    This dish was amazing and really a good bang for the buck. My family loved it. I added one more slice of thick-cut bacon, and I had to use traditional chili powder since I couldn’t find Thai chili powder. My kids and spouse thought it was amazing and appreciated how quick it was to make.

    I guess I'm alone in this, but this did not work for us. I love pad thai and carbonara but something about the combo of the eggs and the sweet-ish soy sauce combining ended up tasting awful to us.

    This was quite tasty - I followed the recipe pretty much exactly, except that I used linguine instead of spaghetti. I also covered the wok for a bit so that the broccoli cooked better (I like my broccoli quite soft.) Anyway, I liked this a lot and would make it again - it was fast and easy. I wouldn't say it's unbelievable, but it's definitely a lot of bang for the buck. The only change I'd make is to use more noodles (it's a bit salty with my current ratio, though it's possible I used a bit less than 1/2 lb of the linguine.) Maybe a touch less Thai chili powder, too.

    My takeaways: 1. When opening a bag of Thai chile powder do not do so with your teeth. Use some damn scissors like a civilized person. My lips were burning for hours. 2. This was my first time making any kind of carbonara and I had read many stories of scrambled eggs. I tempered my eggs with a couple Tablespoons of hot pasta water and had no problems. 3. We all liked this but had some reservations. My son said he'd eat it again but he wouldn't request it. My husband liked it well enough to take the leftovers for lunch today. I wasn't so certain I liked the sweetness of the sweet soy sauce. There is sugar added to many of the Asian recipes I make but this is the first time the sauce ever tasted sweet to me.

    Chrissy did not provide much help in identifying "liquid soybean paste". I googled it and figured that it's probably something like Healthy Boy Brand Soybean Paste, which is yellow and comes in a glass bottle.

    This is a mashup of two of my favorite dishes: pad see ew and pasta carbonara. I used extra broccoli and two of us ate the whole thing for dinner. I cooked the scallions because I don't care for them raw. Quick, easy, and good. We liked it with sriracha for more spice.
