Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Brown rice noodles
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Bean sprouts
- 4 Green onions
- 1 cup Crushed peanuts
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 4 Lime wedges
- 3 tbsp Gluten-free tamari sauce
- 1 tbsp Fish sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Sriracha
Instructions
Boil water in a large pot and cook brown rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water; set aside.
Thinly slice the chicken breast and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and stir-fry until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Crack eggs into the skillet and scramble them until fully cooked, breaking them into small pieces.
Add cooked noodles, chicken, bean sprouts, and sliced green onions to the skillet.
In a small bowl, whisk together gluten-free tamari sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and Sriracha. Pour the sauce mixture over the noodle mixture.
Toss everything together until the noodles and chicken are well coated with the sauce and everything is heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
Transfer the Pad Thai to a serving platter. Garnish with crushed peanuts, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges before serving.
