Pan-Fried Rice Noodles With Chicken And SquidThis fresh noodle dishis a mild version of Chicken Pad See Ew(Pad See Ew Gai). It’s a simple, very popular street noodle withsquid and chicken added. It’s one of my favorites when I want a lighter meal.Most noodle dishes are loaded with sauce and salt, and this one is my go-towhen I need a break from heavier foods.
