Ingredients

8 ounces dried rice noodle sticks
1/4 cup fish sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 pound peeled and de-veined raw shrimp, halved lengthwise
1/4 pound ground pork
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 large eggs
2 cups bean sprouts
2 cups sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped roasted unsalted peanuts
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the noodles with water to cover. Soak until just tender, about 45 minutes, then drain.

In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, vinegar, and sugar, and stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. Season the shrimp and pork with cayenne.

In a wok or large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and pork and cook until the shrimp are just cooked through and the pork is brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Add the eggs and cook, stirring, until just set, about 45 seconds. Add the sprouts, onions, fish sauce mixture, and noodles, and cook, stirring, until warmed through. Add the shrimp and pork, and peanuts, and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving platter and toss with the cilantro and lime juice. Serve immediately.

I used tofu instead of the pork and had to add a little extra broth to get the noodles cooked thru. It was very good.

This has always turned out well
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this Pad Thai to many times to count. I work as a full time firefighter and have made this by request so many... times and it has never been a disaster. You have to be careful with ingredients some fish sauce can be very strong so you should use a grocery store version not something you find at an Asian market. Also it calls for Rice Wine Vinegar which is hard to find but is the best choice. Rice Vinegar works OK but Rice Wine will ruin the recipe because it will not have the sour to balance out the other flavors. It comes in all three types so be careful. I always double the sauce amount and your noodles should be al dente before you add them. Hope this helps. FireRead more

Very good Pad Thai
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Not the peanut butter based Pad Thai I was expecting - BUT VERY FRESH AND FABULOUS. I will make it over again and again. I... left out the shrimp which didn't seem to matter - in fact, for those of us trying to head towards a meatless diet, this is a definate keeper.Read more

Without a doubt, this was the worst pad thai I've ever eaten. Follow the recipe, and it's sure to disappoint anyone with... taste buds. Don't waste your time with this one. Move on to the next recipe in your search. The one from Paula Dean wasn't too bad.Read more
