Vegetarian Pad Thai

Not a vegetarian recipe, it contains 'fish sauce'. Try relabeling it as 'Vegetable Pad Thai'.

I liked this recipe but not half as much as the other pad thai recipe with coconut milk. I used a bit more than 1/2 sweet thai chili sauce and a little less than half sirracha, and I cut the brown sugar in half, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Portion sizes are ample, and it's very filling. Served with some steamed broccoli with a drizzle of sesame oil on top.

I substitute all thai sweet chili sauce and love it, as does my husband and 4 yr old.

I agree that this recipe shouldn't be called vegetarian as written. That said, I used this recipe as a guide and the dish turned out well. I added broccoli and lightly sauteed napa cabbage instead of bean sprouts. I used sriracha but used only about 1/3 cup because sriracha is so spicy.

Uck. If you know what really good Phad Thai tastes like DO NOT try this recipe. You will hate it. It is absolutely because of the Heinz Chili Sauce. I almost pitched it but decided to smother it with more cilantro, sprouts, lime and peanuts. Was barely edible. I should have listened to my inner voice in the store telling me to buy the Thai Chili Sauce instead, but I trusted the 5 star reviewers. BIG mistake.

Soooo yummy. Not complicated. Some ingredients not easy to find, but easy to substitute. I used stir fry egg noodles instead of rice noodles and jalapeno pepper instead of seranno chile.

How is this vegetarian with fish sauce in it? I was excited to see a "vegetarian" pad thai recipe but once I read the ingredients was quickly disappointed...............

This recipe was so ketchup-y tasting! As soon as I put in the sauce I was overwhelmed with the smell of cooking ketchup, so unappealing and not authentic at all. This tasted nothing like real Pad Thai, just another cheap and quick version I was seduced into making and totally disappointed in in the end.

This was good and pretty easy to make. I used a Thai Chili Garlic sauce and added mushrooms and broccoli to the veggies at the end. I think it made way more than the 6 servings. I thought it had just the right amount of spiciness. I liked the flavor though my husband felt it needed more sauce. Overall was good and healthy but I was not wowed enough to serve to company.

This recipe is great. I love knowing what goes into it. I use brown rice noodles and cut back on the brown sugar.

This is a great recipe. Several people have mentioned using Thai sweet chili sauce in place of the Heinz. I've discovered a better strategy: use 1/3 c Heinz, 1/3 c Thai sweet chili sauce. It creates the perfect sauce--using all Heinz or all Thai sweet chili doesn't taste quite right.

We make this regularly because it's quick, simple, tasty, and Thai (mmmm Thai food). Fish sauce creeps me out so I leave that out and it still comes out really well.

Delicious! I used only 1 tablespoon of fish sauce. I don't like it too fishy. I added shrimp and tofu. I used about 1 cup of sprouts. It was the perfect amount of sauce. It's going to make a great lunch tomorrow, too. BTW, I followed the advice of on this board and used sweet chili sauce from the asian aisle and red curry paste. I think it made a huge difference in the finished dish. Overall, this recipe is a keeper. Next time, I'll try it with chicken. Enjoy!
