Thanks! You sound like me - when I like something (or am CRAVING something), I won't shut up about it! Does your husband like that kind of food? CourtneyInControl - Thanks! :D I like to use old wedding photos. Steven did seem proud of me. Even though he added to it when he came down after his run. diane - I didn't use reduced sodium sauce! I haven't tried that! Have you? I wonder if it tastes the same. Hmm. Erin - The recipe is easy because we don't use the traditional Thai noodles. But I KNOW what you mean - it's a lot of work if you do it traditionally. I love to order out! tori – Ha ha ha. Thanks!

Regardless, my hubby and I eat Thai food at least once a week...but I tend to order out instead of make it myself. I've made Pad Thai before but it's such a hassle. If your Pad Si Ew recipe is easy to make I'd be all about trying it! I like Pad Si Ew but prefer Pad Thai.

Do you use a reduced-sodium soy sauce? I am just wondering. I love my Thai food but have noticed when I eat too much of it I puff up like a balloon. :( I thought it was totally yummy too!

Cute little baby corn! :D I've gone to the Thai store in Chicago to pick up the specialty noodles too, but for convenience, we usually use the flat lasagna ones. I love how chewy the Thai ones are! Denise - He can definitely pick it out, although, it IS one of the key ingredients, so it will probably alter the taste quite a bit. Actually, let me rephrase that - it should be fine if you still cook it with the broccoli, is what I mean. If you took it out, the proportions would be messed up. I have to say it though I CRAVE broccoli! I cannot imagine not liking it! LOL - I am laughing at your chopstick comment. I like to use them because it makes me eat slower! But when I get down to the little bits, I have to grab my fork or it akes me <i>forever</i> to finish! kapgar - Now I know! You never know with people. My mom and grandma thought it was TOO spicy!!! Jo - I hadn't had Thai until last year! I didn't know ANYTHING about it, and I am not even sure if there was a Thai restaurant where I grew up. Let me know if you try it sometime and find a dish you like! Mrs. Smith - Steven tackles ethnic dishes with full force. He keeps trying and trying until he gets it right. I am more like you - afraid to try! This recipe is kind of easy though, if you have all the veggies chopped and prepared, so I think it will help! java - I wish we had a wok too! We are yet to experiment much with tofu! I can't wait to share it with you! Have a wonderful relaxing Easter!

Yum yum yum! I am always too scared to try a lot of ethnic dishes at home...I don't think I will ever be able to recreate the magic seasonings and perfect explosions of flavor and yumminess in my kitchen. Okay, that's probably not true, I just have ethnic-food-making-a-phobia. When this recipe is ready to be posted...I'm hoping you can help cure me of this. :) I LOVE thai food! Yum yum yum!

I won't try it because I don't like cruciferous veggies, BUT...I think it's great to come across recipes on blogs. I have never had any Thai--I live under a rock. I think you should post the recipe.
