Additional Information

I discovered this recipe by accident.  It was one of those Saturday afternoons when our family had spend the whole day busily exploring and a relaxing evening was in order.  Since it was the end of the week as I looked in the fridge to see what we had, I discovered it was very sparse with only a few fresh ingredients to choose from.  What I did find were some shredded  carrots, onions, scallions and shredded cabbage.  I checked out our pantry next, and to my discovery I saw a box of brown rice noodles.

One of those purchases I buy to try out if I ever get around to finding a great recipe to use it with.  I was pleased to know that the box had a recipe right on the back!

Lets see oil, garlic, eggs and lemon juice check, fish sauce actually check! scallions check, frozen shrimp check… lets see no peanuts or bean sprouts.  That’s when I had an idea…. see the variations I made to make this recipe awesome.  After the rest of the family woke up from their long afternoon nap… I was happy to realize I had discovered a new comfort food for the family!  Again I’ve made some adjustments to this recipe so you can assure that the ingredients make this a healthful alternative to most restaurant pad thai dishes.
