This recipe is missing a key ingredient, tamarind pulp. I don't think I'd call it Pad Thai without it. No doubt some found it bland. You can buy it at an Asian market, already pressed and strained in a jar. Mix it with the fish sauce, chili and sugar, in a pot over low heat for 10 minutes or so, then proceed as directed.

This was very easy to make and ideal for after work. I added an egg as lots of you suggested. It was a good dinner but not amazing - I will make again though as I think I can improve on my first attempt. I did use the thin rice noodles as I could not find the thick ones and I think thick would be far better.

Bit bland - not a favourite for me.

Easy to make and very tasty. A real family pleaser!

Really good recipe. Quick, easy and tasty. I added some chicken and egg, spot on.

I thought this was very average Mary. I feel this recipe should be called thai prawn noodle salad....bit disappointed.

This recipe was yummy, I added eggs and recommend others to do the same.

I thought it was okay... not great, though.

Definitely all the stars for this pad thai - really easy, really yummy. Added an egg at the end, like you do with fried rice, was brilliant.

So easy, so tasty. I make it again and again

Brilliant recipe, really fresh and delicious. A great easy and quick recipe for a weeknight!

Fantastic recipe..added a couple of chopped basil leaves too - superb recipe and so quick and easy!!

I was going to serve it on a bed of bok-choi but there wasn't any on the supermarket. So I added spinach and a little extra chili. Superb!

This is very yummy. I did omit the prawns because people in my family including myself are vegetarians. But I fried some eggs to go with, and everyone loved it.
