    The recipe was tasty. Listen to the other reviews and triple your sauce or more. I used bok choy and carrots for my veggies, which worked well. However, the method of just soaking the noodles left a slight floury taste in the end result - so word of advice follow the noodle cooking instructions on the packet and cook your noodles.

    This was just ok. Definitely double the sauce or it won't be enough. I think it needs more ginger - I even used more than what it called for and still think the overall flavor was lacking. I think I'll keep my eyes open for a better pad Thai recipe!

    This was very good! I too tripled the sauce but would probably quadruple next time (but not the peanut butter. Although as I re-read the recipe I realize that it only calls for 1/4 lb of noodles and I used a whole 1/2 lb box. THis served 4 people as a side dish.
