Pad Thai Attempt

Okay here is the deal, pad Thai is one of my all-time-favourite foods; however, I have never tried to make it myself. After my first attempt, I feel that I will probably never try again.

To be fair, it was not entirely from scratch. I was inspired to make it after finding a VH Thai Market Pad Thai sauce at the grocery store, since the sauce was only about 4$ , I picked it up, as well as a chicken breast and egg noodles and decided to give it a try.

In my defense, I think the chicken that I cooked in egg as well as the bean sprouts and onions turned out pretty well. The first problem was that the VH sauce tasted totally inauthentic , and the second was the noodles I cooked did not turn out that great either. They were sticky and maybe a bit overcooked (this was my first time making rice noodles as well).

I would be tempted to try another Pad Thai sauce , as I think that was the main reason the dish did not turn out how I imagined it. For now , I think I'll just get take out.

  1. I once had pad thai at a thai restaurant, and instead of chicken they used tofu. It was awesome, you should try it!
