Simple Pad Thai

Posted on July 4, 2007
Filed Under My Cooking |

I was going to take a day off from cooking this Independence Day, but was tempted to do a simple Pad Thai. I didn’t use the traditional rice noodles, but some rice vermicelli I had lying around. I only added ingredients I liked, tofu, eggs, scallions, and left out bean sprouts. The Pad Thai stir-fry sauce was also made from scratch using fish sauce. In my haste, I forgot that I had shrimps available, but this dish wasn’t missing it at all.
