What is Wagamama Pad Thai recipe?

The Wagamama Pad Thai recipe is a popular and delicious dish inspired by the authentic flavours of Thailand. Pad Thai is a stir-fried noodle dish that typically combines rice noodles, fresh vegetables, tofu or meat, and a tangy sauce. Wagamama, a renowned Asian-inspired restaurant chain, has created its own version of this beloved dish, known for its vibrant flavours and satisfying textures. With a balance of sweet, sour, and savoury elements, the Wagamama Pad Thai recipe is a delightful fusion of ingredients that come together to create a mouthwatering and satisfying meal.

Why You’ll Like It

  • The rice noodles provide a soft and chewy base, while the fresh vegetables add a satisfying crunch.
  • The sauce, made with a blend of tangy tamarind, sweet palm sugar, and savoury soy sauce, creates a harmonious mix of sweet, sour, and umami tastes.
  • The addition of protein, such as tofu, shrimp, or chicken, adds depth and texture to the dish.

This recipe’s success lies in its ability to create a well-rounded and flavoursome meal that captures the essence of traditional Pad Thai while adding a unique Wagamama touch.

Tips for the Perfect Wagamama Pad Thai

  1. Soak the rice noodles in hot water until they are pliable but still slightly firm before stir-frying. Oversoaking can make them mushy.
  2. Have all the ingredients prepped and ready before you start cooking, as stir-frying is a quick process.
  3. Adjust the flavours of the sauce according to your taste preferences. Add more sweetness with palm sugar, more tanginess with tamarind paste, or more heat with chilli flakes or fresh chilli.
  4. Customise the protein by adding tofu, shrimp, chicken, or even a combination of these. Cook the protein separately before stir-frying and add it back in at the end.
  5. Garnish the Pad Thai with fresh herbs like cilantro, chopped peanuts, and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavour.
