Pad Thai, Fried Noodles Thai Style

There must be as many recipes for this dish as there are cooks. Adapt to what you have on hand. Most often eaten when going to the market as a quick snack, it is not really a dish Thais cook at home!

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/4 lb. pork, cut into 1" by 1/4" pieces

• 2 tbsp. salted radish, chopped (optional)
• 2 tbsp. fish sauce
• 1 tbsp. thin soy sauce

• 1 tbsp. lime juice
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1/4 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, crush in a mortar & pestle or chop with a chef's knife
• Cilantro to garnish
