    Pad Thai Noodles in a Skillet

    If you've never had the pleasure of trying Pad Thai you have no idea what you are missing. Delicious Rice Noodles drowned in a peanut sauce tossed with chunks of chicken. How can you go wrong with that?

    🐓 How to Handle Raw Chicken

    Leave the chicken in the fridge until ready to use.
    Be careful of dripping juices. Clean up immediately.
    Do not wash raw chicken (which prevents cross-contamination).
    Wash all utensils and cutting boards (if applicable).
    If marinating the chicken, make sure you toss the juices before you cook. Don't ever use the juice from the marinade.
    Wash your hands after handling raw chicken.

    On the surface, this recipe might seem a little complicated to make. But if you look closely it really isn't. The noodles are "cooked" in a hot water bath.

    They are then tossed with chicken, bean sprouts and egg in a peanut sauce then topped with some crushed peanuts and red pepper flakes.
