This is my take on pad thai recipe. What I put here is my preferences. The recipe call for either fresh or dried noodle. In this recipe, I preferably use fresh rice noodle over the dried one. I wanted the end result fresh and chewy noodle. Nothing right, nothing wrong, it's all about our personal preference. If you could find the fresh pho noodle, use it. The fresh pho noodle is best for pad thai. You pay a little more, but it will paid off in the end. We will pre-made the sauce before hand. Pre-made sauce will make cooking pad thai easy and delicious. I hope you enjoy the taste of pad thai made with this recipe.
