Tofu Pad Thai
I've been on a wild romp to find ingredients for the perfect Pad Thai (the Thai restaurant I used to go to all the time was shut down by the Health inspector...awkward). I've tried tons and tons of recipes for Pad Thai, and this one I improvised is the one I wind up liking best. If you're either very strictly traditional or else extremely flexible, this might not be the recipe for you. But if you want it to taste the way they make it in restaurants here in the States, this is the closest I've been able to manage it. Here are the ingredients, where to find them, and what to do with them according to how I make my pad thai.
