MAGGI Nut free Rainbow Pad Thai
Pad Thai was created in the 1930s in Thailand by Plaek Phibunsongkhram, who was the prime minister at the time. Noodles are economical to produce and could be dried and kept for long periods of time. The amount of rice used to make noodles was 50% of what would be consumed if it was eaten unprocessed, so noodles essentially doubled Thailand’s rice stores. Colourful vegetables stir-fried with rice noodles and a lip-smacking sauce make this a delicious and easy alternative to take-out.
