My recipe is my version of this recipe. I made a few changes to make it more to our liking. This is so good . . Vince always asks when we can have it again! Don’t ask me why the carrots are all on one side of the dish!

Had Thai food for the first time tonight! Should have ordered something with tofu since I’m not cooking anything with it this week. Hot and Sour Soup was my first recipe thought! Yum! I will have to try your recipe. Chef suggested Basil Fried Rice for a first dish. It was delishous! DH want Pad Thai, but was discouraged as a first dish. Maybe homemade is the place to start! Any suggestions for another visit?

It looks good, but many of the items used in this recipe are not on my shelf. I am not participating this week, because believe it or not we have not been to a grocery store or wal-mart since you announced this weeks challenge..

Mmmmm… that sounds really good! We had sushi and gyouza for dinner. I wish I had thought to take pictures as I was making the gyouza. The main ingredient in mine is tofu. Oops!

Have not made that for awhile. Your recipe looks good. Thinking that, some Tom Yum soup, maybe some satay.

I love Pad Thai. I have never dared to use fish sauce, for I once lived in an apartment with Asian neighbors downstairs….when they cooked with fish sauce the smell nauseated me terribly. So I’m wondering if the smell bothers you? Does it smell up the house and linger for days?
