Cooking With Richard

This is my second attempt to make pad thai.

In this version we went to great lengths to get the right ingredients and in fact I managed to source everything except the rather obscure banana flower. The garlic chives in particular were something of a revelation, tasting as they do of actual garlic.

I used three eggs instead of one. I used real Thai tamarind sauce and fish sauce. I made and used much more crushed peanuts. And I adjusted the noodles to match the number of people.

The result was a big improvement on the first attempt but not exactly like pad thai from the Faltering Fallback.
