Cooking Tips
Choose Your Noodles
Opt for rice noodles or any other gluten-free noodles to keep this dish light and healthy. Conventional wheat noodles can also be used if gluten-free is not a requirement.
Peanut Butter Selection
For the best results, use smooth, natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils. It will lend a pure, earthy flavor to the dish that’s both comforting and exotic.
Fresh Herbs
Thai basil adds a unique taste and aroma, but if you can't find it, regular basil or even cilantro can be a great substitute. Fresh herbs are key to lifting the dish, so don’t skip them!
