Pad Thai in Thai Green Curry



Pad Thai is one of the Thailand's national dishes. It is a dish of stir-fried rice noodles with soy sauce, tamarind juice etc. Also bean sprouts, tofu etc are added along with Thai Seasoning. 


In this dish, I have added Thai Green Curry paste along with the vegetables used to make Thai Green Curry.  Something different, but tastes awesome..

For Main dish
1 Packet Flat rice noodles ( Phad Thai Noodles) Approx 200 gms.or 2 large cups
2-3 tbspns Thai Green curry paste
2 cups blanched vegetables (Broccoli, Sweet Corn, French Beans, Carrot, Capsicum etc.)
3-4 diced mushrooms
1 tbspn Thai Seasoning Mix (Thai mix herbs)
3 tbspns coconut milk powder
2 tbspns olive oil or vegetable oil
Salt to taste

Roasted and peeled peanuts
Chopped Spring onions

Heat oil in a pan
Add the blanched vegetables and mushroom

Add salt to taste
Add 1 -2 tbspns of water to adjust the consistency
Finally add soaked rice noodles to the curry
Stir for few seconds

  4. Hi, I got the spice at Cost Plus Markets but what is the difference between the seasoning mix and herbs ? Where can one buy these ? Also in the green curry don't you use basil and not mint ?
