Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Noodles

    Soak the Thai flat rice noodles in warm water for about 30 minutes until they are softened. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook Protein

    In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add oil. Cook the sliced chicken, shrimp, or beef for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Stir-Fry Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the vegetables for 3-5 minutes until slightly tender.

  4. 4

    Combine All Ingredients

    Add the soaked noodles back into the skillet, along with the cooked protein. Stir well.

  5. 5

    Add Sauce

    Pour in your favorite Pad Thai sauce (store-bought or homemade) and toss everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot, garnished with lime wedges and crushed peanuts if desired.
