Vegetarian Phad Thai

Vegetarian Phad Thai. I made Phad Thai with shrimp last month. Today I made again for vegetarian. I cook 4 dishes for our meal on next a few days. I will do my best to do entry everyday. Today my lovely husband have gutted the kitchen. You might see some photos with the floor look messy and the light isn't enough for my photos. I made this dish for my family on last week at Chapel, Hill, NC. I would love to make this recipe for them, in case they want to make it again. And I hope everyone can enjoy this vegetarian Phad Thai too.
