Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     30-Minute Meals

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound flat rice noodles
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 medium onion, diced small (I used sweet Vidalia)
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin long strips
3 to 5 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
1 tablespoon ground ginger ( 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger may be substituted)
8 ounces thinly sliced green cabbage (about 3 to 4 loosely packed cups)
1 cup shredded carrots
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 to 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
1 large egg, scrambled
2 tablespoons sriracha, optional and to taste
3 green onions, sliced into thin rounds (optionally substitute with 1/3 cup minced fresh Thai basil)
2/3 cup chopped peanuts (I used reduced-salt)

Steps:

  • Cook rice noodles according to package directions, drain, rinse under cold water; set aside.
  • To a very large skillet at least 4 inches deep, add the oils (vegetable and/or olive oil may be substituted for the sesame and coconut oil), onion, and sauté the onion over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until onion is beginning to soften; stir intermittently.
  • Add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes, or until done; stir and flip nearly constantly to ensure even cooking. The chicken will cook very quickly if it's sliced sufficiently thin.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir nearly constantly.
  • Add the cabbage, carrots, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, stir to combine, cover skillet with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 3 minutes, or until cabbage wilts and softens. Remove lid and stir.
  • Add the honey and stir to combine.
  • Add the cooked noodles, turn off the heat, and stir well to combine.
  • Add the scrambled egg, optional sriracha, and stir to combine.
  • Evenly garnish with the green onions, peanuts, and serve.

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 ounces flat rice stick noodles (linguini size)

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)

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.

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 20

150g dried flat rice noodles
4 tbsp sunflower oil
2 garlic cloves , crushed
1 red chilli , finely chopped
2 chicken breasts, sliced finely sliced
½ small pack coriander , leaves picked, and stalks finely chopped
60g spring onions , shredded (reserving some to serve)
2 tbsp chopped pickled turnip (optional)
50ml chicken stock
100g beansprouts
2 eggs
60g roasted unsalted peanuts , chopped
soy sauce , to serve
fresh red chilli , sliced, to serve (optional)
2 tbsp tamarind paste
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp light brown soft sugar
1 lime , half juiced, half cut into wedges to serve
½ tbsp siracha
pinch chilli powder (optional)

Steps:

  • Soak the noodles in warm water for about 20 mins or until al dente, then drain. Meanwhile, make the sauce by mixing together the tamarind paste, fish sauce, sugar, lime and siracha until smooth.
  • Heat half the oil in a frying pan or a wok over a medium heat. Add the garlic and chilli and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Tip in the chicken and cook for 5 mins until golden. Add the coriander stalks, spring onions and turnip (if using), and fry for 1 min. Add in the soaked noodles, 50ml of the chicken stock and the prepared sauce. Keep stir-frying the noodles until they're starting to dry, then add the sauce. Stir everything together and cook over a high heat for 3 mins until the noodles are just cooked. Add a splash more water if needed.
  • When the sauce has reduced, scatter over the beansprouts and fold them into the noodles. Push everything to one side of the pan, then pour in the rest of the oil on the empty side and crack in the eggs. Fry for 2 mins until the white is just set and beginning to crisp around the edges, then roughly scramble the runny yolks in with the whites. When the eggs have just set, combine with the noodles.
  • Scatter over half of the peanuts and quickly toss together. Divide between two plates with the remaining peanuts and spring onion, the lime wedges and soy sauce on the side.

  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: This will help to prevent the noodles from sticking.

  • Add the sauce to the noodles while they are still hot: This will help the sauce to coat the noodles evenly.
  • Serve the pad thai immediately: This dish is best eaten fresh.
