I love Pad Thai, and the nice thing about this dish is that it is quick and easy to make. It’s certainly a bit more adventurous than my kiddos are willing to try, so I just set aside some of the chicken for them, and they were happy with that. You could also skip the chicken and make this a vegetarian dish.
