Categories     Lunch

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ lb wide rice noodle
¼ cup palm sugar
¼ cup fish sauce
¼ cup tamarind paste
1 tablespoon oil
6 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, minced
1 teaspoon pickled turnip, optional
1 egg
4 oz tofu, cubed, optional
½ bunch green onion, or chinese chives, sliced, plus more for serving
½ cup bean sprout, plus more for serving
lime, for serving
peanut, for serving
red thai chile, diced, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Soak rice noodles in room temperature water 30 minutes prior to cooking.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together palm sugar, tamarind paste, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and reduce for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Remove sauce from heat and set aside.
  • Heat a cast-iron pan or wok over high heat.
  • Add oil and chicken and cook for about two minutes until nearly cooked through and nicely seared on all sides.
  • Add minced garlic, shallots, and turnips to the chicken and stir to incorporate.
  • Move the chicken to the side of the pan and add the egg. Break the egg up with a spatula or wooden spoon and stir to scramble.
  • Add soaked rice noodles and stir to evenly incorporate all ingredients, stirring for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the reduced sauce and stir.
  • Add tofu, Chinese chives or green onions, and bean sprouts. Stir to incorporate and remove from heat.
  • Serve immediately with lime, peanuts, more sprouts and chives, and red chiles, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Pad Thai turned out really bland. I think I might have used the wrong kind of noodles.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but unfortunately it didn't turn out well. The sauce was too watery and the noodles were overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The Pad Thai was good, but not great. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste and the noodles were a bit too soft.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of Pad Thai, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The sauce was flavorful and the noodles were nice and chewy. I would definitely make this again.
