#pad-thai

Few dishes are as vibrantly full-flavored and remarkably balanced as pad Thai. Whether you prefer sweet, sour, salty, or pungently savory flavors, this popular stir-fry has it. The base sauce (tamarind, fish sauce, sugar), choice of protein (shrimp, chicken, egg, tofu), and toppings (peanuts, lime, green onions, cilantro) all work together to create something deliciously tantalizing for taste buds without any element outshining another, making it easy to understand the dish's popularity. With all these components, you might overlook the noodles.

Among an array of mixed opinions, the overall consensus of this Trader Joe's Thai food is that it is easy to prepare and a quick and delicious option that can take the guesswork out of preparing a tofu pad Thai recipe or similar meal. The added bonus for those who don't partake in animal proteins is that this Trader Joe's offering is also vegan.
