Another recipe for you, Doug, BC.
This is my rendition of a Mark Bittman recipe. I made
it vegetarian so that it fit in with my eating plan
but you can add ground cooked meat to this. To make it
more like pad thai, add some cooked shrimp.
I served it with a jar of chile paste and the spicy
soy sauce from Tabasco (got to use it up).
This was delicious.
