Is there a difference between Pad Thai

and peanut butter chicken?

I wanted to have something different and got a Pad Thai kit, and a jar of Pad Thai paste. I have made Chinese buffet style peanut butter chicken and I have the ingredients I usually use in that. I looked at the directions on the kit, and except for scrambling an egg to mix in, it seems a lot like peanut butter chicken.

I've had home-cooked Chinese a couple of times, a long time ago. I mostly get Chinese food from a buffet. I'm not sure what I'm going to prepare, but I appreciate any tips before I get started.

Thank you!

1. I love Pad Thai!

I made it from scratch a couple times. What I think makes a good pad thai is making sure the noodles are not too wet with water before you mix them in the sauce. The crushed peanuts are a must, as well as, cilantro and bean sprouts. The lime juice is a must and I think the carrots are what makes it so sweet. That sounds so good!

2. Yes, kinda

There are two Pad Thai. Authentic and Americanized.
The original recipe used crushed peanuts as a garnish. The Americanized recipe uses peanuts and peanut butter as a main ingredient.

I made peanut butter chicken, which I make pretty often. Chicken, vegetables, peanut butter, soy sauce, pepper, and red pepper flakes. I'll look at the video you sent.
