Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Rice noodles
- 8 ounces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Bean sprouts
- 4 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Lime, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Tamarind paste
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 15-20 minutes until they are softened but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, tamarind paste, and white pepper and set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until it's fully cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Push the garlic to the side of the pan and crack the eggs into the pan. Allow them to cook and scramble the eggs until just set.
Add the rice noodles, cooked chicken, and sauce mixture to the pan. Toss everything together gently to coat the noodles and chicken in the sauce.
Add in the bean sprouts, chopped green onions, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender-crisp.
Serve the Pad Thai noodles hot, garnished with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating.
