By the way, I�ll post a recipe for pad Thai just as soon as my version comes out at least as well as the worst restaurant example in town. I�m not quite there yet. In the meantime, we can all practice our rice noodle soaking technique. As I mentioned, check the package of noodles you buy, as the time will vary depending on the size of the noodle.
I think this dish is perfect for using up leftover chicken, assuming it wasn�t horribly overcooked in the first place. If you did want to use raw chicken, go ahead and chop it up, and stir-fry it for a minute or two, before adding your vegetables. Either way, I really hope you give this spicy chicken noodles recipe a try soon. Enjoy!
