DONAL SKEHAN’S quick & simple suppers
Veggie pad thai
The paste you make for this pad thai is key; for best results use a pestle and mortar or blitz in a food processor. Do try and source coriander roots (i.e. not just the stalks) – they have a fresh aromatic taste, which will transport you to the streets of Bangkok, and sing through this humble noodle dish.
