Chicken Pad Thai





We were two for one tonight and followed the Brown Rice Salad with the Pad Thai which you can tell from the title we did with chicken. Loved how quick this cooked up! We took Staci's advice and precooked our noodles in the microwave. We decided maybe for us 3mins would have been better then 5 because once we added them in with the food and cooked it all up it got a bit mushy by serving time. We also doubled the sauce as we had quite a bit of noodles and chicken. We did a store bought sauce and could only find one with plum and ginger. We actually ended up dumping even more of the sauce in beyond what the recipe called for as it seemed to be lacking the kick we were hoping for.

Chicken Pad Thai is one of my favorite foods and it was fun to try it at home. I thought it was good and will try again this time watching the length of time the noodles cook and maybe trying to find a different sauce....maybe even doing it from scratch.

What cute pictures! I think you two need to have your own cooking show - with the kids of course.
