Thanks Hally (it's taken me a while to read it properly - just remembered when I made Cyndi's pad thai.......I'm wondering if you can cook the eggs the way she does it)

Will give this recipe a go soon.

I finally tried this today, experimenting with how to make it in the TMX but it didn't quite work out.

The main problem was the chicken, it was getting stuck together and starting to look like chicken mince, despite having it on reverse.

However, managed to redeem it using the frypan and just chuck in the rest of ingredients and the flavours were awesome.

Makes me want to find and try the real thing we made in a Thai cooking class in Thailand.

Thanks for posting Hally.
