Experiment
for tasty pad Thai 11-06-09
Pad Thai is a classic that
hits on all taste levels. It's sweet, sour, salty and bitter all in one.
Making it at home takes a little effort, but once you do, it will become
part of your repertoire. You can experiment, as I did, with different
ingredient combinations and learn to adjust the sauce to your own taste.
