This classic Thai noodle dish is one of my family's favourites.  Most of the prep time is down to chopping the vegetables and you can encourage children to help shredding the chicken, beating the egg, washing the veg and pounding the paste.

This recipe contains peanuts; not suitable for people with nut allergies or children under 3 years of age.
