Glad you enjoyed it! My husband was really impressed too 🙂
I LOVE pad thai and yours looks so incredibly tasty! Great choice for SRC – glad to be part of group C with you!
Looks amazing! Great choice…
Mariel, We tried this last weekend and it was fabulous. It was as good, if not better, than dishes we have had in Thai restaurants.
We are cousins (I’m Liz’s oldest) and I often look at your website and enjoy cooking some of the recipes. Thank you.
I am so glad you enjoyed this one! It’s always nice when you can recreate takeout at home. Thank you so much for your kind comment – I hope you’re well down south (and warm!). It’s frigid up here…
Just wanted to let you know, I use so many of your recipes. Thank you so much for sharing and I have been enjoying your meals for the past five years. This one in particular, is a family favorite.
That’s so wonderful to hear. Thank you for taking the time to say so!
