Verawaty's Chicken Pad Thai

The Pad Thai her kids ask for every single week. There's a version of Pad Thai that comes from a packet. Then there's Verawaty's - rice noodles soaked the long way, chicken marinated for a full hour, and a sauce her family has been eating on repeat ever since she first made it. It takes patience to get right, and that patience is exactly what you can taste in every forkful. Each 500g serve comes ready to reheat in minutes, defrost overnight or in the microwave, warm through, and finish with a squeeze of lemon and a handful of fresh bean sprouts. Add chilli flakes if you like heat. The noodles stay separate, the chicken stays tender, and the flavour is the kind that makes people go back for seconds without quite knowing why.
