*Do you love a good spicy Thai stir-fry now and then for something different that is bursting with flavor?  This gluten-free main dish can be made with beef, [chicken](http://kellythekitchenkop.com/chicken) or [pork](http://kellythekitchenkop.com/healthy-meat-choices), whatever you have on hand!*

I adore Thai food but was only introduced to Pad Phet this year by my sister-in-law. Pad Phet is a spicy Thai stir-fry flavored with red curry paste. It is typically made with eggplant and bell peppers but I like to use a mix of veggies. As much as I love red, green, and yellow coconut curries (made with coconut milk), I think I like this even better. Plus it’s nice to have another Thai dish in my repertoire.
