Tonight I made Pad Thai noodles for dinner, following
this online recipe. It came out nicely. I substituted sushi vinegar (which is sweetened) for the tamarind, and used only 1-1/2 Tbs. sugar. Also, instead of crushed red pepper I used a little Sriracha sauce--I wanted to go easy for my son, he's not fond of super-spicy food. Mistakes I made were: overcooking the peanuts and undercooking the noodles. But the flavor is great, and when I heat the leftovers I can cook the noodles a little more.
I highly recommend this recipe.
