Chicken Pad Thai
A vibrant Thai classic, this Chicken Pad Thai blends tender chicken, silky rice noodles, and a tangy tamarind‑based sauce. The dish bursts with sweet, salty, and slightly spicy notes, finished with crunchy peanuts and a squeeze of lime for brightness.

About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz rice noodles
- 11 oz chicken breast
- 2 egg
- 3 1/2 oz bean sprouts
- 2 green onions
- 1 4/5 oz peanuts
- 1 lime
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 clove garlic
- 1 4/5 oz shredded carrots
Sauce
- 1 tbsp tamarind paste
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- to taste chili flakes
Instructions
- 1Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- 2In a small bowl, whisk together tamarind paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and chili flakes until the sugar dissolves; set the sauce aside.
- 3Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium‑high heat.
- 4Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- 5Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the wok and stir‑fry for 3–4 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink.
- 6Push the chicken to one side of the wok, crack the eggs into the empty space, and scramble until just set; then mix the eggs with the chicken.
- 7Add the drained noodles and the prepared sauce to the wok, tossing continuously to coat the noodles evenly; cook for 2–3 minutes until the noodles are heated through and the sauce is absorbed.
- 8Stir in the bean sprouts, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions; cook for an additional 1 minute, allowing the vegetables to stay crisp.
- 9Transfer the Pad Thai to serving plates, garnish with crushed peanuts, lime wedges, and extra chili flakes if desired, and serve hot.
