Almost 10 years ago, while working late nights in Almost 10 years ago, while working late nights in public accounting, Thai takeout became a small source of joy amidst stressful days. At the time, I only knew how to order Pad Thai.

It was richer, more comforting, and felt like a hug in a bowl. Years later, I finally learned just how simple it is to recreate this dish at home.

The best part? This homemade Thai stir-fry comes together in under 30 minutes with just a handful of ingredients, proving that delicious doesn’t have to be complicated.

👉 If you had to pick just one, would you choose Pad See Ew or Pad Thai?
