We love this!!! we have spent 2 months in Thailand in the last 5 years, and whether this tastes like "real" Pad Thai, or not, it's is quick, easy and tastes Great. It's easy to add whatever is handy to change it up a bit, ie... 1/2 tsp crushed red peppers or a different dressing etc...

Pretty nice recipe
Going on a overnighter in two days, planning on doubling this for my patrol.

Yes, throw sesame dressing on some noodles and call it pad thai. Such a disservice to pad thai. Maybe call it easy sesame noodles. Or easy peanut noodles. But this recipe has NOTHING to do with pad thai.
