"If you like Pad Thai you will love this. If you love Thai curries, you will love this even more. It's not really that spicy, so add chopped Thai chiles if you like it more hot. It makes a ton, so invite a few of your friends over and have a martial arts film fest. Everybody will be so happy."

I adored this! I love Pad Thai, but I think this beats it. Such great flavor and ingredient components. Loved the toasted coconut and cashews! I also really loved the addition of mushrooms. I cannot wait to have the leftovers for lunch!
