Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (8 ounce) package medium-sized dried rice noodles
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 ½ cups 1/2-inch wide strips of raw chicken breast
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup fish sauce
2 tablespoons tamarind juice

3 tablespoons canola or peanut oil, divided
¾ teaspoon minced garlic
2 eggs
¾ tablespoon white sugar
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ cup chopped unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
½ teaspoon chili powder

1 cup fresh bean sprouts

Steps:

  • Place noodles in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak until soft, 30 to 50 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Tips:

  • Use wide rice noodles: These noodles are more absorbent and will hold the sauce better than thin rice noodles.
  • Soak the noodles before cooking: This will help them soften and cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the noodles and vegetables.
  • Cook the noodles in batches: This will prevent them from sticking together.
  • Add the sauce to the noodles while they are still hot: This will help the sauce coat the noodles evenly.
  • Garnish the pad thai with peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges: This will add flavor and color to the dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken Pad Thai with Peanut Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning, you can have this dish on the table in less than 30 minutes.
