Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 small zucchinis
1 medium sweet potato, peeled
1 daikon radish, 6 inch (15 cm), peeled
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons tamarind paste, or lime juice
6 cloves garlic, minced, divided
¼ cup water
coconut oil, to taste
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons chili paste, or 1 diced jalapeño
⅓ cup roasted peanut, plus more for garnish
½ cup bean sprout, plus more for garnish
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
lime wedge, for garnish

Steps:

  • Trim the ends of the zucchini, then use a vegetable peeler to peel into thin, flat noodles. Repeat with the sweet potato and daikon radish. Set aside.
  • In a wok or large pan over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar, fish sauce, tamarind paste, 3 cloves of garlic, and the water. Cook until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the pad thai sauce to a bowl until ready to use. Wipe out the pan.
  • Heat a drizzle of coconut oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • Add a bit more coconut oil to the pan, if needed, then add the shallot, chili paste, and remaining 3 cloves of garlic. Cook until the shallots are softened and the aromatics are fragrant, 2 minutes.
  • Add the peanuts and bean sprouts, and cook for 1 minute, until the sprouts are softened. Add half of the reserved pad thai sauce and cook until thickened, 3 minutes.
  • Add the vegetable noodles and chicken, and stir to coat with the sauce, adding more as needed. Add the cilantro, toss, and cook for 30-60 seconds, until the noodles are just warmed through but not soggy.
  • Serve immediately garnished with more cilantro, bean sprouts, peanuts, and lime wedges.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. If you can, try to use organic produce whenever possible.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: Pad Thai is a versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. Feel free to add or omit ingredients, or adjust the spiciness level to your taste.
  • Use a wok: A wok is the traditional cooking vessel for Pad Thai. It allows you to stir-fry the noodles quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Pad Thai noodles should be cooked al dente, with a slight chew to them.
  • Serve immediately: Pad Thai is best served immediately after it is cooked. The noodles will start to stick together if they sit for too long.
