiness of the fish sauce and the earthiness of the miso come together in perfect harmony. My girls and I are in love with the dish. If you’re a Thai food fan, do give this a try. I’m sure you will love it as much as we do. Please do share your thoughts with me when you do make it @sliceofgourmet I love hearing from you.
