Sooooo good... I used sliced firm tofu instead of shrimp.. omitted the fish sauce (didn't have any) and used olive oil instead of canola. Quick, easy, spicy and delish!!! (the tofu fell apart once I tossed it with the sauce and noodles but I didn't mind!.) Satisfied my pad thai craving (and was so quick to make!)

My lips were burning and my sinuses opened. Deliciously spicy! The DH liked it too. No way this serves 4, though. I didn't have any rice noodles, so I used a pack of ramen soup noodles, and it barely made for a respectable amount for two. Didn't have any bean sprouts, but some sweet red pepper slices filled in nicely. Thanks for posting, Kasha. This was a (SPICY) treat!
