Great site! I’ve made Pad Thai numerous times and always manage to get the noodles to clump together into a mess. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I also either over or under sauce it. I’ll try this recipe out.

Yes of course! Regular sugar is fine!

Hi Joy,

I was wondering, can I use regular sugar or brown sugar in place of the palm sugar? I don’t have any palm sugar, but want to make this dish tonight!

thank you!

My search for Pad Thai ends here. Beautiful recipe, Joy. Lovely blog. Love Thai cuisine and I find a lot of similarities between Indian and Thai food. Am going to be a regular at your space.

Yes! The main point of the oyster sauce is to make the stir fried dish thick like gravy sauce. Instead of oyster sauce you can use 1 tbsp. corn starch mix with 1/4 cup of water. Then, pour it into the food. Cook until the sauce get thick.

Can you use anything besides oyster sauce? I mean, is it really necessary?

JOY!

Thank you for this recipe. I’ve never had authentic Pad Thai before but I’ve had mock versions at restaurants before and this one FAR surpasses anything I’ve ever been served. Thank you again!

my first try was phenomenal…it’s even better than in restaurants around here…trust me, i’m asian too so my taste bud wouldn’t compromise for anything bland…i was in complete and utter shock when i tried this recipe…
I didn’t have the dried shrimp nor tofu and sprouts and i used brown sugar (whatever i have in the cabinet), I can’t wait to try with the complete ingredients. This recipe deserve that many hit, you really nailed the recipe very well. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING..

Help please!
I tried cooking pad thai but though it was delicious, it became very sticky. It stuck to each other and became a big blob after a few minutes! Did I overcook it? I cooked the noodles in the sauce and waited for it to reduce and thicken. Is it the brand of flat noodles? Should I have added more oil? How do I prevent this?

Thank you! I’m so glad I stumbled upon your site!

Hi Joy,

Your recipe for pad thai looks great. Just one comment: the “garlic-like vegetable of the genus Allium” that you listed in your ingredient list is called garlic chive (in thai: pak gui-chai).

Thank you for writing in Jackie –

My husband says that it’s the peanut, sprouts, scallions and lemon or lime juice that make the whole pad thai delicous. I think you’ll enjoy this recipe, many have written in to tell me they loved it! Joy

WOW, can’t believe how many people have viewed this recipe on your site — congratulations!! Of course I had to check it out after discovering you from the Times’ list of best blogs. Congratulations and thanks for the fabulous resource! I’ve tried a few Pad Thai recipes and nothing quite hit the spot yet. I can’t wait to try this one!

This PadThai page has been viewed over 28,000 times on this site! Recently we revised the page to fix the title and reformat the spaces. Look better? This is an amazing Thai food recipe that we must have a couple times per month. Right now as we speak Joy is making some Tom Kha Gai (Spicy and Sour Chicken Soup with mushrooms…) yum, one of my favorites. She just handed me a “Dragon fruit” one of my top 3 favorite Thai fruits! Thai food is the best! – Vern, Joy’s husband.
