March 31, 2010 - Pad Thai


Pad thai is a relatively simple dish - preparing the ingredients take a while, but putting it together at the end happens quickly in one pan.  Here is the recipe.  I've seen pad thai done wrong in so many restaurants that I'm very skepital to try them in restaurants where authenticity is not a sure thing, so it's nice to be able to make it at home.  I've even seen ketchup used as a base for the sauce, and that is just wrong...

As a fresh touch to the dish, I used the chives from our "balcony garden" which consists of a couple planters with mostly unsuccessful plants.
