This recipe would have been a huge mess with all that peanut butter! Good thing I read the review and cut WAY back! Nice ingredients though besides that! Didn't have the peanuts so left those out.

I agree that this was not like the Thai restaurant I go to but it was similar to their peanut sauce. I made it exactly as posted and rated it at 4 stars. It was way too peanut buttery for my liking so I had to add an extra 1/4 cup milk and 1/8 cup soy sauce. I thinly sliced a large chicken breast, baked it then added it and the resulting chicken broth to the sauce. It became 5 stars! Husband already requested that I make it again. (He never says that.) I will reduce the peanut butter next time and re-taste it before adjusting it again.

I have used this recipe for about 5 years now. The only thing I've added recently was a dash of fish sauce to give it a bit more of an authentic Thai flavor. Other than that, I've used the recipe as-is and it is still one of the most demanded dishes in the house. Even my usually "meat-and-potatoes" in-laws ask for it!

Amazing! Added a bit of Tofu with the egg. Make sure to get the fresh lime, its worth it.

I can not possibly serve this to my family. I might as well add jelly to create a new recipe called peanut butter and jelly noodles. I'm sorry but this was terrible.

I love Phad Thai, but when I made this it didn't resemble what I am used to having in the restaurants. It was way too sweet and it had way too much peanut butter. I'm still learning to cook Thai food, so it was a learning experience that hopefully I can grow from.

Too much peanut butter and too much sugar. Also, it needed more spice. I'm sorry but I won't be making this again. If I did, I would recommend adding more milk/soy sauce to thin the peanut butter sauce out, using a fraction of the brown sugar, and adding frozen stir fry veggies for a variety of texture and color.
