During these uncertain times, many of us are stuck at home day in and day out. While this may have been a welcome change of pace at first, the more time that passes, the more creative we need to become. When it comes to eating, this is no exception. If you’re not a chef, you may be finding that your Nashua take out game has increased tremendously. While the small businesses in town appreciate and welcome your continued support, sometimes it’s nice to save some money and cook at home!

As one of the most popular Thai dishes here at the Giant of Siam, we’re providing you with an easy at-home recipe for Pad Thai. Made in less than 30 minutes, this dish is the perfect way to bring a bit of excitement to the family!
