Nat's Version of Crock Pot Easy Pad Thai image

This was created one evening, when I was in "need" of a Pad Thai. These were the things I had on hand, thus it's creation. It can easily be made on stove top (much faster).Don't be afraid to add ingredients, or to leave any out. It's all a matter of taste, but this is the way we enjoy it most!I enjoy this more than going out for a Pad Thai now!

salt and pepper
egg noodles (cooked)

Steps:

  • Heat crock to med.
  • Cut chicken into chunks.
  • Heat frying pan on high.
  • Sear chicken, throw into crock pot.
  • In a bowl mix:.
  • Salsa, peanut butter, soya sauce, ginger, garlic, juice and zest of 1 lime, 2 tbsp of fresh chopped cilantro, and coconut milk.
  • Pour over chicken.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste.
  • Put lid on crock.
  • After 2 hours cooking (should be almost to a simmer), if not turn crock up a bit.
  • When at a slow simmer, add mushrooms.
  • After another hour, add chopped bell peppers and chopped snow peas.
  • Should have about and 45 minutes to an hour left to cook.
  • Serve on noodles, then top with bean sprouts, fresh cilantro and crushed peanuts.
  • Note: if you find your mixture to be quite thick in the crock (depends on peanut butter, salsa -- ) I've added a bit of chicken broth to it, to make it "smoother".

This recipe was a disaster! The noodles were overcooked and the sauce was too salty.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I will try adding more spices next time.
