- Add the noodles and scallions and stir-fry until heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Scrape the noodles to one side of the pan and add the eggs.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly set, about 1 minute.
- Toss everything together.
- Add the sauce and the 1/4 cup cilantro and stir-fry until the noodles are evenly coated and the sauce has thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer the pad Thai to a platter.
- Garnish with the peanuts and more cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
