  6. Add the soy sauce & sugar to the vegetables. Stir. Add the chicken back to the skillet. Stir and continue cooking while you drain the rice noodles.
  7. Stir the drained rice noodles into the chicken & vegetables.
  8. Portion the Pad Thai onto plates and top each serving with cilantro, green onions, and peanuts
