Nice recipe. Traditional pad thai is made with several hard to find ingredients, and I never thought ketchup would be a suitable substitute for some of these. Turns out it's a great sub. My tip: skip the boiling water for the noodles. Just put them in a bowl of very hot tap water while you prep the rest of the dish. They'll be perfectly al dente when you are ready to cook them. Boiling risks over-cooking the noodles which makes for a gummy mess of a dish. Also, fish sauce is crucial IMO. It may stink, but it adds a depth of flavor to the overall dish that you can't get with soy.

This was SO good! I'm not sure why some people didn't like it. It really is restaurant-quality pad thai. Per other reviews, I substituted the fish sauce for soy sauce, added 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, and doubled the sauce. You MUST double the sauce. The only criticism I have is that I was SLIGHTLY tangier than I thought it would be, so I think next time I'll just put less lime juice. I added chicken, just as a personal preference. This was super easy to make and my entire family loved it! Will definitely make again.

very good BUT needs some of those changes others suggested. It was too sour so I added more sweetener, almond butter (peanut allergies in my home) and some sesame oil too. Next time, I'll lessen the sour ingredients.

In my attempt to copy the best take-out pad thai ever, I made this recipe. The only major substitution I made was soy for the fish sauce, plus I added some peanut butter to the sauce. It turned out WAY BETTER than the take-out pad thai. NO MORE TAKE OUT FOR US!!!!! My kids even loved it, but I will back off the red pepper next time (family preference). I loved the spice, but it was a bit much for them. THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!

Very yummy dish made with many of the other reviewer's suggestions including adding chicken. Also added 1 T peanut butter to the sauce, a pinch extra sugar and cut the fish sauce with soy sauce (i used 1:1 soy sauce and fish sauce instead of 1 full 1/4 C fish sauce)

Whew! I just made this and my lips are on fire. The amount of red pepper flakes sure does the job. I'm not sure how much I liked the whole brownsugar, lime and ketsup mixture, It was a little too much like BBQ (I didn't add fish sauce, I used gluten free soy instead) I think in the future I'll be looking for another recipe to use. Overall it tastes nothing like Pad Thai I've had at Thai restaurants.

Anybody else get confused and screw up making this based on the way the instructions were written???? The way step 2 reads, I mixed the egg, kept reading then added the lime juice, ketchup... etc. Got to the end of the sentence and saw it was supposed to be in a separate bowl. It should read: 2. Beat Eggs with a pinch a salt. In a separate bowl mix together Lime Juice, Ketchup ... etc. Despite screwing it up it did tasted pretty good so I will give it 4/5 stars. I found it need more sugar and improvement on direction. Then again, maybe I am just slow or something.
