I have always loved Pad Thai, so I decided to figure out how to make it. My recipe doesn't use tamarind juice or shrimp, but it does taste delicious! Or so my wife says... If you do want a more authentic Pad Thai, reduce the chicken to a 1/2 lb. and add a 1/2 lb. of shrimp to the recipe. Be sure not to marinate the shrimp, and to add at the same time as the eggs. Also, replace the rice vinegar with tamarind juice. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs |
8 ounces wide rice noodles |
2 large eggs |
6 -8 green onions |
8 ounces fresh bean sprouts |
2 garlic cloves |
2 teaspoons rice wine or 2 teaspoons dry sherry |
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
3 tablespoons fish sauce |
3 tablespoons rice vinegar |
2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce |
1/4 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts |
1 lime |
Directions:
1. Cut chicken into 1/2 inch cubes and marinate in the 2 teaspoons of wine for 10 minutes.
2. Prepare rice noodles according to package.
3. Mince the garlic.
4. Lightly beat the eggs.
5. Cut the green onions into 2 inch lengths.
6. Rinse the bean sprouts.
7. Chop the peanuts.
8. Cut the lime into wedges.
9. Place a stir-fry pan or wok over high heat until hot. Add vegetable oil and swirl it around the sides of the pan.
10. Add garlic and stir-fry till fragrant, about 15 seconds.
11. Add chicken and stir-fry till done, about 3 minutes.
12. Push the chicken to one side of the pan, then add the eggs and scramble on the other side.
13. Add noodles, fish sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and chili garlic sauce all at once. Continue stir-frying until everything is well mixed.
