Chicken Pad Thai image

This is another 'whip up at the last minute' ideas... I made it with all organic ingredients and sauces (other than the Sriracha- a spicy 'Asian Ketchup' which, if you don't have- you MUST get- and the jiff, which you will NEVER get me off of- I will never do organic peanut butter- that is the one thing I REFUSE to give up- haha). It's a pretty easy rendition, but it went over really well at a last minute dinner party!
