 Easy-to-Prepare Pad Thai that Tastes Great.Sep 05, 2006
By mirasreviews
Annie Chun's Classic Pad Thai Meal Kit provides the basic ingredients (rice noodles and sauce) for stir-fried pad thai. You need to add vegetable oil, tofu, chicken or shrimp, eggs, bean sprouts, green onions, and (not essential) lime, peanuts, and fresh cilantro from your own kitchen. Choose tofu for a vegetarian pad thai or combine with shrimp or chicken as you like. Of course, it would be less expensive to make pad thai from scratch. But the pre-packaged sauce is convenient, and this ranks high among the pad thais that I've tasted. The box says that preparation takes 10 minutes, but 20 minutes is more realistic. No MSG or preservatives. All natural ingredients.
There are 2 sets of instructions on the box, which is confusing. On the side panel, there are instructions for boiling the noodles. Those are for people who want to eat the noodles with sauce only. The instructions for stir-fried pad thai "with all the trimmings" are on the back of the box. This recipe instructs you to soak the rice noodles in hot water for 10 minutes. It helps if the water is boiling hot, and you will probably need to soak them longer to get the noodles soft enough. The noodles will soften a little after they are added to the other ingredients, but not much. Apart from the problem of undercooked noodles, the recipe on the box works well and tastes great.
Ingredients: Noodles: rice flour, water. Sauce: brown sugar, water, tamarind, soy sauce (water, wheat, soybeans, salt), onion and shallot puree, fish sauce (anchovy, salt, water), canola oil, tomato paste, rice vinegar, garlic, corn starch, lime juice concentrate, spices, onion powder. (Manufactured in a facility that uses peanuts.) Nutritional facts per serving (3 servings per box): 230 calories, 1g total fat, 780mg sodium, 53g carbohydrates, 9g sugars, 3g protein.

 Not terribly impressed...Jul 05, 2007
By T. Garrett
After trying the 6 "Meal Kits" contained in this item, I've concluded the following:
o The sauce is a tad "brackish" and doesn't leave me satisfied; I prefer a smoother, less salty taste
o The name "meal kit" is misleading, since one must (as others have noted) add the other 80% of what makes a true Pad Thai
o The noodles never seem fully cooked if you merely follow the directions -- rather surprising, since the noodles otherwise look the same as those I buy (for home-made Pad Thai) from the Asian Market
o Home-made Pad Thai is infinitely better, so find a good recipe, and you'll understand that Annie Chun isn't saving you much time (or money) after all
Hope this helps a potential buyer. We tried this item sight-unseen (it's not available at our local Whole Foods store), and kinda slogged through all six boxes over the course of a year. Had we enjoyed them at all, they'd have disappeared quickly!

So-So Thai FoodJun 14, 2007
By Chartreauxx
Prepared this dish with vegetables, tofu, egg and chicken, etc...trimmed with green onion and crushed peanuts. It was very meh - a perfectly functional dinner for two, but nothing spectacular. The sauce was very bland and it lacked that distinctive Thai kick provided by the sweet chili and fish sauce used in so many Thai recipes. Honestly, this tasted like it had been "watered down" to suit a presumed "American" palate. If you want a reasonably quick and easy packaged Asian meal, this is your one. Just don't expect it to taste like restaurant Thai food. I will be making my own pad thai sauce from scratch in the future.

Fantastic!Mar 01, 2007

I have made this a couple times. I use the recipe on the back that includes chicken. I love the subtle lime flavor. My husband worried because it was Thai that it would be spicy, but it has just the right amount of flavors.
