This Thai-restaurant favorite comes together at home in less time than you'd ever imagine possible.

Makes 3 servings, about 1 1/3 cups each

ACTIVE TIME: 25 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 45 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Moderate

4 ounces dried rice noodles
2 teaspoons peanut oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
8 ounces small shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups mung bean sprouts
1/2 cup sliced scallion greens
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
2 tablespoons chopped dry-roasted peanuts

1. Soak rice noodles in warm water to cover in a large bowl until they are limp and white, about 20 minutes.
2. Heat oil over high heat in a wok until very hot. Add the garlic and stir-fry until golden, about 10 seconds. Add the egg and cook, stirring, until scrambled, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and stir-fry until they curl and turn pink, about 2 minutes.
3. Drain the noodles and add to the wok, tossing with tongs until they soften and curl, about 1 minute. Add bean sprouts, scallion greens, vinegar, fish sauce, sugar and chile-garlic sauce; toss until the shrimp are fully cooked and noodles are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with peanuts and serve immediately.

I bought fresh mung bean sprouts and then couldn't find the recipe that made me add them to my grocery list. I did a recipe search for that ingredient and saw the Pad Thai was rated 4 stars. I had no idea what it would taste like. We had a guest for dinner. Servings were just right. Served it with a side of fresh fruit. I just added my 4 star rating, also.

This was the worst pad thai I or my husband has ever eaten. The sauce was too liquid and did not adhere to the noodles. It was also very sweet but no other flavors jumped out at us. I would not recommend this recipe.
