Pad Thai - A work in progress

I tried making Pad Thai last night - mostly because I had some shrimp and didn't have ant coconut milk - so I couldn't make the Masaman curry / cous cous / shrimp / snow pea dish I had in mind. After a quick inventory of my kitchen, and some web searching for a recipe - I decided on Pad Thai. Here are the two websites I used:

The chezpim site is more of a method then a recipe - but it seems like a good method. I didn't follow it all that carefully - so I am to blame for the mixed results. My sauce mix was pretty stinky and I don't think I made enough - but the dish can out OK after all. I added some lime juice to the sauce - and ended up hijacking the recipe with some soy sauce to ensure it was edible. Hmmmmm... I guess I will keep trying.
