Simple and Straightforward Pad Thai

Serves 2-4 (depending on appetite!!) 
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 6-8 Minutes


Ingredients
8oz Pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine work really well :)
4 oz chopped chard
2 Tbs lime juice
¼ cup sweet chili sauce (or sriracha and honey)
¼ cup soy sauce

Wooden Spoon or Wooden Spatula
Measuring Cups & Spoons


  1. Cook the pasta following box/bag/container instructions.
  2. Heat wok --> add 1/4 cup olive oil
  3. Add noodles --> wait 2 minutes, give your noodles a quick stir, so they don't stick to the pan. :)

  5. Stir and wait 4 minutes

  1. I made this for breakfast, had enough left over for lunch today!! It was sooooo tasty Soni!! I didn't have all the veg you mention, I ended up using shredded cabbage for the chard, mushrooms, shredded carrots and green onions, also didn't put any meat/tofu in, just forgot. Thought about adding scrambled egg, forgot that too. But it was so good the way it ended up. Aurora LOVED it!!
