Yummy Sukhothai Pad Thai

Sukhothai, the capital of Thailand’s north central province, is home to the temples of the glorious King Ramkhamhaeng, perhaps the greatest king in Thai history. He was one of the first to bring Buddhism to the region, and it was during his reign that this region became known as Sukhothai. And now, the Thai people are starting to think of Thailand as the “Land of King Ramkhamhaeng”.

Sukhothai is a city in northern Thailand, in the Sukhothai Province, in the upper reaches of the Mekong River. The city’s name means “New City” in Sanskrit. It is also known locally as “Sukhothai” or “Sukhothai-nagara”.

From the “thai street food” I know, Sukhothai is famous for its curries. I have found that it is often much better when the food is prepared in the local way at home. I have learned to make Sukhothai Pad Thai in Bangkok. The dish is made with thin rice noodles called “muu” in Thai. The dish is always prepared with fresh curry leaves, fermented soybean, chicken or pork, tofu, scallions, onions, green chilies, lime juice, sugar, fish sauce, garlic, cilantro & green onions. The dish is spicy, sweet, sour, hot and yummy.. Read more about pad thai recipe and let us know what you think.

Instead of tofu, this delicious Sukhothai Pad Thai meal may be prepared with shrimp, chicken, or pig. In your local grocery shop, look for the more unusual products in the Asian foods department. To taste, adjust the pad Thai sauce components.

The infamous “N” word is one that is thrown around a lot these days, especially in reference to food. People say, “I’m going to eat this, and I’m going to eat that, and I’m going to eat this, and I’m going to eat that”, and then it ends up being “I’m going to eat this, because that’s what I’m supposed to be eating.” So, are you are guilty of believing that there are “right” foods and “wrong” foods, or are you the type of person that eats food because it tastes good?.
