You may think that pad thai noodle is too difficult or decadent to make, but have no fear! This recipe keeps health in mind and breaks it down into simple steps.  

To accomplish the right flavor to a pad thai, it requires fish sauce. Stir the sauce into the stir fry and briefly saute with some flour to thicken and bind all the flavor to the noodle.  

To save time, try preparing a protein ahead of time in an instant pot or slow cooker to make meal prep and meal planning easy.  

Thai noodle has to be cooled down after it is boiled or the rice noodles will get soggy, then it is briefly stirred with seasoning ingredients before serving. This is common in all pad thai recipes, not just chicken pad thai. Common seasonings include basil, soy sauce, fish sauce, cayenne, lime, and pear sauce.  

Thai noodle can be made with a variety of proteins like tofu, chicken, pork, or fish, just to name a few. The use of brown rice noodle means that the carbs are in the presence of a higher amount of fiber, making it easier to digest on your body. When your body lacks fiber, it can cause your internal gut bacteria to swim up into your small intestine and eat sugars. By increasing your fiber load with brown rice and veggies, you can cause the bacteria to go back to eating fiber, its main diet, and your digestion improves overall. Don’t forget to add crushed up peanuts.
