I had mine with a glass of Pinot Noir.
I adapted this recipe from Epicurious by beefing up the sauce a bit, it was a little too sparse for my taste!.

Such a pretty dish! Plus you used Pinot Noir so you have some double P’s here! Always my pleasure to come say hello. Looks so delicious!

I have enjoyed this dish in restaurants with my daughter but never thought of trying to make it myself. if it is as easy as you say then I think I will give it a go.
Jim says
This sounds really good. If I made it I would have to leave out the peanuts. I like Thai food but I do have to watch for peanuts quite closely.

Yummmmm. I haven’t had pad thai in a very long while. If only I had rice noodles, I could make your recipe for dinner tonight.

I like the ingredients and it looks simple to make. Thanks! PS Can you keep fish sauce in the fridge after opening? I’ve never used it.
Laurie Kazmierczak says
Sounds simple for an exotic dish♪
Eden Hills says
I’ve never had Thai food, but this sounds yummy. I’m up for anything that takes a lot of eggs right now.
EG CameraGirl says
Yum, this sounds like something my husband would like too!
Jim says
This does sound tasty, Ms. RMW. I think bonza beans or a colorful bean mix would be okay to sub for the peanuts, don’t you? I can’ eat nuts or seeds, etc.
It might serve 3-4? I’m judging by the ingredients, five eggs especially.
I like your backsplash (below) with the horses. Yours looks good on that shelf. And, we cook with propane also. When we moved here, had it built like you did, that’s all there was. We are now, after 15 years preparing to change over to Natural Gas.

I made it tonight and it was excellent! A keeper, for sure.
You wouldn’t have a good recipe for pad sie euw — or however it is spelled in English?
Jenny Matlock says
aCCCKKK!!!! I can’t find your caffeine addiction post! I’m a dork apparently.
However.
Caffeine non-withstanding, we love Pad Thai. This recipe is now officially bookmarked!
I like your site re-do.
You really made it look clean and modern!
Thanks for linking to the letter C, even though this isn’t your actual link.
Sigh.
Hugs and
