This will make it easier to fry and eat.

and red onions to the hot pan and stir fry for 1 minute

Add noodles and stir for 1 minute. Add 3-4 tbls.
Of Pad Thai sauce continually stirring noodle mixture
until well coated with sauce.

and crack an egg on the other side.
Scramble the egg with a wooden spoon and cook for 30 seconds.
Add carrots, green onions,
and sprouts and cook for one more minute frying everything together.

If the noodle is too firm, fry for an additional minute.
If your noodles need more flavor,
add another tbl. of sauce and fry another half minute.
