Pad Thai

Pad Thai is a Thai dish of stir fried rice noodles with eggs, fish sauce, tamarind juice, chili and any combination of shrimp, chicken, tofu, bean sprout and peanuts. Snow White wanted to try cooking this dish since last month but we cannot get the Thai grass noodle till this week. She cooked according to this recipe.

Hmm…the taste is there but the noodle turn out a bit soggy. This probably due to over cook while trying to fry the eggs as we did not have high heat stove.
