Pad Thai
We have it on good authority that tonight's meal is very similar to real
Pad (Paad? Phat?) Thai. Before tonight, we had never had this dish
ourselves, but it looked good when
Sara Moulton prepared it on Cooking
Live. It took quite some time to prepare, but it was well worth it.
Having followed an existing recipe almost exactly, we'll have to make this
dish again, making it more our own.
