Pad Mama

Mama is a popular instant noodle brand in Thailand. It comes in different flavors like Tom Yum, Yen Ta Fo, Green Curry, Pho, etc. My favorite has to be the Tom Yum Mama noodles. Thai people like Mama so much that there is even a restaurant in Thailand called Yum Saap, which serves various dishes using Mama noodles. There are so many ways to cook Mama noodles and one way is to stir fry it, hence this recipe, Pad Mama. In Thai, “Pad” means to stir-fry. So Pad Mama translates to stir-fry Mama noodles. There is no right or wrong way to make Pad Mama and there are different variations of the dish.

I enjoy making this dish because it is quick to make and the ingredients used to make the dish is inexpensive. This recipe is great for those individuals who are on a budget or those who have busy schedules.

Since my recipe is a meatless Pad Mama, feel free to add your favorite meat to the dish. Also for this recipe, it’s not required to use the Mama brand, so use any kind of instant noodles that is available at your local store like Maruchan instant noodles.
