I googled rice sticks as I never heard of that and it says it is rice sticks noodle. The seasoning looks delicious and I will try it but I will use half the noodles and replace the other half with bean sprouts to give it the crunch I love and to save on carbs and calories. Thanks for the recipe! - 12/5/12

The best dish i've ate since i been on my diet. If you miss dishes like pad woon sen or pad thai you should definitely fix this. It will be one of my go tos from now on. The 3 slight changes i made: used chicken (don't like shrimp). Used 3 cups bean sprouts (like them) and used stir fried Onions. - 1/27/13

Tastes mostly like pad thai. It appears the nutrition facts are off, the maifun rice sticks I bought said 2 oz is a serving at 200 cal per serving, 4 servs x 200 = 800 /6 servs in this recipe = 133 cal from the rice noodles, the break down says 41. Maybe the author used a different type of noodle? - 2/9/14

We LOVE this! Per other comments I doubled the sauce. I didn't use the egg or peanuts. I changed this for our taste by adding 1" fresh minced ginger,brocolli, red cabbage and celery. I used agave instead of brown sugar and olive and sesame oil. I used leftover rice instead of rice noodles. - 2/20/13

I can't believe it; we ate the whole thing. Two of us, ages 66 and 88. But that was after an afternoon spent cleaning up some brush in the SW 1/4 section, so we were hungry. Next time, though, I'll add a second egg and a Tbsp of lime juice to the sauce. I think it needs a little something extra. - 10/24/19
