We thoroughly enjoyed this, as it seemed to be a recreation of one of my favorite dishes to order from Chinese take-out - Singapore Mei Fun! I made this almost exactly as posted, but I had some green and purple peppers from the farm, so used that instead of red (which would have been more colorful). I also used 16 oz. of shrimp, because we really love it. This was surprisingly easy to put together and packed a lot of flavor. Made for Taste of Thai Menu Challenge of ZWT9 by a fellow Tasty Tester.

We enjoyed this curry for dinner last night. This makes a great weeknight meal since it comes together so quickly. It is also colorful and looks nice on the plate. The curry powder I used was a little on the hotter side, which I usually like, however this dish lends itself to a milder curry powder, I think. Made for ZWT9

You can never go wrong with an America's Test Kitchen recipe and this is a perfect example! This is just delicious. The noodles were done to my liking after 15 minutes so I suggest checking them and not taking the 20 minute cooking time as gospel. I thought that one whole onion sliced was waaay too much but, apparently, I know nothing. I forged on true to the recipe instructions and used the whole onion and I was pleasantly surprised. It was perfectly proportioned. This is a terrific Pad Thai dish. Personally, I would serve it with some additional lime wedges on the side (I like it zippy) and fresh cilantro. Excellent dish! Really excellent!
