Shrimp Pad Thai
Tofu is a common addition to pad Thai. Cut 1/4 lb. tofu into small cubes and cook them along with the shrimp. Or, for a vegetarian version of this recipe, omit the shrimp and Asian fish sauce and add up to 1/2 lb. tofu. Add the tofu to the wok as directed for the shrimp.

Don't be afraid to make changes!
October 18, 2011
I have made this so many times now and always change it up! Sometimes more spice is good, or other times less depending on the crowd. I always add some tofu that I fry till golden and sometimes use chicken instead of shrimp. The ketchup can be a bit much so modify the sauce to taste. Getting the noodles in the pan or wok is good too. The lime, cilantro and peanuts are yummy additions.
Pros: Yield, Quick, Good Value, Adaptable, Will Make Again

Tastes like ketchup and fish sauce
April 17, 2011
I agree with the other reviewer - there really isn't enough shrimp. I added 1/2 block tofu and ~1/2 lb of chicken breast (my boyfriend is allergic to shrimp). However, the sauce just tastes like ketchup and fish sauce, not exactly the flavor you get from a Thai restaurant. I actually didn't think the recipe was spicy enough - had to dump a lot more siracha sauce on it. But...I am part Korean and am "immune" to spicy food.
Pros: Easy
Cons: Texture, Taste, Appearance

Very spicy
January 11, 2011
The proportions in this recipe are somewhat off. The quantity of shrimp is minimal for the amount of noodles, even when I increased it to half a pound. It is also very spicy, and not the best choice for a family meal, if that is what you have in mind.
