Does anybody know of a really easy yet delicious pad thai recipe?!
Oh and any like bottled pad-thai sauce that tastes authentic would also work.
Answers: My family is like addicted to it but the place we get it at isnt that close so we cant have it that often. I've tried going to the store and getting those pad thai packets with the powder to make the sauce but it doesnt taste at all like the real thing. Could you also add what kind of noodles are the best to use because the ones we used were really sticky and weird tasting. I dont need a really extravagant recipe, Just something that is delicious yet simple.

This is going to sound like a cop-out, but I know that Pad Thai is a really tricky dish to make well. It takes a lot of finesse and excellent wok skills to get the noodles the right texture. Otherwise they are soggy and/or sticky. It takes a lot of practice.
I had a friend who graduated culinary school and was an accomlished cook. She had to try dozens of times before she had something that was reasonably acceptable.
I don't think there is any "really easy" way to make a decent pad thai. You may have to settle for wetter thai noodle dishes that have some of the same flavors (like the boxed mixes)
