Today's recipe is Pad Thai with Chicken. It is plated similarly to the plating of one of Chiang Mai's street vendors. Chiang Mai is a delightful city high in the mountains in the North of Thailand along the Ping river. It has a rich cultural history and is a very modern and dynamic city. Needless to say, the food there is excellent.
