"This is one of my favorite dishes when we got to a Thai restaurant. The recipe I have calls for pork and shrimp, but I like to make it with chicken."

Yum, yum, yum!! This was so good and so authentic! The layers of flavor were quite intriguing and before you know it the bowl is empty! This recipe made plenty for two. The only thing I did add was a tablespoon of ketjap manis because it wasn't really balanced to my palate with just the sugar.

This pad thai was delicious and spicy, even though it was a little too ketchup-y for my taste. Decently easy to prepare, as well. Thanks!

Really a good Pad Thai! My husband makes this one with jalapenos instead and it is great. Tip: make extra sauce. In case it seems dry you can add more at the end.

Not exactly what I'm used to, but still very good. Even my kids loved it! I would, however, suggest less chilis if you plan to serve to children.
