Authentic Pad Thai Recipe!
I've always had a contentious relationship with Pad Thai. I always crave it but most of the times, when I get it I get disappointed. It might be too sweet or too sour or even too mushy. So I set off on an adventure to make my own. My oh my was that the trick! This recipe, albeit a little tedious with the more elusive ingredients, was so simple to make! If you like pad thai, you'll want to make this. If you hate pad thai, you'll want to make this and change your mind. Enjoy!
