Pad Thai

I LOVE this recipe. It’s been in my rotation for years now. I’ve made it with so many variations- pork, chicken, vegetarian (just about any veggies you can think of that you might find in an Asian dish) and experimented with all kids of additions/ substitutions. Tonight I think was my best version- I followed the recipe almost exactly with these adjustments: cut up a purple and yellow onion and sautéed those for a few minutes (until soft) before adding the egg to the pan (I actually used 4 since I was making a vegetation version). I made the sauce on the side and poured on the whole dish once veggies were cooked: I didn’t have any fresh garlic so I used a Tbs of dried garlic flakes, 1/3 cup vinegar, 3Tbs fish sauce, skipped the brown sugar, 1Tbs lime juice, 1 Tbs soy sauce + red pepper (I had some chili pepper paste that needed to be used so used 1 tsp of that instead of flakes). Perfect! Oh, and I always add a small can of water chestnuts on top. I think I’ll make this variation from now on! My husband said it tasted like take-out!

I found this recipe very good and easy. I did slice my shrimp in half and marinated them in chili oil while preparing the rest of the ingredient. Mixed together the brown sugar with the wet ingredients and poured them on at the end. As well as added cilantro with lime juice before serving. Will make again!

Not loving this particular recipeWhen the recipe called for 4 oz of noodles, I knew something was wrong, and then when the egg went in first, I felt more wrong about the dish. This was the worst Pad Thai dish I have ever made, and I've made about 3 previously that were awesome, and have had Pad Thai a million times. This recipe is lacking in so many ways, and I can only expect that someone who has never ever had Pad Thai may think it's good. It was all wrong on every level. Not making this one again, and trying to forget I ever did. Sorry EW..while many of your recipes are great; this one is just nasty.

I made this as called for and thought it was delicious. More veggies such as chopped broccoli, carrots and cilantro would be a great addition!

More veggies I would use 1 cup of scallions instead of half a cup, 1 chopped onion, and carrot sticks. It will also add more color to it. And garnish with cilantro. Pros: good flavor, healthy, easy to make Cons: not enough vegetables and too many noodles

delicious! This was easy to make...took me less than 40 minutes. I got the ingredients prepared while the noodles were soaking and then it was just stir-fry from there. It was a tiny bit spicy for my weak pallet...but my fiance loved it. Who knew pad thai could be easy and healthy! Pros: Easy, tasty and makes enough for 2- 3 Cons: Spicy

Fantastic and easy! This was so good, and easy too! Kind of difficult to mess up, I used chicken instead of shrimp and it was wonderful! Will definitely add to weeknight rotation. Pros: Easy, tasty

This has become a family favorite! I use chicken instead of shrimp sometimes. My picky eater even goes back for seconds.

This dish was amazing! I added some cloud ear mushrooms, fresh Thai basil and cilantro I had on hand, and I like really spicy food, so I added in 3 Thai red chillies and some siracha sauce. It was a big hit!!
