Ingredients:  
250 g pad thai rice noodles
3/4 lb chicken cut into small pieces (boneless, skinless)
1.5 T soy sauce
4 cloves of garlic
2 fresh red chillis
1 thumb size piece of fresh ginger
4 green onions
2 eggs
2-3 cups bean sprouts
1/3 cup of dry roasted peanuts or cashews
1 fresh line cut into wedges
2 T veg oil

Pad Thai Sauce
1/3 cup good tasting chicken stock
3 T rice vinegar
1 T lime juice
3-4 T brown sugar
2 T fish sauce
1 T soy sauce
1/8 T pepper
Directions:
Directions:
1. Place prepared chicken in a bowl and toss with 1.5 T soy sauce. Set aside.
2. Combine pad thai sauce ingredients together .
3. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the rice noodles. Turn off heat. Soak noodles for 6 minutes or until soft enough to bend easily but still firm and "undercooked" by regular standards (this is key to a good pad thai, so be sure not to over soak or boil the noodles.) Drain and rinse noodles briefly with cold water to keep sticking. Set aside.
4. Heat wok over medium/high heat. Drizzle oil. Add garlic, chilli, ginger and half the green onion. Stir fry one minute to release the flavors.
5. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes or until cooked. If the pan becomes dry, add 1-2 T of the thai pad sauce to keep ingredients moist.
6. Push ingredients aside and crack an egg in center of the pan. Scramble and add in other ingredients into the pan.
7. Add noodles, plus 3-4 T of sauce. Lift and turn noodles to stir fry and combine with other ingredients. Combine frying in this way, adding more sauce until all the sauce has been added and the noodles are chewy delicious and a little bit sticky (8-10 minutes), fold in bean sprouts.
8. Remove from heat, adding more fish sauce until desired taste is achieved (1-2 T). This provides more salty flavour.
9. Add remaining green onions and peanuts.
