Posted by kitpath@earthlink.net 4/16/99 NOTES : With a little egg substitute and a little low-fat tofu, you can have a lighter pad Thai. Rice noodles are about the width of linguine and cook quickly. They should be cooked until limp - about 1 minute. Letting them rest in a bowl of cold water after cooking prevents them from sticking together.
