Classic Pad Thai Dinner
Sweet, salt, acid, and spice are the four flavors that characterize any Thai dish, and this Chicken Pad Thai is no exception. Round out this Asian meal with Asian Slaw, Ginger Snow Peas, and Pineapple with Toasted Coconut. Coconut out of a bag is easily toasted on a cookie sheet in the oven -- just watch it carefully to be sure it doesn't burn.
