  1. […] Easy Pad Thai I’m not crazy about a lot of Asian dishes but Pad Thai is one thing I did enjoy while living in Thailand.  I’ve only had it a couple times since I’ve been back to the states and that’s going on 3+ years so when I found this recipe I was pretty stoked to try it out.  Me and my picky self actually enjoyed this quite a bit.  It provided great flavor and made a pretty good amount so I had plenty leftover.  One thing that I suggest is to eat it immediately after making it.  I let it sit for probably about 30 minutes since hubby ending up working late and the noodles soaked up the juice and was a little dry.  Other than that, give this a go.

    I made this tonight. I love the simplicity. Ingredients I have in the pantry! It’s not authentic but close enough. Still yummy! I added chicken breast. Thanks for sharing. This will be a regular.
