The tamarind paste is a key ingredient, one I have seen left out in Western recipes. Usually it is served with tofu too, even if shrimp or chicken is also included. I thought her play by play was hilarious and was laughing out loud when I read it to Greg. Your new tool would be very handy in making Phad Thai, give it a try. :) Kathy,

She just made a (looks yummy if complicated) Pad Thai and I'd love to know if it looks authentic. I've been meaning to ask how I was supposed to use my Christmas presents. Thanks for the photo demonstration! :) Tina - do me a favor and check this site:

Tim, do you even have to ask? Bring everyone on over! I will even go light on the chili paste, just for you. I just noticed that I used 1 kg of chicken and 4 cups of veggies. Mixing my measurements, oh well, that is what you get when you take an Imperial system girl like me and plop her into a metric country. :) Sandy, you are right, toasting the cashews does make them much tastier, but sometimes I am lazy and Greg will eat them however he can get them.

I'm <i>very</i> fond of chili paste (in moderation) but (as you may remember) a spice-sissy. Can we come over for dinner? That looks like it would really clear the sinuses! (A bunch of us are sick, this week). MMmmmmmm, that looks tasty. I’m very fond of chili paste (in moderation) but (as you may remember) a spice-sissy.

I almost made this dish tonight, but we spent too much time at the park with Beth and kids. I use the same ingredients and love that chili paste. Can't go back to the bland taste at most restaurants:-). One other thing I do is fry the cashew nuts before starting and they are nice and crunchy. Have a great day! Sandy Hi Tina,
