In this 10 minutes we made the pad Thai sauce by mixing the sauce ingredients together in a bowel. and mixed them till it dissolved.
After that we took the chicken and cut them to small pieces and put them in a bowel. after that we put 2 tbs oil and garlic in pan over medium - high heat and fried half of an onion for 1 minute then we added the chicken and marinade in it and fried them well.
After 10 minutes we turned off the stove for noodles and we drained and rinsed through with cold water and placed that in a bowel.
When chicken was near to fry we added few Tbs chicken stock and we kept adding till 8 to 10 minutes to chicken pieces cooked.
After that we added the pad Thai sauce over the noodles and we used two wooden spoons and mixed them well.
After mixing the noodles and Pad Thai sauce we added them in chicken pan and fried them for 1 to 2 minutes. After 2 minutes we put the meal in bowels and added some green onion on top of it.
