Pad Thai image

Thai noodles with peanuts and seafood. In Thailand, sugar and vinegar are seasonings on the table like salt and pepper. This dish would not be preseasoned in Thailand - however, most US restaurants serve it that way, but feel free to work with the sugar and vinegar to taste. The fish sauce is a must - if you do not like fish sauce, you don't like Pad Thai. This recipe is originally from William Crawford and Kamolmal Pootaraka's Thai Home Cooking: From Kamolamal's Kitchen.
