Cooking Help Please?
My husband purchased for me, for Christmas, the "Student's Vegetarian Cookbook".
I made a Pad Thai recipe. The sauce called for:
3 TBS fresh lemon juice
3 TBS ketchup
1 TBS sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
It didn't sound like pad thai, but I tried it. It is awful. Is there anything that anybody can think of to add to these noodles? I hate to waste all this food.

yuck - thai food does not require ketchup. yuck.
maybe some vinegar? fish sauce?
The whole ketchup thing did sound kind off odd, but I assumed that the writer of the cookbook knew what he/she was doing. Perhaps I shouldn't assume.
You can't taste the ketchup, really. It tastes like noodles that were DOUSED in soy, which is what they are. I like soy sauce in small doses, but yuck.
Yeah, the ketchup is suspect.
Maybe peanuts? chili sauce? lime juice? garlic?
for some reason, pad thai from a cookbook never works.
if you want a really good cookbook, you can't go wrong with jeanne lemlin.
maybe only a tbsp or two of soy sauce and no ketchup...
Maybe the garbage disposal.
I'm sorry...I hate it when recipes are bad. I made some red lentil soup today that was very ugly, but it tasted good. Non-Shallow Soup.
Non-shallow soup - that's funny.
Sometimes the ugly food tastes the best, especially when it comes to cake.
