Delicious Pad Thai

This traditional Thai dish comes straight from the street food vendors of Bangkok, offering incredible flavours and textures. It’s not something you often see cooked in a camping pot but this simple recipe is sure to be a favourite at the campsite.

Pad thai with pork is a traditional option, but try substituting it for a different type of meat to reinvent the dish with a new flavour. You can also use tofu or leave out the pork to make a vegetable pad thai.
