Easy Pad Thai Noodles

1 July 2012 - Easy Pad Thai

Since Pad Thai is listed at number 5 on World's 50 most delicious foods readers' poll compiled by CNN Go in 2011, I have to cook it. That's what I thought back then...

Note to myself: "You must tailored the sauce into your own taste, anyway it is a mouth watering dish.."

The recipe is from About Food
