Thai Noodles (Phad Thai) image

This is my favorite recipe for Phad Thai. It comes from "Quick & Easy Thai Cuisine" by Judy Lew and Chef Rut. I've tried many other recipes but none are as easy or as good as this one. I highly recommend the optional ingredients if you fix this. The 3 hours prep. time is soaking the rice noodles.
