Maesri pad thai sauce

i found this little gem of a sauce on a trip to the asian (primarily thai) market near work. it came with a complete how-to recipe on back - while i couldn't follow the quantities (they were metric) and didn't have bean sprouts or asian chive, i rolled with what i had. 

we sauteed some chicken, then shrimp & mushrooms in an onion & cilantro flavored olive oil and few dashes of chili oil, threw in some dried chilis, and an egg before dropping in the sauce and rice noodles. a little salt & pepper and bing! easiest din ever. 

it had a great flavor - sweet, teeny bit of spice, not overpowering at all. while ours didn't look like the typical pad thai we'd get out, it was a charming lil din - well worth grabbing a jar for quick weeknight eats.
