My missus loves oriental noodle dishes and I've been making them for many years, with varied success. Recently I've been trying to make the Thai dish 'Pad Thai'. I've used the following 3 recipes:

The top one, by John Torode, has so far been the most successful but I'm not sure its very authentic and I don't know why its called 'Phat Thai' instead of 'Pad Thai'. I've made it four times and it has gone down quite well, but always seems to be a bit too salty, even when I cut back on the fish sauce.
The second one down I've made just once and it was just OK. I don't think its very authentic.
The third one down I've made 3 times. I sent off to Thai Food Online for all the authentic ingredients but left out the tofu because we don't like it. The results have been a bit varied and I always seem to overcook the noodles until they are just a sloppy mess.
So, has anyone out there got a recommended recipe for Pad Thai, or any other really tasty noodle dish.
