CHICKEN PAD THAI

Like a facsimile of your favorite takeout chicken pad Thai -- or perhaps, since there's no transit time, even better.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 ounces flat rice stick noodles (linguini size)
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons tamarind paste or tamarind concentrate (see Cook's Note)
1 to 3 tablespoons sriracha (depending on desired heat level)
1 tablespoon lime juice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup cubed extra-firm tofu (1-by-1/2-inch cubes)
6 ounces chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 cup mung bean sprouts
3 thin scallions, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
  • For the sauce: Stir together the fish sauce, brown sugar, tamarind, sriracha and lime juice in a small bowl until well combined.
  • For the stir fry: Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Push the tofu to the side, allowing the excess oil to drip down into the middle of the skillet. Add the chicken and shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is opaque and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Push to the side with the tofu, allowing the excess oil to drip down into the middle of the skillet. Add the beaten egg to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and chopping to break up, until cooked through, about 30 seconds. Push the egg to the side with the tofu and chicken. Add the peppers to the skillet and cook just to soften slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the noodles, bean sprouts, scallions and sauce to the skillet. Combine the tofu, chicken and egg into the ingredients and stir fry, coating the ingredients with the sauce, and simmer to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Pile the stir fry onto a serving plate and top with chopped peanuts and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

SLOW-COOKER THAI PEANUT CHICKEN



Slow-Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken image

Combining sweet, savory and spicy flavors, it's no wonder Thai Peanut Chicken is a take-out favorite. But here's a secret: It doesn't have to come from a take-out box to turn out delicious. You, or rather your slow cooker, can do this dinner at home. Thai cooking is all about combining bright, bold ingredients to create big flavor. Here's how that works in this recipe. First, simply choosing chicken thighs will start you off in the right direction. Thighs have more fat and turn out tender (not dry) when slow cooked. Second, dredging your thighs in flour and then browning, before slow cooking, develops the flavor of the meat and helps the sauce turn out thick and velvety. Combining standard ingredients-your jar of peanut butter and bottle of Worcestershire-with a few more specialized, but still widely available, ingredients-curry paste (more on that below), coconut milk and fresh ginger-allows you to build the flavor you know and love. Finally, letting all these elements stew together in the slow cooker over low heat melds them together, so you end up with a perfectly balanced and fully flavored dinner.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your Pad Thai. If you don't have chicken broth, you can use water, but the flavor will be less rich.
  • Don't overcook the noodles. They should be cooked al dente, with a slight chew to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use fresh vegetables. This will give your Pad Thai a bright, vibrant flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables, you can use frozen vegetables, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce. The sauce is what makes Pad Thai so delicious. Be generous with it and make sure to coat all of the noodles and vegetables.
  • Serve Pad Thai immediately. It is best enjoyed fresh out of the slow cooker. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just reheat it over low heat until it is warmed through.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker chicken Pad Thai is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
