    The soaking time for the noodles is crucial. Make sure they're not over-soaked, or they'll become mushy in the wok.

  • Freddy Quigley

    I made this last night and it was a hit! I used tofu instead of chicken, and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

  • Amya Hane

    I added a splash of soy sauce for a deeper umami flavor. It was a great addition!

  • Bobby Batz

    This recipe is a winner! The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the Pad Thai tasted just like my favorite restaurant version.
