Pad Thai with Chicken and Shrimp
Many people consider this the best Pad Thai they have ever had. I quite often make a double batch of the sauce, so the dish is even more flavorful. For those with milder tastes, cut back on the red pepper flakes. The recipe as is has quite a bite to it. It is always a hit at our house. by Just Call Me Martha
