Pad Thai is one of my favorite Asian noodle dishes. I have been excited to share a Pad Thai recipe for a long time... so I was so happy when I finally came up with a recipe I really loved. My husband and I ate this dish and both wanted to eat the leftovers. I opted to change the traditional bean sprouts for matchstick carrots in this recipe since my husband is not a fan of bean sprouts. I actually love the carrots because it also gave a great color to the dish. I definitely won't order Pad Thai from Thai takeout anymore... this is totally the best homemade takeout and I can't wait to make it again.
Ingredients:
1lb of ground chicken
1 cup carrots cut into matchsticks
3-4 eggs
1lb Pho noodles
1-2 Tbs Sambal Olek
2 Tbs minced garlic
