I'm anxious for lunch since leftovers are going to be this pad thai! There's a bit of heat in this dish but if you're not a fan of spicy heat, you can decrease the amount or omit the sriracha all together. I love how easy this was to prepare - no need for any bottled pad thai sauce. The secret to a good pad thai sauce is having the right balance of sweet, spicy, salty and sour... which this recipe has!
