Special occasion

Could've used a little bit more sauce. Next time I think I would add more veggies too and perhaps bean sprouts.

Kathy Randall· 3 weeks ago

I did not add chili flakes, still delicious.

Jeremy Schmalz· last month

I like is sauce so I normally triple the sauce.

I used 1 lb of chicken and to make it a little more spicy we added 3/4 tsp of cayenne pepper into the sauce. I would personally omit the cilantro and add more green onion.

Good go-to sauce recipe, minus one tbs sugar. I improvised the rest. (Mushroom, leek, spinach, red pepper, chicken, noodles, egg.). My grocery store doesn't support my proper-pad-thai addiction ;)

Needed to 3x the recipe to have enough sauce for the whole pack of rice noodles. Reduced the sugar and the Sriracha.

Emily Blake· last year

Good recipe! I reduced the brown sugar to 3 tablespoons and may even do 2 next time. I’ll also plan on doubling the sauce to make it more saucy. Will be making again!

I would add shredded carrot and purple cabbage for more veggie and extra crunch. I’d also add some extra spice to the seasonings.

Seema Desai Kumar· 2 years ago

Made with tofu. It was delicious, but I will add a little red pepper for a touch of spice. Still very flavorful!

Emily Joy· 2 years ago

We used twice the protein it calls for. Less sugar & added red pepper flakes because it needed for heat for us. But really good

A· 2 years ago

Only used 3 tbs brown sugar

Chelsea Eaton· 2 years ago

Double the sauce recipe! It was too dry with the amounts they say to use.

kilah ivany· 2 years ago

Double the sauce, except for the sugar

Caitlin Huber· 2 years ago

So so good I love it and make it regularly ❤️

Tracy· 2 years ago

Excellent. Agreed with previous reviewer, used only 1 1/2 Tbls of brown sugar instead of 5 the recipe called for. Added shredded slaw for extra crunch.

Lindsey K· 2 years ago

Don't need that much sugar
