      Just fermented fish. Smells really bad, makes food taste excellent.

    I made this for dinner and my husband and I loved it! He asked that I keep this recipe in regular rotation since Pad Thai is one of his favorites! I couldn’t find bean sprouts and the two local grocery stores I visited so I replaced it with Green Beans and it was delicious!
