Some restaurants serve a basic version – just boiled noodles mixed with seasonings ... squid and peeled fresh shrimp in supermarkets. If you like, use these - it will save a little time.

Add the garlic paste to the chicken stock. Add the red curry and the mushrooms. Add the Pad Thai noodles and cook for 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and the bok choy and cook until the noodles are cooked.
