  This was really delicious and very quick. I used regular egg noodles instead of pad thai and it was fine. My husband came in late and ate it cold and it was delicious. The combination of the lime juice (it's worth buying a lime, not using juice from a bottle) and the fish sauce created a wonderful flavour. I added some broccoli florets too.

  This was really quick to make and very tasty. I found the pad thai noodles went soggy with the additiion of the egg, so would probably leave out the egg or use medium nooodles instead

  I used Japanese soba noodle, tofu and thinly cut sweet red pepper, with a bit of finely chopped medium red chili the other day, and it was delicious, too!

  I found this very disappointing. It was quite dry, because of the "straight-to-wok" noodles, and the fish sauce was the predominant flavour. If I did this again I would half the amount of fish sauce, would use dried noodles and would add some more liquid. As it's currently written-up I didn't find this recipe worked.

  We both really enjoyed this, though it was on the dry side - I'm not an experienced cook so not entirely sure how to adapt it - but we will cook it again that's for sure.

  I added some chopped spring onions and red chilli to give it a bit more of a kick and a splash of colour.

  I added some chilli to give it a little 'kick'. It is also really important that it is served immediately before the noodles go stodgey. A good quick recipe.

  We added spring onions and it was gorgeous. Cooking it again tomorrow night - I reckon it'll taste even better this time cos it's such a sunny weekend!

  We had this tonight and it was very quick and easy. I don't much like straight-to-wok noodles so I cooked some flat rice noodles (like the picture) an dit just took an extra 10-15 minutes. I used some frozen ready cooked prawns and the ice off them made the pot really watery so they boiled rather than fried so I'd recommend defrosting and patting them dry before using frozen prawns to avoid this. Apart from that it was great!

  I cook this almost every other week now, so quick, tasty and cheap! I wouldn't adapt the recipe as it is very authentic to the true Thai original.

  I followed the recipe pretty much to the t. I thought it was good, very good for something I prepared in 10 minutes but not as good as the local thai take away! :)

  Good for something quick - I added some tamarind paste loosened with about a tbsp of water to add extra thai flavour and prevent it from being too dry. Nice with a fresh red chilli as well and tofu is a good alternative.

  I really enjoyed this. I added chopped green chillies as I'm a bit of a chilli addict.
