It's a delicious combination of diced cooked chicken, eggs, rice noodles, veggies and herbs, all tossed in a sweet and savory sauce.

Instructions to make Chicken Pad Thai:
- Cook the noodles for 6 minutes rinse with cold water and place in a bowl. (check the brand directions we cooked the minimum…some have you soak them and not cook)
- In a small bowl, whisk the fish sauce, light brown sugar, salt, lime juice and chilies.
- In an omelet pan add 2 tablespoons of oil, and add the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly set, about 1 minute. Break up into small penny size pieces.
- In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of the oil until shimmering

- Add everything together stir-fry until the noodles are evenly coated, 2 to 3 minutes.(if you cook cook to long you lose flavor as the sauce cooks off. as noted above you can mix up extra sauce if desired)
- Garnish with additional lime wedges, cilantro and chopped peanuts and bean sprouts
When I prepared the recipe the sauce appeared to be miniscule in comparison to the main ingredients (noodles chicken sprouts). This was a problem as Pad Thai noodles must soak up a lot of flavor in order to compensate for their lack of taste. Pad Thai is a Thai noodle stir fry with a sweet-savoury-sour sauce scattered with crushed peanuts. It's made with thin, flat rice noodles, and almost always has bean sprouts, garlic chives, scrambled egg, firm tofu and a protein - the most popular being chicken or prawns/shrimp. Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions, then drain and set aside.
