Ingredients
200
g
of chicken breast
sliced into thin strips
200
g
of rice noodles
3
tablespoons
of tamarind paste
3
tablespoons
of fish sauce
2
eggs
lightly beaten
2
tablespoons
of vegetable oil
2
cloves
of garlic
minced
1
cup
of bean sprouts
1
red chili
chopped (optional)
4
green onions
sliced
¼
cup
of crushed peanuts
Lime wedges
cilantro, extra bean sprouts, and crushed peanuts for serving
Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water until they are soft but still al dente.
In a small bowl, mix together the tamarind paste and fish sauce. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until it's no longer pink.
Add the garlic and chili (if using) to the pan and cook for another minute.
Push the chicken to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs and mix them with the chicken.
Add the softened noodles and the sauce to the pan. Toss everything together until the noodles are coated in the sauce.
Stir in the bean sprouts and green onions.
Serve the Pad Thai hot with lime wedges, cilantro, extra bean sprouts, and crushed peanuts on the side.
Notes
Cook the noodles just until they're al dente to prevent them from getting mushy.
Cut all your ingredients and have them ready before you start cooking. This dish comes together very quickly.
Feel free to adjust the heat level by adding more or less chili.
Taste your sauce before adding it to the noodles. It should be a balance of sweet, sour, and salty.
Pad Thai is best served immediately, so plan to serve it right after cooking.
