There are some foods everybody figures you can only have if you get take-out, and Thai food is definitely in that category. Rather, it was in that category until we realized how simple it is to make at home! Cooking Light shows us how to make a Classic Pad Thai dish that is tastier, healthier and more cost-effective than anything you could order in. Don’t believe us? Just watch this!

Easy, right? Get the printable version of the recipe from My Recipes and your ingredients – even the more exotic ones! – straight from your local supermarket. If they don’t have them there, check out your local Asian market, where prices are probably even lower. Then tell us— have you ever made your own Thai food before? What are some dishes you regularly get via take-out that you’d love to learn to make yourself?
