"This is out of an America's Test Kitchen magazine. If you can't find fish sauce, substitute a combination of 4 minced anchovy fillets and 1/4 cup soy sauce. Rice stick noodles can be found in the Asian section of most supermarkets If desired, top Pad Thai with chopped peanuts and scallions."

I liked this quick version of Pad Thai. I would give it 4 stars for flavor and 5 stars for easy prep. This came together quickly and we were eating Pad Thai in no time! The sauce had really good flavor. Thank you for posting this quickie!
