How would you add this to MFP?

I edited to limit to what sounds like the best choices. I usually guesstimate. It is hard, I generally have uncommon foods when eating out.

You add each ingredient separate.

I take the time to add everything before I go to a restaurant so it is in there and I know how many calories I am playing with. I add every ingredient in the description. Pad Thai should already be in there, just add the prawns and so on.
