we pretty much followed it exactly, but ommited the chili paste and the tofu. we used paprika too. It was delicious! It's not often we have Asian food at home, but this was better than any pad thai I've had at a restaurant here.

MMMMMM!!! Good stuff! This is definately going into the dinner rotation.

I loved this recipe and so did my boyfriend who ate tofu for the first time!

I hesitated with trying this recipe because I had no chili paste and the ketchup/paprika seemed out of place.  I've been dying for pad thai so I tried it anyways and am pleasantly surprised.  I had no peanuts so I added a tablespoon of crunchy peanut butter to the soy sauce mixture.  I also added some red pepper flakes to the noodles.  It was quick, incredibly easy to make, and delicious!!

I took wheat noddles, and made the sauce thicker with some cornstarch.
We all loved it!

YUM!
I used soba noodles (it was all I had) and added julienned carrots, sliced cabbage and an egg. One of the best vegetarian recipes i've ever used!

delicious!! I did not adhere to the recipe exactly, but most of my adjustments were so minor they are not really worth mentioning. i threw in some broccoli which i think was a good addition. i will definitely be making this one again!! thank you for this posting this rhetcompgirl!!

Wow! This was really good. I need to soak my noodles a bit longer next time, but other than that, it was great!! My bf just said to me, "you can make this anytime you want!" And I used the ketchup/paprika, which works out perfectly. Thanks for such a great recipe!!!

This was a good recipe, but it calls for way too much vinegar.  I cut it down to 1/2 cup and it was still too much.  Perhaps start out with 1/4 cup and work from there if your tastebuds are sensitive to vinegar.  Other than that, the food was tasty.

Didn't really measure anything, and it turned out great!
Used a little ketchup and thai/ chili seasoning, used alfalfa sprouts and lime juice.
Also added cilantro!

I definitely agree that there's way too much vinegar in this recipe.  If I make it again, I'll start out with much MUCH less like a previous post suggested.  My whole kitchen smelled like vinegar afterwards

This was great!  thanks!

Pretty good.  Somehow, we didn't notice too much vinegar like so many others have - but that may have been because I made it quite spicy - I subbed that chili sauce with a rooster on it for the chili paste, which I didn't have, and they're not equivalent in terms of spice.  I soaked the noodles about 40 minutes, but in the end, they tasted undercooked, so I think I must have used a kind that just takes longer to soak (they were wide rice stick, which is what I thought I was supposed to use, but I don't know).  I also had trouble with the tofu - I opted to bake it, and took the instruction to oil the pan "lightly" literally, and my tofu was extremely stuck after the first 15 minutes.  Next time, I would probably use a bit more oil, and also check it more often, maybe flipping it 3 times so it doesn't get stuck.  I only had salted peanuts to put on top, so I reduced the soy sauce to 1/4 cup, and the salt was just about perfect - any more might have been too much. 

I think this will probably be great when I make it again, now that I have a better idea how long to soak and cook everything.
