My Asian Mom tested out MY pad Thai recipe. Will she hate it or rate it?! | Marion's Kitchen

tamarind paste

🥗Healthier: lime juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lime juice provides acidity, while vinegar can mimic the tanginess of tamarind.

shrimp

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: tofu

Tofu is a plant-based protein that is more affordable.

fish sauce

🥗Healthier: soy sauce

💰Cheaper: salt

Soy sauce can provide umami flavor, while salt is a basic seasoning.

peanuts

🥗Healthier: sunflower seeds

💰Cheaper: walnuts

Sunflower seeds are a nut-free alternative, while walnuts are often cheaper.
