Loving the fact that HARPOON’s UFO beer is in the background of this dish… I’m thinking of pairing the two tonight… pad thai and beer….mmmmmm

Just made this and enjoying it right now! I used rice vermicelli, and it worked great! I also added some tofu to the mix. Will be using this often!

Dan – Thanks! I don’t know about allergies to the rest of the family so I’ll give galangal a try next time. I was a bit to anxious to make this dish, though, to drive across the county to my ethnic store, so I used garlic this time.

Nick – I have besmirched your good name. :( My Macheesmo Pad Thai was an epic failure. I don’t think I want to go into the reasons as the main one is incredibly embarrassing. But I’ll just say that my issue was quantity, not technique or equipment failure. Geez, Louise! Next time I’ll know better… and there will definitely be a next time because I wanted this dish to taste as awesome as your pictures. Oh well.

@Dan. Nice. Thanks for the substitutions man.

Nick – Awesome man! I need to step up my game if you are getting into some more exotic recipes.

Erin – Are you allergic to all members of the Zingiberaceae family, such as turmeric, cardamom, and galangal? If NOT, I would say to seek out galangal at your local ethnic shop, but its pretty similar to ginger, so I am guessing that means you are allergic to that too. Dr. allergies over here.

@Erin. You could definitely use garlic instead. A few cloves should do the trick. It's pretty hard to substitute ginger though… it'd be fine without it though also ;)
