Instructions for a perfect Chicken and prawn pad Thai

1. Start by soaking the rice noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until they become soft. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and prawns, cooking for about 5-7 minutes or until they’re cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Pour in the eggs and scramble until they’re almost fully cooked.
4. Stir in the bean sprouts, red bell pepper, and half of the green onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the drained noodles to the pan along with the cooked chicken and prawns.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Pour this mixture over the noodles and toss until everything is well coated.
7. Sprinkle the crushed peanuts, remaining green onions, cilantro, and chili flakes (if using) over the top just before serving.
