Directions:In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, peanut butter, and chili paste until smooth. Heat a large wok over medium-high heat, and add canola oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger and let cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the vegetables, chicken, and shrimp, and stir-fry until chicken and shrimp are browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add noodles and toss to coat. Toss noodles quickly and be careful not to overcook. Add peanut/spice paste, brown sugar and cider vinegar and toss to distribute. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Spread romaine lettuce leaves on a platter. Serve pad Thai on top of lettuce and add raw bean sprouts for nice crunch. Garnish with lime wedges, cilantro and sprinkle chopped peanuts on top.
