Notes
- Add some extra texture with a sprinkling of crushed peanuts before serving.
- A sprinkling of coriander will add lots of flavour to the finished dish.
- Make this as mild or as spicy as you like. Make it spicier by adding extra chilli to the sauce, or milder by leaving it out completely and adding chilli flakes on top for those that want them.
- This is such a quick recipe, and the more often you make it the quicker you will get. Make sure everything is prepped and ready to go.
- To cut down on the cooking time of this chicken pad Thai, make sure that the chicken it cut in to thin strips.
- For best results, use a wok to make this.
