Easy Pad Thai

I LOVE Thai food! Since we don't have any Thai restaurants in Brazil I often make this recipe for Pad Thai. It's not supposed to be the most authentic recipe in the world, it's supposed to be an easy version you can put together from stuff in your pantry. We love it and make it often! It's from How to Cook Without a Book by Pam Anderson. http://www.amazon.com/How-Cook-Without-Book-Techniques/dp/0767902793 Every time we make it for guests they love it because it's so different and unexpected. We use chicken and at least double the bean sprouts. We don't have fish sauce so I substitute soy sauce...not sure if it's a good idea but it's still tasty! We also cut the red pepper flakes in half and add a bit more of the sauce recipe so it's a little wetter. Give it a try! (click to make it big)
