This recipe is amazing. The v first time i made it, all my family and friends raved that it was better than all the thai restaurants. I did however add a lil tamarind juice to get the real pad thai flavor. It is only about 2 dollars in most stores. Just ask someone who works at the store where it is because it is hard to find on your own. I also reduced the fish sauce down a couple tablespoons and same with the lime juice because the tamarind has a sweet and sour taste to it already. I definetly suggest that you try this recipe. REVISED: So I have made this about 20 times by now and i think i have it perfected. First of all, if you are feeding a family of six, like mine, the recipe should be doubled. Also, I know this seems like overkill but I add a packet of pad thai seasoning to the liquid mixture and it makes the sauce just perfect. I also think it helps the sauce thicken up a little. The sauce packet should be near the asian sauces at the store and is usually like 1 dollar. I also suggest that you do not omit any ingredients. For example, the green onion, cilantro, and bean sprouts really make this pad thai worth making. I also add about 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the sauce and about triple the chili sauce because we love sweet and spicy food.
