Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao)

Recipe taken from Kevin Curry from Fit Men Cook app.
I didn't follow it correctly when I should have, and it ended up being too acidic (add lime juice, didn't add the sugar). Also, need to add less fish sauce because Eric doesn't like a lot.  I ended up adding Hoisin to his meal and he liked it better.  I also doubled the recipe because I was adding a ton of veggies.

Also the brown rice noodles instructions were to cook for 4-5 min, and I did 3 min, but still think it could have been less.  Just looked up a different way to cook them from KitchenSkip.com
1. Boil water
2. Turn off heat
3. Add noodles
4. Soak for 6-10 min
5. Drain
6. Rinse in cold water - rinsing makes it less sticky

Ingredients:
-Garlic, minced
-Chicken, diced
-Roma tomatoes, small diced - I used 3, but would do 4 like it said
-4 Tbsp fish sauce (do 3)
-4 Tbsp soy sauce
-4 tsp coconut sugar (didn't add, but need to next time)
-3 tsp lime zest (don't add the juice!)
-2 Tbsp thai chili sauce 
-32 oz tofu shirataki noodles - I just used 1 box of brown rice noodles and was perfect for 6 servings
-Thai basil, chopped
-Veggies used: 1 yellow onion, 2 bell peppers, 1 large zucchini - for 6 servings

Directions:
1. Cook garlic + serrano in pan.  Add chicken. Set aside.
2. Combine tomatoes, fish sauce, soy, coconut sugar, lime zest, and chili sauce into pan.  Cook for about 5 min, until tomatoes have created their own paste and sauce
3. Add veggies and cook
4. Add uncooked noodles????
5. Combine with chicken
6. Garnish with thai basil
