Chicken and Prawn Pad Thai can just as easily be plain old Chicken Pad Thai, or Seafood Pad Thai or indeed vegetarian Pad Thai (don't over look firm tofu as an option). Whatever Pad Thai you fancy though, you have to have the fermented sort of pickled sour sauce to make it work for you. SO I went to work, and yes, I am happy with the Pad Thai Sauce. If you use a jar of sauce it will work the same, but NOT. Who knows what is in that jar...so make it from scratch on the day you plan to make the Pad Thai of choice and then keep going without washing the Thermomix bowl. Best way to infuse even more flavour into the dish. Make it and leave me comments!!)
