    Our family found the fish sauce overwhelming in this dish and the ratio of sauce to noodles seems too much. This totally killed it and required the egg to be partially cooked outside the wok before adding. Our first mob recipe fail out of very many we love. Sorry.

    Hi Rebecca! Thanks for the feedback - glad to hear you're loving mobs recipes, we'll look at retesting the fish sauce levels in this one and take another look at the sauce ratio. Thanks for reaching out.

    Hi Rebecca! Just wanted to update you - we've retested this in the kitchen and haven't made any changes. We've found that tamarind paste, soy sauce and fish sauce differ a lot depending on the brands. To help accommodate to your taste, you can season the noodles with the fish sauce instead. For best results, make sure to use Chinese dark soy sauce and tamarind puree (not tamarind concentrate.) Hopefully this helps :)

    Spot on! Except, to give the tofu a but more flavour, I added it to the sauce after searing them. This has made me so happy! Was forced to move out of London due to financial reasons and now I live in the middle of nowhere. I missed Pad Thai so much. Now I can make it myself!

    Unfortunately I don't think this scales that well, in particular the pad Thai sauce. I doubled it to serve 4, and the sauce was very watery. 8 eggs seemed like a lot, so I kept it to 1 egg/person and I'm glad I did. Also not the best to cook in a wok as you can't move stuff to the side to cook the eggs as there was too much sauce. I cooked them separately. Also the picture has coriander in it but not in the ingredients. I added some at the garnishing and it transformed the dish.

    This was my first Mob recipe to make and it was delicious! I used half the amount of Tamarind paste and I’m glad I did, as it’s quite strong. The crunchy peanuts make it extra nice!

    Loved this recipe! Used chicken instead of prawns, and changed a few ingredients but final result was as delicious 💕
