Pad Thai

Pad Thai is one of my favorite dishes and definitely my go to dish when deciding if I like a Thai restaurant. I figured I should know how to make a pretty decent version since my funding has been diminishing. 

I checked out like 15 recipes and found the commonalities. Tamarind paste, soy sauce, broth, and chilli paste. I don't know whether soaking noodles for a long time or putting them in boiling water for under ten minutes is better but I tried the later and it was perfectly easy. 

Apparently there are no places in Corpus that sell fresh bean sprouts. I tried 3 grocery stores! Then when I went to the Asian market for tamarind paste, there they were!!! They are so fun to eat! 

Well the end result was too spicy for me...  :(

Then again I can hardly stand pepper as far as spicy goes. Next time I personally would not use chillis anymore but that's because I'm a total wuss! 

Dill even tried it! My eyes totally bugged out of my head! I expected him to say no way but he tried it! Wasn't his thing but I was totally impressed! Mission of getting him to try everything= accomplished another day!

Didn't remember to take many pictures this time... but here it is! Other than the spicy, it was perfect! absolutely Thai worthy.
