*SHAKES FIST TO THE HEAVENS*
"YOU WILL NOT BEAT ME PAD THAI!"
OK, I have tried at least 3 4 other times to make this Pad Thai.
First the Fu went missing. We figure that Sam thought it was feta cheese and tried to gnaw through the packaging.
Bought more tofu.
Second attempt. Bean sprouts kind of went bad in the fridge.
Third attempt. No bean sprouts. Babysitter cooked them up for Sam who, for a non-verbal kid, made it very clear he really, really wanted them.
Fourth attempt (yesterday) No cilantro, no limes. Mr. Qwerty used the cilantro in a salad he made (he was so pleased with himself) and the limes, well, we are not sure what happened to them.
I went to the store today to get limes and cilantro. Started making this so it would be ready when the Bachelor started and discovered we did not have any green onions.
ARGGGGH!
But I have decided that this recipe will not beat me and made it anyway without the scallions.
Mr. Qwerty and I really liked this. I can only imagine how good it would be with the onions
I added shrimp and cabbage (and would add more next time). I was worried that there wasn't enough Pad Thai sauce for the noodles (I used vermicelli noodles), but it gave a really delicate flavoring to them. I am not sure it I would double the sauce or not. And we forgot the cashews -- oh well, there is always next time!
