Simple Pad Thai recipe

Both of us love Pad Thai, but every time eating out just to get the taste of the very plate is not possible. So, I had decided to cook at home. A person with little patience could not cook any elaborate dish. So, I tried to find out some  short-cut recipes on the internet. After much browsing I found out one recipe, though that was not a short cut method. But, I thought, when I had a Thai curry paste in my, why not use that. I was wrong!!! The noodles tasted awe full. I realized using short cut method, I wouldn’t get any good result. So, I went to grocery store and bought oyster sauce, fish sauce , and other ingredients. But while going to pay, suddenly I noticed one bottle of pad-thai sauce. I also bought that one also, just to give a try. I cooked pad-thai by using that sauce. I didn’t use oyster sauce or fish sauce. May be next time I’ll use them while cooking Pad Thai. Using that single sauce I able to get the taste of Pad Thai.Here is the recipe using pad-thai sauce


Ingredients: (The measurements are  for 2 plates)
Rice noodles
2 cups cubed boneless chicken
1tsp ginger paste

Kindergarten days are over

It was early in the morning, I was just lying on my bed, and not feeling to get up. Some abrupt thought started pouring in my mind. First of all came in my mind that, how I would teach all the problems of probabilities , vectors, dynamics and many more during his high school days. Then I just smiled to myself, thinking that another 10 years are there to reach high school.
