So, we've tried two pad Thai recipes so far. The first was based on this video (which we do not recommend you follow!!!):
That left us with a creamy kind of peanut butter poured over some vegetables. It also didn't help that we bought the wrong noodles. But it would have greatly helped if there were (even approximate) measurements posted somewhere for that video. As it turns out "A whole fucking lot" isn't as much as you might think.
Anyway... The recipe we tried this time turned out a lot better. The full recipe can be found here.
It turned out MUCH better, and even kept well enough for leftovers the next day! (It makes a lot...) We had some trouble tracking down "Corriander" so we just used Cilantro and sprinkled with a little bit of ground corriander seed.
As it turns out, Corriander smells/tastes a little bit like fruit loops. Try it!
Pad thai, I think, will be a recipe that I insist on doing again and again until I get it to taste delicious. Even if we go through some monstrous versions of it... But for now, the next time I make it I want to do an overhaul consisting of the following:
- No Corriander. Just Cilantro
- Put some extra peanuts in during the stir-frying section.
- More (perhaps 1.5 times as much?) sauce.
- Fry the noodles a little longer.
- Add some tofu.
