Easy Pad Thai image

Found this recipe on Pinterest, and LOVED IT! Couldn't find it on food.com, so adding for safe keeping. Here is a note from the original poster Patricia Lawless: "Granted, the recipe is not 100% authentic - it doesn't use fish sauce and tamarind and the 100 other ingredients the authentic version calls for - but it is light and fresh and easy with a capital E. You can seriously have this ready in 30 minutes flat (and most of that time is just soaking the noodles). I've made it 4 times in 2 weeks and unless I am on a beach in Thailand, I am never ordering Pad Thai in a restaurant again."
