Goal #72 Try 100 new recipes (29-30): Pad Thai and Cucumber Salad AND #71 Eat 5 vegetables I've never tried (3-4/5)

I inherited pad thai sauce from a friend and decided to learn how to make it...and then I decided to go ahead and make my own sauce anyway! And it turned out pretty good. A TON of work for a pretty good tasting meal. 4/5 stars. Something I'll make maybe once a year.

The recipe is here. The cool thing about this recipe is that there's a live podcast of the cook making it, and she talks you through her process! I really enjoyed that.

The noodles are made of rice!


bean sprouts <3


Shallots!
First time cooking with tofu and shrimp

Final product! 

And I got to try some new vegetables--bean sprouts and shallots--which I really enjoyed! The shallots were kind of oniony. Nice. But the bean sprouts...those were something! Just a delightful little crunch and refreshing watery taste to add to the noodles. Loved it.
