Believe it or not, I’ve never had Pad Thai. That ol’ peanut allergy kind of gets in the way. Whenever I hear my friends talk about going out for Thai food I feel a little jealous. I’ve always thought I’d really like it (I like noodles, I like lime, I like cilantro, etc..), but my allergy is so severe that even going in a Thai restaurant is uncomfortable for me.
Today, however, we decided to try this recipe and, although I have nothing to compare it to, I think it turned out quite well. (My co-conspirator has given it two thumbs up and she has eaten the “real deal” before, so that’s a good sign). This recipe even gives a vegan variation (we opted for the vegetarian version tonight, but will try the vegan one soon), and instead of peanuts we used chopped up almonds.
