For fans of Costco

I warmed it on the stovetop (not microwave) and found it lacking, but acceptable.

After adding:

  • tamarind paste,
  • onions,
  • bell peppers,
  • a thai hot pepper,

and then topping with:

  • cilantro,
  • fresh lime, and
  • some chopped up roasted peanuts,

... the additions (standard ingredients) made it much better.

Still, it was missing the contrast of bean sprouts. It isn;t the same without them and if I'd had bean sprouts, I would have added, but at that point I might have opted to just make my own pad thai -- which would have tasted better for almost the same amount of cook/prep time.

I've tried it and it was at the low end of mediocre. Wouldn't buy it again.
