Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 ounces flat rice stick noodles (linguini size)
3 tablespoons fish sauce
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)
6 ounces chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 cup mung bean sprouts
3 thin scallions, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
  • For the sauce: Stir together the fish sauce, brown sugar, tamarind, sriracha and lime juice in a small bowl until well combined.
  • For the stir fry: Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Push the tofu to the side, allowing the excess oil to drip down into the middle of the skillet. Add the chicken and shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is opaque and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Push to the side with the tofu, allowing the excess oil to drip down into the middle of the skillet. Add the beaten egg to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and chopping to break up, until cooked through, about 30 seconds. Push the egg to the side with the tofu and chicken. 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.
  • Pile the stir fry onto a serving plate and top with chopped peanuts and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

This moist chicken burger packs a good spicy Thai flavor. Cook these in a pan rather than on the grill to keep them together (they are moist).

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 4 burgers, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 lb ground chicken
1/4 medium red onion (minced)
3/4 medium green pepper (minced)
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 tablespoons sriracha hot chili sauce (more if you really like it hot)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cilantro (chopped fine)
1 teaspoon naturally brewed soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut butter

Steps:

  • Combine all your ingredients in a medium bowl until consistent in texture (the mixture will be moist).
  • Heat a medium to large skillet over medium heat. Spray with non-stick spray.
  • Divide the mixture into four and place each portion into the pan shaping with a spatula into a round burger that is no more than 1/2-3/4" thick (you may do this with your hands as well, I just prefer to use the spatula and keep the chicken off my hands). If you prefer a thicker burger, increase the cooking time.
  • Cover with a lid and cook each side for approximately 7 minutes or until the juices run clear and the burgers reach 170 degrees.
  • Serve with mayo on a fresh round roll and enjoy.
