Pad Thai (lunch)

by Irene Lindvall


This will be my last post for a week as we head off to paradise! No recipes for eight days - I feel I've earned it with all the double days of recipes. Today, I made a fairly quick pad Thai dish from the America's Test Kitchen. I served it for lunch before we left for the airport, but I could easily see it being a dinner dish as well. I think this dish was tastier than my last attempt at pad Thai three weeks ago. Previously I cooked it in the wok and this time everything was done in a regular pan. I also think the sauce was much tastier in this recipe. Eric hates pad Thai from restaurants that use ketchup as their sauce base so I am happy to have found a recipe that is so tasty and easy to make that he really enjoys. 

Things I learned from this recipe:

I am happy to report I did not forget the lime wedges with this dish. It was a close call but I did remember and it really is a necessary garnish.

Would I make this recipe again?:

Definitely

The recipe:

Someone else made the exact same recipe from the America's Test Kitchen and was kind enough to post all of the ingredients on her blog.
