    My husband and I loved this recipe! It was simple to make and tasted amazing. It made too much for just 2 people but my husband took the leftovers to work for lunch the next day and said it was just as good the second day.

    Excellent recipe. I added 1/2 TB peanut butter for richness, a TB of minced ginger, a bit of red bell pepper for color, used regular mushrooms (shitakes are too expensive), and subbed spinach for lettuce. Otherwise, I made as written and we added some red pepper flakes at table. If planning a one-dish meal, this feeds three adults (unless they're very light eaters).

    Very good! I have been searching the past couple of months for a great Pad Thai recipe, so that I could introduce my husband to the dish. This is by far the best! I added diced red pepper and opted for chicken instead of tofu (but tofu would have been great!). I will definitely make this again and will make if for guests during a "theme night' dinner.

    Very tasty! I made some substitutions since I didn't have everything on hand. Used fettuccini in place of the rice sticks, brown suger in place of the mirin, and sriachi sauce in place of hot sauce. I also added shrimp. Would have given it 5 stars but the sauce was a little thin for my taste. Even still, the sauce was tasty. A weekend meal.

    Hands down the best pad thai recipe around! I also added 1 TB ginger and 1 TB peanut butter, and spinach, per another commenter's suggestion. Perfect and so much healthier than our favorite pad thai takeout!

    Pretty good recipe. I added peanut butter and ketchup and used shredded cabbage instead of romaine.

    Cook the noodles for only 1 minute? Yeah, right! I added the noodles and it took over 10 minute, plus I had to add cups of water, as the liquid was all gone. The flavor was good, but the recipe was not at all accurate. I will NOT make this Pad Thai again. There are far better recipes that are more accurate.

    Like others, I also added a TB of peanut butter, some ginger, and red bell pepper. One downside on this is that prep time makes it a bit time consuming. Also, not sure what AlyB was thinking...the recipe clearly states that the noodles should be "cooked and drained" beforehand. The recipe was actually quite accurate.

    AllyB - the noodles are supposed to be cooked beforehand and rewarmed in the dish. This is a tasty weeknight meal! note: I subbed cabbage for romaine and added rooster sauce to mine (its a bit too spicy for the kids). It is good with meat substitutions as well. I think its tastier than three stars, but would not make it for a special occasion.
