Prepare the rice noodles. Pour 2–2.5 liters of water into a pot and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions.

Peel the garlic and finely chop it. Wash the peppers and cut them into strips. Wash the pak choi, separate the leaves and stems, and cut them into smaller pieces.

Cut the chicken strips into smaller pieces.

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté for 5–6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

Add the garlic and sliced peppers and sauté for 2–3 minutes. Then add the pak choi and stir briefly.

Add the cooked noodles, pad thai sauce, and sugar. Mix well and heat briefly to combine the flavors.

Wash the lime and cut it into wedges.

Serve the noodles on plates, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and finish with a squeeze of lime juice to taste. Enjoy your meal.
