Excellent recipe I used dried rice noodles and regular basil instead of Thai. I used lemon in place of lime and followed the recipe as illustrated. I was completely surprised how wonderful the flavor of this dish turned out! Will be making again.
Wow......this recipe is over the top delicious. I did not have palm sugar so I substituted brown sugar. I added some broccoli and mushrooms and only 1/2 package of dried wide rice noodles. If you are not used to using dried noodles, the best thing to do with these rice noodles is to pour boiling water over them and let them sit 3-8 minutes until tender. Then, drain and let them sit in cold water until you are ready to add them to the pan. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe. I was craving Thai food and was extremely happy to create something so authentic in my own home--for a LOT less money. I highly recommend using Thai basil in this recipe--it has amazing flavor!
I made this last night because we had some fish sauce and it seemed neat. It was super salty but AWESOME. I did reduce the amount of noodles to 1/2 bag add carrots instead of red pepper and cilantro instead of basil but only because that is what I had on hand. I can't see how you could really mess this up adding/subtracting "chunks" in this recipe because the sauce is so good.
Loved it but it was incredibly salty. Made my five year old cry. Would cut the fish sauce and soy sauce in 1/2. Is fairly spicy which my husband and older son loved.
This one is a keeper! Everyone loved it! It even rivaled the Pad Kee Mow that I order at my favorite local Thai restaurant. It was quick easy and fabulous! I followed the recipe exactly except that I didn't have quite enough Thai basil and substituted 1 cup regular basil. It was just the right level of spiciness for me. I usually order medium at Thai restaurants. Also - brand/style of fish sauce can make a huge difference. I tried Phad Thai with some milky looking fish sauce - it was disgusting. Squid brand fish sauce is what a Thai friend recommended. It's a clear brown that is much milder and not scary at all.
Very Tasty and easy to cook!
I made a few minor adjustments- used dried rice noodles regular sugar and regular basil. I used thin rice noodles because that's what I had on hand but in the future would definitely use wide. First of all the flavor was AWESOME!! But like pretty much everyone else said ridiculously salty (and I used reduced sodium soy sauce too). The flavor really makes it worth it but I would love to find a way to cut back on the saltiness of this dish.
This recipe was very flavorful and delicious! I used regular basil (instead of Thai Basil) and white sugar (instead of palm sugar). It couldn't have been better! This recipe is spicy due to the red pepper, so reduce or omit if you don't like spicy food. Cheers!
Very delicious... way to many noodles however.
Holy hot! It was too spicy to eat! If the pepper was adjusted this may have been a really good recipe.
