# Introduction

Pad Thai is a world-renowned dish from Thailand that has captivated taste buds worldwide. It's a harmonious blend of sweet, sour, and savory flavors that come together in a symphony of textures. The stir-fried rice noodles are soft and chewy, while the vegetables add a delightful crunch. The combination of tamarind sauce, fish sauce, and peanuts creates a flavor profile that is both unique and addictive.

### Two Pad Thai sauce recipes:

The article provides two variations of the essential Pad Thai sauce: a traditional recipe and a vegan alternative.

1. **Traditional Pad Thai Sauce:**

- This classic sauce captures the authentic flavors of Thailand. It combines fish sauce, tamarind paste, palm sugar, red chili peppers, garlic, and shallots. The result is a well-balanced sauce with a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory notes.

2. **Vegan Pad Thai Sauce:**

- For those following a plant-based diet or with seafood allergies, this vegan sauce is an excellent option. It swaps out the fish sauce for soy sauce and uses agave nectar instead of palm sugar. The result is a flavorful and delicious sauce that retains the essence of Pad Thai while catering to dietary needs.



## Two Rice Noodle recipes:

The article offers two options for the rice noodles, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your preference or dietary requirements.

1. **Traditional Rice Noodles:**

- These wide, flat noodles are made from rice flour and are a staple in Thai cuisine. They have a slightly chewy texture and a mild flavor that absorbs the Pad Thai sauce beautifully.

2. **Gluten-Free Rice Noodles:**

- For those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, these rice noodles provide a safe and tasty alternative. Made from either brown rice or a blend of rice flours, they offer a similar texture and flavor to traditional rice noodles while being gluten-free.

Provided by Jen

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 23

FOR THE SAUCE
1/3 cup chicken or vegetable stock (or water would even work in a pinch)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce (if you don't have this, just use 2 tablespoons of soy and omit the fish sauce)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons natural style peanut butter
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (if you don't have this use white vinegar or 2 tablespoons lime juice and omit rice wine vinegar)
1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon Sriracha or thai chili sauce (depending on your spice tolerance...if you know you're not into spicy, go with only 1 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon minced or grated fresh ginger (you can omit or use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger if you don't have this)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
FOR THE PAD THAI
4 ounces of rice noodles, cooked to package directions and rinsed
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large egg, beaten
1 chicken breast, cubed
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut in half
1/2 cup bean sprouts
FOR THE GARNISH
Chopped cilantro
Chopped peanuts
Lime wedges
Sriracha

Steps:

  • Whisk together sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Cook noodles according to package direction. Rinse and set aside in a colander.
  • Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add oil. Add chicken breast and cook until browned and mostly cooked through. Push the chicken over to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten egg into the skillet in the space you've created and use your cooking spatula to scramble the egg in the skillet. Add the shrimp and keep cooking for about another minute.
  • Add the noodles to the skillet and then pour the sauce over the noodles. You might want to reduce the heat a little at this point to more like medium-low. The mixture will be saucy at first but let it cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. The noodles and proteins will soak up the sauce and it will thicken. Stir the bean sprouts in once everything has thickened and remove from heat. Use a pasta sever to scoop the noodle mixture from the skillet and into shallow bowls (or onto plates).
  • Top with desired toppings and adjust spice level with Sriracha.
