Expert Tips

When soaking the noodles, soaking them in cold water and letting them soften for a while will ensure that the noodles soften better without falling apart.
You can be creative when preparing the pad Thai sauce and enrich the sauce as you wish. I enriched it with ginger, garlic, a little ketchup, teriyaki sauce, and spices I had on hand.
If you are going to use canned soybean sprouts, it is better to add them at the end because they have already been processed. Otherwise, the soybean sprouts will melt.
You can make it even more delicious by sprinkling roasted sesame seeds on top.
Finally, you can sprinkle finely chopped green onions on top.
You can include various Asian vegetables to spice it up.
