Thai food is probably my favourite take out food, not that I have it very often. Partially because I hardly ever get take out and partially because I live in the boonies and there are no thai restaurants around. Luckily pad thai is really simple to make and I don't have to worry about any weird ingredients that the restaurant might be adding. 

I have made this recipe with either rice noodles or zucchini noodles and it turns out great both ways! Of course the zucchini noodles don't really need to be cooked before adding them to the recipe. I usually spiralize them while the chicken is cooking and add them in near the end so they basically just have enough time to heat through without getting  mushy. If you'd ever overcooked zucchini noodles you know just how fast it can happen and how it can really ruin a great meal. 

Next time you're craving thai food, you'll definitely want to try out this recipe at home. Once you see how easy and tasty it is you'll be rethinking that take out order.

For me this is really nothing but a spicy chicken salad. I am not saying it's not good but really there is nothing complicated in it and it is very easy to prepare. Even so, there is nothing like the experience of eating it on the streets of Thailand and I guess that's what can make a huge difference because aside from its unique taste, you get to see fantastic views and at the same time can't help but feel petrified a little about your safety or the safety of your belongings because you are in any of the unfamiliar streets in a country half way around the globe
