Instructions:

Tips:
- 1. Prep Ahead: Measure and prepare all your ingredients before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process much smoother and quicker.
- 2. Cook Noodles Properly: Ensure the egg noodles are cooked al dente as they will continue to cook when you stir-fry them with the other ingredients.
- 3. Balance Your Flavors: Taste and adjust the seasoning as you cook. If you prefer a sweeter Pad Thai, add more brown sugar. For a tangier taste, add extra lime juice.
- 4. Use High Heat: Use high heat when stir-frying to ensure all ingredients cook quickly and retain their flavors and textures.
- 5. Customize Your Pad Thai: Feel free to add other ingredients like shrimp, chicken, or tofu to your Pad Thai to suit your preferences.
Congratulations! You've successfully prepared an easy Pad Thai that is both delicious and authentic. Garnish with crushed peanuts and coriander leaves for an extra burst of flavor and enjoy your homemade Thai dish.
