We're on the NC coast with fresh shrimp, so it was perfect! Can't compare it to any other recipes since it's my first taste, but I will say that it was delicious, easy, and my husband, who doesn't really care for Asian food because of some 'traveling food fiascos', gave it a hearty thumbs up, which means, \Let's have it again.\ You were absolutely right about having all the ingredients ready before beginning to cook. It all happens in a hurry! Thank you for a great dinner!

Like I said...there are a lot of different takes on Pad Thai--some more authentic than others. The charge for this post was to cook Victoria Blashford-Snell and Brigitte Hafner's recipe by the numbers, which is exactly what I did. My own recipe for pad thai is a lot hotter and also includes tamarind. If your friend would share their recipe, by all means please post it back up here, so folks can have another version to try. All that said, this dish was still really, really good. Cheers! +Jessie Hey Mike,

You were half right.. you need the Fish Sauce, but you need Tamarind Concentrate to give that other flavor to it, not Oyster Sauce. Looks like your pan was way too cold, since you were cooking eggs like it was breakfast and you put your sauce into your eggs.. you should have put in your noodles first and then pour your sauce over that to coat the noodles, not the eggs. Sorry, just know this isnt correct, since I have a thai friend whos family owns a thai restaurant. I dont really consider this Pad Thai.. there is no oyster sauce in it.
