Thin rice noodles (also called Pad Thai noodles) can be found in most supermarkets. Soak the noodles in warm water until they become pliable but not mushy.
Prepare everything in advance. Pad Thai cooks quickly, so ensure all your ingredients are chopped, measured, and ready to go before you start cooking.
Don’t overdo the sauces. Use just enough sauce to coat the noodles without drowning them. Over-saucing can result in soggy noodles and a dish that’s overly salty or sweet.
